Reading the cards: minutes are our estimates from map distance, so they say "about". Breakfast, suites and kitchens are what each hotel brand promises across its hotels, not something we checked room by room. The places listed under a hotel are the closest ones within roughly a 10-minute walk of its door.

University of Arizona holds its main ceremony at Casino Del Sol Stadium, usually in May. On our map, 3 places to stay sit no more than about a 20-minute walk from it, none inside 10. 2 are within about 15 minutes on foot of both the venue and the tour start. Listing reads 'Commencement 2027' / 'Friday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m.' / 'Casino Del Sol Stadium' / 'subject to change' on separate lines; no full sentence.
Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.
Worth doing before you book
Look at your tour confirmation: the meeting spot can differ by day or by program.
Ask the hotel about parking; near many campuses it costs extra or is off site.
Touring two schools in one day? Leave room for lunch and the drive between them.
For move-in or graduation, ask about minimum stays and the cancellation deadline.
University of Arizona gear for the ride home
A hat for the tour, a hoodie for the acceptance letter, a frame for the far end of it all. Each button runs an Amazon search for that item with the school's name filled in.
