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.

Graduation weekend at University of Maryland-College Park

University of Maryland-College Park holds its main ceremony at SECU Stadium, usually in May. On our map, 5 places to stay sit no more than about a 20-minute walk from it, none inside 10. Schools and colleges also hold their own ceremonies (several in Xfinity Center, per search snippets).

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.
