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 Worcester Polytechnic Institute
We haven't yet confirmed the ceremony venue for Worcester Polytechnic Institute from its own commencement page, so the walk times here run to campus only.
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.
