Hotel for Graduation

Hi,

I know that some hotels near big schools sometimes start making reservations one year before the graduation (I know this sounds crazy). I am hoping people can recommend hotels for CMU graduation (2016). I don’t know what or how much shuttles services will be offered by CMU, so I prefer not to be too far away.

Any advice about hotels or commencement weekend in general is definitely appreciated.

Thanks!

Whenever I’ve visited Pittsburgh my family stays in the Shadyside Inn. It’s like a 5-10 minute drive to CMU and the rooms are pretty spacious with a kitchenette and a living area. Would recommend.

But wayyyy too expensive

Shadyside Inn, but it’s expensive. However, everything at graduation time is expensive. We have stayed at Shadyside and loved it. We also stay at Hampton Inn University Circle. Very nice but also very expensive during special times like graduation, move-in weekend and parents weekend etc.
