<p>Those of you who have stayed in the area before or have already made reservations for orientation, what hotel(s) in the area would you recommend. Thanks!</p>
<p>There are a bunch of hotels just outside of North Gate, in the Chapel Hills Mall area that people stayed in last year. I stayed a little farther off (can't remember the name of it though).</p>
<p>The Academy Hotel is right outside the South Gate and is very nice. We have stayed there twice and have had a nice time. It is very convenient to the Academy and the restaurants on Academy Blvd. The CC dinner for orientation last year was at Famous Dave's and after dinner a bunch of the appointees went over to the Academy Hotel and sat in the hot tub. It was a very nice way to get to know some future classmates.</p>
<p>Welcome</a> to The Academy Hotel </p>
<p>You might want to get reservations ASAP as this is probably the most popular one. There are a lot of hotels on Academy Blvd in this area. Others that we have tried and liked:</p>
<p>Staybridge Suites on Commerce Drive (very good choice for Parents Weekend since the rooms are all suites, and it is nice for your cadet to have his/her own room to just sleep whenever they want to).
Holiday Inn Express on Commerce Drive. Right next to the Staybridge, but smaller rooms and less $$.</p>
