<p>We are coming up for a visit next month and booked a room at the Orchards Hotel. How is the walk to campus? Would it be easier just to drive over? Williams' website lists it as within walking distance........Thanks!</p>
<p>The Orchards is a little shy of a mile to campus and there is a sidewalk all the way there. Walk or car is your choice. Personally, I’d walk it if the weather was nice but that’s just me.</p>
<p>That is great to know, especially about the sidewalk. Thanks so much! We are looking forward to our visit.</p>
<p>disneydebk–I tried to PM you but it wasn’t permitted because I didn’t have enough posts. It should be a lovely walk in October!</p>
<p>Thanks, MAOnemom!
I sent you a message back. You are very kind!</p>
<p>We stayed near the Orchards the first time we visited Williams. I’m a walker, but I found that the walk was tiresome after a while, especially on a cold, rainy night. For subsequent visits we opted for a B&B on campus. I really loved the time I spent in Williamstown, though. Keep looking for an excuse to return.</p>
