<p>We're hoping to visit in July and don't know the twin cities. Any suggestions on where to stay close to campus? Thanks.</p>
<p>Check out the link on the admissions website for places to stay in the area. On our first visit, my daughter and I stayed one night at the alumni house right on campus and the second night at Cathedral Hill Bed and Breakfast. When she went back for an admitted students event last month with my husband, they stayed at the Best Western Bandana Square. All of these places were fine. Good luck!</p>
<p>I recommend Courtyard by Marriott, Roseville. It is a straight shot from the hotel down Snelling Ave. to Macalester. The hotel itself is in a quiet business park area. It’s about a 10 minute drive to the campus and we’ve found it nice to get away from the busyness in the area closer to the college.</p>
<p>We have stayed at the Hilton in downtown St. Paul, about a 10 minute drive to Mac, maybe 15 minutes from the airport. We chose this hotel because of freebie Hilton points H has accumulated, but I like the convenience of being able to walk to city restaurants. The downside was having to pay to park the rental car at night.</p>
