| HEADS UP for those with kids in the Class of 2009...Sheraton Clayton is already booked for graduation weekend 2009, as is the Hampton Inn & Suites, the Drury Suites and I think, the Crowne Plaza. I was able to book rooms that can be cancelled at the Westin, and reservations open Thursday at the Chase Park. The Chase Park, however, will charge a one night, non-refundable deposit for each reservation. Once you pass 30 days out however (like April 14, 2009), the entire reservation will be charged. The Ritz hasn't started accepting reservations yet, but I suspect they will be VERY expensive. Currently the graduation weekend rate for this year is double the regular weekend rate.
However, on the original topic, any of the hotels mentioned here are safe and convenient to Wash U. We have always stayed at the Sheraton, but clearly we will have a different destination for graduation next year! |
