<p>Welcome! I hope you enjoy your visit to SLU! I have a freshman there now, who is very happy! He has met many really nice friends and has found lots to do. He is totally enjoying the SLU experience. To answer your question…we have stayed many different places in our visits etc. There is a Courtyard Marriott very nearby (I think less than a mile east?). They offer SLU discounts and is very nice. The area is totally safe too. I’d go with that, or else something directly downtown. The downtown area is very close and has many very nice hotels. If you priceline something, try the “downtown” area. I don’t think you will go wrong.</p>
<p>I hope this helps. Have a great visit!</p>
<p>By the way, this weekend is “Family Weekend” and we will be off to see our son and enjoy the campus…looking forward to it!</p>
