<p>For the night between your 2-day orientation, Annapolis would be a great destination for them, especially since they don’t need to be on campus early on the 2nd day. They can do their “own” Annapolis tour on the 2nd day. For visiting campus later on (for example, parents weekend), they’ll probably want to be closer to campus. We enjoy the Greenbelt area because it is more of a business/office park area and away from some of the more “interesting” places on Rt. 1. We’ve stayed at the Marriott on campus once, at some time that was an “off” time…the hotel rates were really reasonable. We always check, but it’s usually quite a bit more expensive than the Greenbelt hotels. The Greenbelt hotels only work if you have a car, however.</p>
