For those looking for a room for move-in weekend, try some of the bed and breakfasts. We have stayed
at the Rossville Inn, in Hamilton, and the Plas Cadnant, in Shandon ( Hamilton ). Both are no more than
20 minutes. Both are lovely places to stay. We didn’t find Plas Cadnant until commencement weekend
last year ( my daughter graduated May 2014 ). We usually stayed at a B&B in Eaton, but I turned
down an offer, as my daughter thought that she would not be able to graduate until December. Unfortunately, that
B&B is no longer in business. The Plas Cadnant, in Shandon/Hamilton, is owned by a wonderful Welsh/British
older couple. It is a historic house with a lot of character, in a rather rural area. The Rossville Inn is close to downtown
Hamilton. It also is a historic home. Both should be listed on the Miami admission site. We always enjoy staying in
B&B’s when possible. We did the same in New Orleans when my older daughter was at Tulane University. They are
just so warm and welcoming. And it’s nice to find a place that you can be a regular during the college years.is
