<p>Most people who stay at hotels near Wellesley stay in Natick or Needham or some other local suburb. A lot of people stay at the Courtyard Marriott in Natick on Speen Street; when I came for spring open campus, Wellesley College had reserved some rooms for people coming for SOC so you got a reduced price on the room. I know there are some other Marriotts in the area also. Rooms were definitely reasonably priced though I don’t remember exactly what my parents paid; breakfast was not included. </p>
<p>If you’re looking for something cheaper, there is a Travelodge in Natick also that is located right across from the Natick Collection (the largest mall in New England) and also across the street from Dick’s Sporting Goods and a Starbucks and some other stores. The rooms there are about half of what it would cost to stay at the Courtyard Marriott but you are also paying for quality of the room…</p>
<p>Wellesley College also has it’s own hotel of sorts on campus, the College Club. It has a limited number of rooms but it is right on campus! Prices are a but more expensive ($135-150) but here is the information. You can make reservations online.
[Welcome</a> to the Wellesley College Club](<a href=“http://www.wellesley.edu/Collegeclub/accommodations.html]Welcome”>http://www.wellesley.edu/Collegeclub/accommodations.html)</p>
<p>If your daughter wants to come out by herself and cannot come in the day of Spring Open Campus, I would call admissions and see if she could stay with a student that night. We have an overnight hostess program throughout the year for prospective students with volunteer hostesses.</p>
<p>Also, here is the list of hotels from the Admissions website: <a href=“http://www.wellesley.edu/admission/admission/hotels.html[/url]”>http://www.wellesley.edu/admission/admission/hotels.html</a></p>
<p>Also, if you have to come in early for Spring Open Campus (I know a lot of flights from the West Coast in particular come in to Boston around 5-6am) you can contact admissions and they can arrange for you all to come to campus before the actual check-in time. I know some people who did this my year and they really bonded with each other and had a chance to explore the campus on their own for a bit.</p>
