My advice for visiting St A is pretty simple. Stay in town if you can (this would eliminate the Fairmont that was mentioned above). If you are truly there to visit the school and get a feel for the environment then you need to stay and walk the city. Find a place as close as you can get to Scores, North, Market, South Streets.

We did an air bnb on South Street when my daughter graduated from St. A this past June and it was perfect. We have also stayed at a nice little B&B on Murray Park a few times (The Bell Craig). There are about six or seven B&B’s on Murray Park, which is between Scores and North Streets. If you really want to stay in a hotel then I would recommend The Old Course Hotel or McDonald’s Russacks. Staying too far out means either longer walks or the pain of finding parking.
