🚧 TBD — off-pattern option. Better amenities than St. Robert hotels, but the 30-min graduation-morning drive is the tradeoff. Worth recommending if St. Robert is sold out or if guests prioritize hotel quality.

How we picked these

  • Within about twenty minutes of Gate 2 by the typical Family Day and Graduation arrival window (7 AM traffic).
  • Rating at least 3.7 on the source platform (Booking.com, Hilton.com, IHG.com).
  • Breakfast hours that overlap with the 5:30 to 6:30 AM graduation-morning departure window (flagged on each card).
  • Military rate documented at the property, not just a chain-wide policy.
  • We don’t rank by commission. The “top pick” flag is about graduation-week fitness: proximity, breakfast, whether you’ll actually want to come back to it after the day is over. Not about who pays us most.

We'll email a hotel reminder six weeks out. That's when rates start jumping.
