Important Note: The hotel rooms are guaranteed until October 17, after which you may still get the discounted rate depending on the availability of rooms. Since that weekend is also the Parents' weekend of the University, rooms are quickly running out as many visitors are coming to town. Please make your reservations as soon as possible.

How to commute between the hotel and the airport or the University on Metro:
The hotel is within a short walk from the Metro Link station (called Central West End station). There are two types of trains going by the station. If you are commuting between the hotel and the airport, you need to ride on trains with "Lambert Airport" signs on the front and side of the train. If you are commuting between the hotel and the University, you need to ride on trains with "Shrewsbury I-44" signs. The station at the University is called Skinker (2 stops from the hotel). Here is a map of the Metro trains. The trains run every 15 minutes or so, and tickets can be purchased at any station.

The following google map shows the campus, hotel and metro link stations mentioned above.
