Traveling to UMass

140 Governor’s Drive
Amherst, MA 01003
General directions Google Map

My Flying Advice:
The closest airport is Hartford CT's Bradley (BDL) and is 45-1hr from campus.  Westcoasters will find no direct flights from the Bay.  I usually go through Newark on Delta, NWA through Detroit, or UAL through Chicago. Boston (BOS) is not the closest airport, but has more direct flights and is 2 hrs driving from Amherst.

My Hotel Advice: The Campus Center Hotel (super convenient, 8 minute walk to the building).  I have heard decent reviews and it is pretty cheap.
There is a brand new Mariott Courtyard that is very convenient to Umass (reviews have been good).
There is a nice old hotel in the middle of Amherst called the Lord Jeff:
If you into the B+B thing, the Black Walnut Inn is supposedly the best
If you want to stay in Northampton (more exciting, and that is where I live, 8 miles away), the Hotel Northampton is the best, but I think its overpriced.
