Falling Leaves: Accommodations

    For those citizens of the East Kingdom for whom this event is a goodly distance from home, this list of nearby hostels and Inns is provided. Only one of these worthy establishments is within walking distance of the site of Falling Leaves, that being the Wellesley Motor Inn, but the others are all within a ten to fifteen minute drive of the campus, and the Inns will be able to provide you with contact information for taxi services.

    If you are planning on driving from any of these hotels, please check the directions immediately following each hotel.

    1. The Wellesley Motor Inn
      Wellesley, MA
      (781) 235-8555

      Drive (or walk) down Rt. 16 west, and turn right at the first stoplight you reach. (If you reach Rt. 135, you went the wrong direction; turn around.) Follow the road through Wellesley College. There will be various side roads coming off the main college road; don't turn off on any of them. If you are on foot, immediately after you pass by a small pond surrounded by trees, you'll reach a meadow; this is Munger Meadow, one of the main locations for the Event. Ask for directions to the Gate from anyone wearing a white oak leaf on their shoulder. If you are driving, follow the road past the meadow, and go past two turnoffs on your left. The second one would be Campus Police. Take the next left after Campus Police (this will be a parking lot.) Park, and follow the signs for Gate.
