A top choice for stays is the downtown area, brimming with history, vibrant nightlife, and cultural venues. A stone's throw away from the West Virginia University (WVU) campus, it's ideal for visitors looking to immerse in the local student life or who are in town for university-related events. Those in pursuit of retail therapy will appreciate the convenience of being near High Street’s shops and boutiques.
For a more tranquil retreat, visitors might favour South Park. This residential area features gorgeous historic homes, lush parks, and an overall serene atmosphere, serving as a peaceful haven just minutes from the hustle of downtown.
Families and sports enthusiasts often choose to stay near the Evansdale campus of WVU, given its proximity to the WVU Coliseum and Milan Puskar Stadium. With ample hotels and eateries, this locale also provides easy access to the Creative Arts Center.
Sabraton, situated east of Downtown, offers good value accommodation options, with a suburban feel and quick access to I-68, it’s conveniently located for those looking to explore the wider region or for business travellers.
Suncrest combines proximity to both university campuses with shopping and dining opportunities, particularly around Suncrest Towne Centre. It’s a modern, upmarket area that suits visitors looking for a bit more luxury and convenience.
Navigating Morgantown is straightforward. The Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system presents an unusual but efficient mode of transport, linking different WVU campuses. Mountain Line Transit Authority provides bus services throughout the city, while cycling is encouraged with several bike-friendly routes. Many central areas are easily walkable. For those with cars, parking is widely available, though it can be scarce during university events.
