The weekend, practically.
Homecoming and Fall Family Weekend share one weekend in Auburn, and it sells out a year ahead. Graduation is the next one. We book the family's rooms on one link, handle the drive and hold the tables.
Auburn and Opelika together don't have many hotel rooms for a Saturday in the fall, and the downtown ones go first. If in-town is gone we look at Opelika, then Columbus or Montgomery, roughly 45 minutes to an hour out on a normal day. On a game day, add time; we have not timed it ourselves.
Graduation is the one to book now. Families of May 2027 graduates are already holding rooms, and the in-town hotels that take bookings that far out often want three nights. We'll tell you what's open for your dates before you pay for anything.
Each family books its own room from one link. We go through the terms with you before anyone books.
