The Gates Hillman Center is a unique building that houses the computer science program and research. I love how outside the box the building is #StunningStructures

Awesome wall murals by artist Douglas Cooper. These walls are designed to give viewers the sense that they can "walk into" the space depicted in the mural. Whether by turning corners into alcoves, as is the case with the Northwall Mural, or by extending full height from baseboard to the ceiling, as occurs throughout, the intention is to present no visible edges. The sense of the art work is not that of a picture on a wall, but of an edgeless view into a space beyond.

Dottie

Stayed here with my family when we did college drop off. This was an excellent choice as we had rented a car. The drive to and from was not bad and worth it if you like a quiet get away from the bustling city. Although adjust drive during "rush" hour, it was normally 15-30 mins. Worth it for us as we saved a little money. Additionally, we were near the shopping center so we were able to picking up missing items for our kids dorm.

A reasonable alternative to staying downtown or closer to CMU campus, as the hotel is located in Homestead, which is just across the bridge connected to Oakland.
