Lots of good stuff on 31. Stay away from the Howard Johnson’s! We booked at a Super 8 for Freshman Orientation this year. It’s about a five-minute drive to campus down Cleveland Road which is a limited access divided highway–we got a much better rate that way.

We’ve been lucky a few times to get the Marriott downtown using Priceline (specify the highest star level of hotel–I think 3 or 3.5), with a bid of $60 a night. We’ve done this two years in a row to visit our son. It’s sure worth a try! Not sure how busy the hotels are at the end of March.

I’d strongly suggest running TripAdvisor reviews on any hotels you want to book in South Bend, just to make sure they are decent. Howard Johnson’s is supposedly a real nightmare. The Marriott is awesome, if you can get it cheap on Priceline…
