Yeah there were some conventions going on at the end of March.  Latter Day Saints for one and Bollywood I think.  Calmed down a little now.  What Kind of hotel are looking for?  I love the hojo on South Dale Mabry.  They also have an awesome hot tub suite that runs about $20 more.  Also in mid range, where my fav provider usually goes is La Quinta on Spruce.  About $100 a night.  Also recently saw a girl at the comfort inn near the stadium.  North of MLK, south of Hillsborough.  She said $300 a week.  A busy commercial area, but she loved the pond that is near the back of the property.  Also Baymont near Busch Gardens.  Hope these details help

Good choices there.......
