Hotels booked across South Bend with busy weekend instore for the area

SOUTH BEND, Ind.------ 

Hotels like the Double Tree in South Bend are bracing for their own March Madness are multiple events tip off in town, including the NCAA Women's tournament. 

Which is great for the local economy, especially hotels, restaurants, and bars, in a time of year that is normally slow. 

"its really good because it helps utilize the rooms for the hotel…and gives us back additional revenue…because obviously football is only 6 games a year.. and we always sell out… we've actually sold out for one of the games already," added Sales Manger Cindy King.
