to & from
We flew into Detroit, rented a car which we returned to Midway for our return Flight. Drove from Ann Arbor to South Bend to Madison to Evanston/Chicago.
Where to Stay
- We did not stay in Ann Arbor, as we drove to the University of Notre Dame after our tour and lunch. In South Bend, if the Morris Inn is available (it won’t be on any football weekends), I would recommend staying there as it is right on campus, with the Inn at Saint Mary’s or Ivy Court as a second choice.
- In Madison, we stayed at Hampton Inn and Suites, as it was walkable to both downtown and the University.
- In Evanston, we stayed at the Hyatt House, an all suite hotel which was centrally located and lovely with a bar in the lobby.
