12 hotels across 8 Texas and the Mountain West campuses in 5 states, every one within a mile and a half of the campus it serves. 7 are under a mile, close enough to walk back between a ceremony and dinner, or to drop a carload of boxes and come back for the rest.
Distances are straight-line, measured from the hotel to the campus, which means they are consistent from one entry to the next and you can check them. The full method, and why there are no walking times, is in the main college stays guide.

Book around the campus calendar
Move-in in late August and commencement in May are the two dates everyone wants at once, and in a small college town there is nowhere else to put people. Family weekend and homecoming in October usually land on a home game, which doubles demand. Check the athletics calendar before the academic one.
If your dates are fixed and a pick above is full, use the "see all hotels" link under each campus. It searches from the campus rather than the city centre, so results come back in the right order.
