I interviewed there a couple of years ago and I stayed at a Best Western (you should be able to find it on Travelocity or Expedia) I think it was the University Best Western or something. It was pretty close, and like most hotels they had a shuttle, so I just took that instead of walking. Most places have a discount if you are going for university business too, so make sure to ask about a discount wherever you stay.
GOOD LUCK!!!
