I recall there is something at/near Jupiter, but I can't remember the name.  Were you interested in being near LWI, there are at least two options -- Sailfish Marina, and its next door neighbor (name escapes me).

If Stuart interests you, try Pirates Cove or Monterrey Inn

Fort Pierce  has a couple nice hotels right in the inlet , I've stayed at most of them , and I think Harbor Light is the nicest.

HOw nice and for how long? THe place I keep my ride isn't fancy and they don't like one night stays but EASY walking distance to Guanabanas, Square Grouper and VERY close to a ramp and the inlet.

THere is also Jupiter Waterfront Inn a little further north.

March is a tricky month,usually very windy and accompanying rough seas.But if you time it on calm days,fishing could be good.This is the month where the big dorados start showing up.

re: itsrusty

March fishing on the Treasure Coast is one of the worst three months offshore.  I hope you get lucky with the weather.  Although you can ALWAYS fish inshore.   Head South on the intercoastal for popano or sea trout.  You can even sneak out of St lucie inlet and catch some Spanish Mackerel at Pecks Lake as the run to Pecks is inside the reef break. Just look for the mass of other boats to find the Spanish.

If the weather cooperates head South East and look for the temp breaks and troll naked ballyhoos for sails and dolphin.

good luck!

re: UNHOOKED

Ive stayed at the dockside inn and am staying there next weekend.  Right on the inlet with docks there.  Pretty reasonable prices, and great views if you want the waterfront.  Real close to the boat ramp, and has storage for your trailer.  You have snook right under the dock at night you can fish for.  But other than fishing there really isnt much in fort pierce.
