I have to be honest, I was a little leery on what to expect based on a lot of the reviews I have read. I am pleased to say I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I stayed here overnight on a Notre Dame Football weekend and our experience couldn't have been better. The staff was exceptional- very friendly and... More

Stayed for a night after an ND home game. We found it because of the reasonable rate and no two-night minimum (rare in So. Bend on football weekends, from my experience). Location is good; right downtown with restaurants nearby. It's an old Holiday Inn recently acquired and still in transition, so we found a mixed bag: great views, poor mattress... More

Stayed here 1 night. Nice place, clean rooms, very spacious. I didn't like the bed, though. Hard and uncomfortable for me. No continental breakfast, which is always a let down, in any hotel. Average place for an overnight. More

The only good thing about this place was the location. Everything else was dirty and sucked. More

We stayed here for a Notre Dame football game weekend (Friday and Saturday night). We chose this place because they had availablilty, and they were right downtown. First, the location is absolutely excellent. We walked EVERYWHERE downtown, including bars, restaurants, and the College Football Hall of Fame. The only time we moved the car was on the game day, as... More

Our room on the 14th floor in the corner had windows along two walls with amazing views of the Notre Dame buildings. We walked to many restaurants that were great and everything was very convenient. More

We had a very good experience. Josh at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, and had a lot of knowledge about the downtown area. The Manager Susan was friendly and courteous, and was again very helpful. The lobby was beautiful, and there was a small nook where you could buy deli sandwiches 24/7. There was a large pool... More

Terrible experience. During our two day stay, the elevators failed, room service suddenly closed, the movie rental through the TV didn't work, and there was something very wrong with the plumbing because the toilet was "burping" all night. Stay here only as your last resort. Every guest leaving at the same time we did was angry. More

Thank you for taking time to express how you felt about your last stay at our property. Unfortunately South Bend experienced an electrical storm. The severe weather caused some problems. The lightening knocked out a water pump but our engineers were able to repair it. The elevator needed a part that we got not get over the weekend. I’m happy... More

First you'll notice on the building it's still labeled as a Holiday Inn on the building as well as the rooms. The floor needs to be replaced as well as other parts of the hotel. BEDDING AND MATTRESS more then anything. More

Not a very nice location, but hey, this is south bend. Is all a dump. This hotel is ten minutes from the airport and it took 45 min to get picked up. While one lady was working the front desk the phone would just ring and ring. The ancient air conditioning left everything damp with moisture. There were some positives.... More
