Very clean and nice hotel. Welcomed us with champagne and pulled pork/chicken BBQ sliders on Friday night. Saturday had an omelet bar that complimented the already complimentary breakfast. Great place to stay for a weekend in Southbend for a football game.
Had a great stay, The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby restaurants Overall, it was a relaxing and pleasant experience...
Nice place with great access to N.D. campus. They're in the midst of a remodel. Made things cramped at check-in and breakfast. Room decor was dated, but comfortable and clean. Signage pointing to elevators could be improved in the guest hallways. Once remodel is finished, it'll be worth another look.
The hotel is right next to St. Mary's college (within walking distance). The hotel staff were wonderful and very kind. There is a free shuttle that can be used for short trips into town which was super helpful. The lobby had free breakfast which includes things like eggs, potato's, a meat item, fruit, juice, coffee, tea, cereal, toast, and some baked goods. There is currently construction at the hotel in the lobby/front area but it did not cause any issues with noise or dust. The rooms are a little outdated but they seem to be getting upgraded a few at a time. Other than that the room was clean and put together. Overall great hotel for a quick stay and very nice staff.
We had a short stay at the Inn after arrive very late into SBN Airport on our way to our final destination a bit further south. Even though we arrived near midnight the front desk was welcoming and got us settled very quickly. The facility and the room were comfortable and well appointed even if they were a bit dated. I was happy to see that they have renovation plans in in the works and I think it will be wonderful when it's done. The breakfast in the morning was diverse, tasty, and filling. Overall, we had a very nice (albeit) short stay.
The complimentary breakfast was great with lots of choices, the property was clean and staff friendly. While the room (215) was clean and comfortable felt, and smelled, damp. We enjoyed our king size bed which was very comfortable tho we couldn't find a channel guide in the room. Additionally there were no towels bars or bathroom water cups and the complimentary room coffee was not good. (The coffee provided for breakfast was very good) overall, we enjoyed our stay there as it was very quiet and comfortable. We really enjoyed the pathway to the University of Notre Dame which was just across the highway. A very nice walk to the campus. We for sure would stay here again.
It was very clean and friendly place. It offered free breakfast with plenty of food choices. On-site bar and Starbucks. It also had a small store with Notre Dame appeal. The best is free parking. Also there were free shuttle service. Look they had the hotel decorated for the game.
Lovely front desk person, friendly and helpful in suggesting the Bistro next door… great French onion soup and Cesar salad. Large fitness center and good breakfast. Dog friendly!
Nestled between the campuses of St. Mary's College and the University of Notre Dame, this upscale redbrick hotel is 3 miles from the Studebaker National Museum.
