The Inn at Saint Mary's

8/10 Good

"Very clean and very comfortable bed and couch. Staff was very courteous and professional. Parking was plentiful. Unfortunately, TV had some issues with volume control and program identification. Eggs at breakfast tasted like powdered eggs, and oatmeal was only half cooked."

Baymont By Wyndham South Bend

10/10 Excellent

"Don’t let the outside fool you. They are redoing the outside right now and it looks run down but the inside is very nice. Very clean. The rooms are nearly soundproof; could hear nothing. One of the best beds and best showers I’ve ever had in a hotel. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful; would one hundred percent stay here again."

Amazing 6-bedroom house with spacious yard .3 miles from ND campus

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful two-story home. With 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it offered plenty of space for our group. The backyard is fantastic, featuring a fire pit that provided the perfect gathering spot to relax and unwind after the game. The property matched the listing perfectly, and the host was responsive, professional, and deserving of a 5-star review.This is an excellent choice for families or groups of friends attending a Notre Dame football weekend in South Bend. Finding accommodations during football season can be challenging, but this home exceeded our expectations and made for a memorable weekend. Highly recommended! "
