Top Gillespie Conference & Special Events Center Hotel Reviews

The Inn at Saint Mary's

8/10 Good

"The Inn was nice the only complaint I have was I booked this hotel because it stated it had an airport shuttle but neither Expedia nor the hotels actual website stated limited hours so we were forced to pay a $30 cab fee. I would not booked the hotel if I knew that the airport shuttle was limited hours and what was worse was the clerk didn't seem to be bothered by the inconvenience and extra cost."

Days Inn by Wyndham South Bend / Notre Dame

8/10 Good

"although the room was a non-smoking room, it smelled of cigarettes."

Wingate by Wyndham South Bend/Notre Dame

10/10 Excellent

"The only minor issue we had was there wasn’t an elevator and our room was on the 4th floor. We had came from the Notre Dame game and the location was perfect. The restaurant attached to the hotel had great food. The waitress seemed very busy and a little rude. Could have just been the rush after the game. So we got our food to go and ate it in the room. The food was excellent. We will definitely stay again when we come to ND football games."

Morris Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff"

Comfort Suites University Area Notre Dame - South Bend

"Was nice"

Spacious 3br 3. 5 bath townhome w/garage (123p)

10/10 Excellent

"Home was exactly as described and perfect for our weekend. The home was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and it was great having an ensuite bathroom. There is a little deck outside and the area was quiet. The only recommendation would be to bring a fan if you need air movement when you sleep as there are no ceiling fans and it was hot when we visited. House was easy to get to and about a 15 min walk to the Notre Dame campus; about 25 to the stadium. This is the perfect option for a family get away and I would stay again!"
