Top South Bend Hotel Reviews

Irish Lodge South Bend

8/10 Good

"The elevator on the north side of the hotel was inoperative during our three night stay. The room was very clean and comfortable, but the pillows were way too thick. The king size bed was comfortable. I had to ask the front desk for better bath towels on the morning of our 2nd day as the bath towels felt like sandpaper; we had plush, nicer bath towels for our last night. All I ever need at a hotel is a clean room with good A/C along with decent pillows and towels in good condition. I would stay here again."

Comfort Suites University Area Notre Dame - South Bend

The Inn at Saint Mary's

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the Inn were all very helpful and friendly. In addition to restaurant and activity suggestions for our time at Notre Dame the front desk representatives provided directions for walking to campus and for the shuttle service to the airport following our stay."

"Was nice"

Comfort Suites South Bend near Casino

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here many times this year, it’s always clean, the staff is always helpful, and checking in is always quick. The only thing I don’t like is that there is a $150 deposit when I’ve never even paid $150 for a room there. I stay in hotels often, and I’ve stayed in larger brand hotels and the only place that charges $150 cash or card for a deposit is this hotel. The 4 Holiday Inn Express hotels in the area each charge $25. I love the place but the $150 has me considering whether I’ll choose this place in the future if the Holiday Inn Expresses in the area have availability."
