Rooms needed to be cleaned better. They did not have extra blankets. Had to go to front desk because they did not have the sheets for the pull out couch in the room. Walls were falling apart.

We have stayed at this hotel 4-6 times over the course of the last three years, and with this current stay, we learned they are under new ownership, and they have been rebranded. One of the reasons that we have stayed here is because they had free postcards at the front desk. On this stay, I learned that there were no postcards. I was told that this was because the South Bend Board of Tourism did not have postcards. OK, I can't be mad about that.

However, we also found out that the breakfast now does not offer any type of protein (eggs, sausage, bacon, etc.). It is now waffles, as well as fruit, yogurt, toast, hard boiled eggs, and oatmeal. This was very disappointing.

The next time we come to South Bend, we will probably look for somewhere else to stay.

Check in was super easy. I was able to check in early which was great because we made good travel time.
The room was very large. Way more space than I have had in other hotel rooms with a pull out and two queen/ full beds. The wall paper was at the beginning stages of coming off in many places, the toilet paper holder fell out of the wall and there was a man’s dirty sock found between the bed and the wall ( there were no men in our room).
There was only one elevator for a large hotel which made it a little difficult for parents with small kids.
The hotel was changing over room locks, this was very good signage to let me know, except mine was changed while I was out for the day so after lugging kids and grandma on the long hike to the room, only to find out I had to walk back to the front desk to get a new room key. I would’ve appreciated a phone call while I was out that my room lock had been changed and to stop at the front desk for a new key. While I was there, the front desk worker told me that it could be worse and I could be one of the five people checking in that night that wasn’t going to have a room because Expedia overbooked.
The breakfast was carb heavy. The protein was hard boiled eggs that were extremely overcooked. The hotel staff did not change the garbage during the breakfast hours so the garbage cans were overflowing. And the front staff just sat at the desk. The pool is under renovations at this time so we were not able to use that.

This was our second time staying here in a month. We really like this hotel. It’s very clean. The price is great. They are making improvements and updating it. The first time we stayed we stayed in. Double queen suite. It had a door to the sleeping area- separate of the sitting area. There was a full refrigerator, dishwasher, stove top, pot, pan, sink, it was very spacious for our family of 6. The second time we had a king room and it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was very basic- waffles, pastries, yogurt, cereal, juice, coffee. We appreciated having something though.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially since we had to switch rooms in the middle of the night. The air conditioning in the unit above was leaking into the ceiling causing a large peeling spot on the ceiling and a constant leak into our room. We were told by the night attendant that the maintenance issue was known and that the room was supposed to be out of service, and we were placed in it anyway. Despite this, when we called about it at 2:00 am, the attendant was quickly very helpful and got us switched and we resumed our rest in a nice room with no further issues. They did authorize a partial refund for the one night stay. Overall, the hotel is a little \"tired\" and I think they are doing some rehab in some of the rooms. The breakfast would have been fine if we wanted just a quick yogurt, toast, muffin or waffle; but if you want something more substantial, there is no other hot breakfast offerings other than the waffle maker. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable and I felt like the cost to value ratio was appropriate.

The evening desk clerk told me the hotel was undergoing renovations, which accounted for the pallets of some unknown material sitting in the lobby, and the plaster on the hallway floors where ceiling tiles had been removed.
It did NOT explain the chunk of panel missing from the corner of our door, the moist texture of the room's carpet, or the dead winged insect stuck to the window blind.
I wouldn't recommend this place until it's taken over by Marriott; then, it might be okay.

Oatmeal, yogurt, toast and coffee (there is more than just oatmeal). My only complaint is the signage at the road. I drove by it a couple times because the sign is covered, but it's my understanding they are doing renovations and I'm sure the sign will be out soon. I would definitely stay there again. I booked it through Hotels.com and got a good price.

This hotel was bought and is in transition so much construction was going on. It was not terrible but things like access doors from certain parking entrances were closed making having to walk all way from back of hotel to front entrance was annoying. This and things like pool being closed would have been okay IF I had been made aware prior to booking. Staff at check-in, although friendly, were consistently loud while taking with each other and certain customers. To point of not being able to hear ambient music. Continental breakfast, besides, hard boiled eggs, has no good protein options. Focus on waffles and cereal.

We had to ask for an extra towel three times, the pool was being renovated and the whole hotel was under major renovations. I understand, but it should be on their website especially the pool not opened. The room was not very clean, it needed vacuumed and the bathroom sink had a full crack inside of it. Just felt it wasn't maintained. I hope with renovations it will be better. The hotel was very loud, doors slamming and people talking in the next room. You could hear everything. We will not stay here again.

So when I booked this hotel as a pet friendly hotel, I was not informed that there was a $30 pet fee per pet! Outrageous plus a $50 refundable deposit I was informed when I checked in and did not have the monies on me to pay $140 for the pets! The receptionist said that’s fine. I will wave the fees and I hope I don’t get in trouble! All I had available was $38.94 which she took as the total then proceeded to tell the new receptionist that I did not pay! I am not happy! On top of that one of my dogs is a service dog that does not have to be notified that she’s a service dog. I was informed that my response to the question of.(WHAT TASK DOES YOUR SERVICE DOG PERFORM?) as I began to speak the morning management informed me that my response was not an ADA response! She would not let me speak to what the dog did. I was trying to let her know that my service dog alerts me when my oxygen is low, when I am about to have a panic attack, or my anxiety is increasing, all I got out was that she alerts me when my oxygen is low,! I was interrupted immediately and not able to finish speaking to inform her that for the oxygen she licks the back of my ear, and for the panic attacks and anxiety, she gets on me whether I’m standing or sitting and lanes towards me to calm my panic attacks or anxiety I will be calling the ADA to make sure what the appropriate response for a disabled handler to speak when I asked what task she performs!
