Used hotel site & chose non-refundable offer. The card is charged right away, & guarantees the low rate. Clean room & very comfy bed. The included breakfast was an expected selection, but rotated so it wasn't the same thing two mornings in a row. First was the scrambled eggs (they can get dry when sitting if not stirred or accessed but edible & free), sausage links, bagels, juices, & waffles. Next day the links were replaced with sausage gravy & biscuits (gravy didn?t taste floury-bonus).\r
If arriving past 12am, there's a Taco Bell a couple miles down the road open til 4am. Otherwise, there are some great food options a short drive or Uber ride in the downtown area. A $7 Uber ride got us to Fiddler's Hearth, where we enjoyed some excellent fish & chips!\r
Room had a mini fridge & microwave. Check the fridge setting if you plan to use it to ensure things don?t get frozen. We love this feature when driving to keep snacks/drinks cool without ice. Room was clean & quiet until our next morning, with a couple fighting next door. Staff offered to move us immediately when we reported this.\r
I'd definitely recommend this hotel for price & proximity to downtown South Bend or the regional airport/southshore line. Friendly staff, cozy bed, clean room, & a free breakfast included with stay. They also have one of the most reasonable pet fees I've seen at $20 extra per night & no crazy deposit or fee on top of it like many hotels will do. Would stay again when visiting family in the area.
