Top Elkhart Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Elkhart North by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean nice staff"

Staybridge Suites Elkhart North by IHG

8/10 Good

"Everyone was friendly. The room was great with a kitchenette and plenty of space for the same price or less than at most places. There was also a nice patio with a small basketball court (maybe a half-court) and I think a putting green out back. Really seemed nice even though we didn't have time to use it. On some evenings they seem to have free food as part of a social hour, to encourage travelers to meet each other. I like this idea. Too bad we weren't there on one of those nights. On the down side: There was a little mold along the ceiling in the bathroom. Otherwise the room was very clean. and in good condition. Also, there was some confusion about the breakfast. We were told breakfast was until 10. Other people were told the same. But on weekdays it ends at 9:30. So the staff was already cleaning up at 9:40. The staff was really nice and told us to enjoy what was left. They didn't want to take away stuff that was still there, but much was already gone. In spite of these issues, we plan to try StayBridge in the future. It seems like a good chain, and the problems aren't likely to be regular issues."
