Four Winds Casino South Bend

5/5 Excellent

Wonderful surprise

"We had to be close by for business and stayed here because of the high ratings. We were pleasantly surprised. This is a beautiful and clean property. We ate at Timbers once and the food was very good. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot, water pressure good. Elevators were fast."

Larkspur Landing South Bend

5/5 Excellent

"Nice hotel. Easy to get to, check in was quick and easy. Room was spacious and clean. There was a robotics tournament nearby as well as a lacrosse tournament, so a lot of younger guests. Got a bit loud at times. Not the hotel’s fault in any way, just timing. Overall, great experience. "
