Irish Lodge South Bend

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean, friendly staff"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites South Bend by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff were super friendly. Unfortunately, stuff was broken down - the elevator, the elliptical in the fitness center (the only piece of equipment I wanted to use) and the fitness center’s bathroom was out of order. This seems kind of par for the course with the hotels in South Bend. But the location was really good."
