Homewood Suites by Hilton South Bend Notre Dame Area

This was a very typical Homewood Suites - a bit on the worn side, but still provided everything you'd expect. We were in a two-bedroom suite and there was plenty of room for the three of us. There was the typical breakfast and the usual items were available. It's not the greatest location. Yes, it's South Bend, but it's right off the interstate and not near campus or the nicer part of the town. No chance to take a walk in the morning.

I loved it

Overall great stay. Only complaint was the water temperature in the shower.

We loved the game room area and breakfast selection. Rooms could have been cleaner there was hair around the toilet and in the bath tub. Other than that staff was amazing and super accommodating.

The staff at this property were exceptional. The front desk team was beyond accommodating and were some of the best I have seen. They made our stay terrific!

Quite

I'd actually gives this hotel a 4.8 out of 5 stars: details provided below. Everything about our stay was super great, except the bed was not as comfortable as it should have been. A bit lumpy and sloped to the sides: generic brand mattress, so that was a disappointment. The 4 biggest things I look for when booking a hotel room, (especially for multiple nights after my late night work as a out-of-town DJ), is the room must be immaculately clean, quiet, no bugs (over the years, bed bugs are heard to be a problem from some hotels these days, based on hotel reviews from other brand chains), and a comfortable non-lumpy mattress. Our hotel room was very clean, very fresh, well-kept and very quiet. As an added plus, to my surprise, all the towels were very soft (not scratchy and hard like most hotels). Loved that, thank you! I, especially loved the bath tub, (since I do not have one at home), so it really helped to have one in my room, to relax to after a night of DJing outdoors in cold Spring nights. Different styles of pillows are available to your liking, too, again an added plus. Loved the larger than usual fridge, stove, and silverware to be able to cook. The little fridges that most hotels offer are never enough size for me to have, since I bring my own food, and plenty of different drinks (water bottles, milk, juice, etc.). The staff is friendly and very helpful, as well. Thanks for a great stay! I recommend this hotel, no problem.

Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. We had a bathroom and air conditioning concern upon check out we brought it to the front desk clerk!
