Fairfield by Marriott Hotels in South Bend

The room is large, clean, the bed is soft, the condition is OK, the breakfast is quite comfortable, it is a hotel relatively close to the University of Notre Dame nearby, and it takes less than 20 minutes to walk through the grove to the school.

During my stays at aloft South Bend on Main Street this month I interacted with many different staff members and all of them were friendly, happy, eager to help, and they answered any questions I had . One staff member named Kelsey went above and beyond in helping me. I also enjoyed the breakfast and dinner options here, the comedy show was enjoyable too. The hotel was well managed, clean, and organized. I will continue to stay at aloft because of my great experience here.

I was attending a conference at the Century Center, which is connected to the hotel. I had been here before and knew to pull in to the underground parking garage off of N Michigan Street behind the hotel. Ceiling clearance was crazy low! Watch out if you have a large vehicle or have a convertible (like me - oops getting the top down!!). Parking spaces are very very narrow and things are hard to maneuver in general. Upon arrival, the front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. Checkin was speedy and they explained parking right away. I found the hotel to be a little beat up. Paint scuffs on the walls, elevator buttons missing, curtains torn, and some fitness equipment not working. Needs some love. Oh, and there’s tons of advertisements and advance emails about hot cookies 🍪, but they must’ve been hiding because I never saw them and they were never mentioned once we arrived. Hmmmm… However, the room was clean and very comfy. Had some problems with the AC, but found if I set it as low as it would go (60), it stayed around 67 at night. Vending/ice was on every floor by the elevators, so super convenient! The room fridge ran extra cold - some of my things froze. Great desk space and WiFi. Navigating from the hotel to the conference facility via the skywalk was sketchy. Getting to and across the skywalk was no problem. But once you enter the Century Center, there is no clear signage to figure out where you’re going. The fitness center looked great! But there is no AC and the fans they had were broken. It was stifling in there, even for just treadmill walking. Some of the equipment was out of order, but not marked as such. Ugh. Anyway, a couple of tips: 1) I recommend getting a river view room. Rooms that overlook the atrium are noisy. 2) Avoid the 2nd floor - it’s where the skywalk is located and the hallway can be noisy. 3) Check to make sure your AC is working properly before unpacking. 4) If conferencing, be sure to figure out how to navigate the skywalk and the Century Center ahead of time. 5) If you plan to use the fitness center, bring a water bottle, towel, hand sanitizer, and plan to sweat!

Me and several friends booked a couple suites at Ivy Court for the Marshall vs Notre Dame football game. Everyone that works there were extremely helpful and courteous. Jessica, Annica and Timmyka each went out their way to make our stay fun and memorable. Since all of us were traveling from out of town, we purchased the tailgate package also which was well worth it. We didn't have to pack up our own tent, chairs, etc. and the staff at Ivy Court set it all up and tore it all down. We just had to show up and tailgate. The breakfast is made fresh right in the kitchen next to the buffet. While we were there it had scrambled and fried eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, burritos, hot & cold cereal with break and muffins. It was a great set-up. Finally, you can't get much closer to the stadium and the walk over was 5-10 minutes. The location can't be beat either. Overall, it was a terrific stay at Ivy Court and in South Bend for the weekend.

It takes about 20min to walk from Notre Dame. Walk to eddy street for about 5min. The window looks out to Notre Dame. The surrounding environment is very quiet and suitable for a transition night.

After Being left in a bind by a rental car company (Hertz) declining to deliver on my car I supposedly had reservation for, I got to spend several hours late at night at the S.B. Airport! With no solutions in sight, and Uber not responding, I started calling nearby hotels that were in walking distance or would come and pick me up at 10:30 PM on a weeknight! Although I was a little apprehensive at first, this hotel not only sent a van, they PICKED UP A PIZZA for me from across the street when Dominos had no Delivery people available, and would not allow me to come inside to pick it up! (They said they WOULD be willing to leave it at the back door for pickup) (They were closing due to no delivery drivers) The Manager of the Hotel went above and beyond to help me out, gave me a discounted rate for a two day stay (long story), and made my stay as enjoyable as possible!
