Positives include comfortable beds, pet friendly policies, and a game‑day shuttle to Notre Dame. Common drawbacks involve dated rooms with maintenance issues and inconsistent housekeeping standards. Some reviews mention security incidents such as vehicle break‑ins and a worn or malfunctioning elevator. Overall, expect a basic stay with convenient access but uneven quality and amenities.

Rooms were clean, Breakfast was good, They have a Shuttle that takes you to and from the Notre Dame Games, which I thought was wonderful, I didn't know that till the day of the game, We'll definatly stay here again when we come back for another Notre Dame game and take the shuttle next time. They're are plenty of shops near by too!

Pool area was closed by the health department for bacteria. We could hear every time someone left their room (all night long). We could connect to the WI-FI but had no internet. Couldn't connect phones or other devices to the TV. TV was mounted crooked on the wall. And it still seems odd to me that the elevator has a steel door in front of it.

Yes room was clean had a great stay. Breakfast was great also different varieties and options. Morning staff very nice only problem I had was my first night I was lied to. About the pool hours that it closed at 5:30pm but it really close at 10pm. so I didn’t get to enjoy the pool on both night. And on your website it shows jacuzzi one of the main reasons I booked there, to enjoy that relax. But y’all no longer have it but I still enjoy the pool the 2nd night. Other than them too problems everything else was great. Thank you

Disappointed that the pool and hot tub were down for service and there was no notification online indicating that and the situation had not just occurred as was evident by the empty dry tub with tape across it. I had moved my reservation to this location from across the street when their pool went down and they alerted me to that change. The desk person at check in didn't seem to understand my question about the pool and hot tub situation. They also didn't update their online information for future travelers. I won't return to this location.

If you’re just looking for a cheap place to stay that is pretty clean. This is the place for you. The facility looks either very old or they have not made any updates. Breakfast is only until 9am so keep that in mind. The elevator sounded like it had not been serviced in a long time. It was loud and shaky. I probably won’t stay here again until they make some updates.

The place is disgustingly filthy. I killed a cockroach within the first hour. The pool has a dirty, brown stain, where the water line meets the wall. The pool wall was white below the water line and brown as dirt 4 to 6 inches high from the line. The bathrooms appeared clean, but under the counter and sink was a layer of grime and dirt which must have taken months to accumulate.

I've never had a hotel experience quite like this one. This property looks really average on the outside, and the clientele is on the sketchy side. But don't judge a book by its cover...this place is unbelievably clean and well maintained. My room was immaculate. The bedding and towels were well worn, but absolutely spotless. It smelled good and felt fresh. It's been years since I walked down the hall at a hotel and didn't smell weed. It doesn't bother me. They all smell like that now. But this hotel is so damn fresh and clean that I'm pretty sure people are just scared to bring weed in. They go sit in their cars. I'm dead serious. No joke...it's crazy how clean this place is. I was blown away.

Sheets were clean but with residual “stains”. Front desk did not answer phone. Curtains are designed not to close so besides privacy, exterior flood lights prevent darkened room. Carpet is tacky and room has a smell. That may be why AC set to 66. OTH, staff is nice. If this is “Plus”, not sure what base accommodations are.

We chose this site because we stayed in a really nice Best Western Plus the night before. But the 2 places were totally different. There were small spots on the carpet and it had not been fully vacuumed. Areas behind furniture looked like they had not been cleaned in months. There was dust on the lamp and clock. Furniture was old with a rip in the chair and wood stripping was torn off the bureau. We could hear people in the room above stomping. Cups and pods were set out for a Keurig, but the piece that holds the pod was torn off. The hotel we stayed in the night before had better breakfast options and was cleaner.

Was provided a bath mat x3 instead of washcloths when asked at the front desk. Found several dead stink bugs in the room. Lights in bathroom not fully functional.

The elevator had sticky floor and it was dirty. The toilet was not working and one drawer from the TV table did not close. I had to change room, and the other room the drawer didn't close either. Since we changed rooms they didn't registered it, so they came and open my room while we where there, thinking it was emply. And the last two days they didn't clean the room. Did not like it, despite the good location. I will never stay there.

Our room smelled terrible when we arrived. Staff seemed inconvenienced when we asked to change rooms. They did switch us to a different room the next day, but we had to wait for the manager. Manager seemed annoyed. New room smelled but not nearly as bad as the first one. The windows did not stay open at all, not Even a little. The air conditioning barely seemed to work in either room, found bugs in the first room. Would not even offer a discount for the first night - I get it was a concert weekend so they raised the room rates, but this was aweful I should have believed all the negative reviews- this doesn’t deserve A rating of 7, more like a 2. Will never stay here again and will be reporting this place to corporate and disputing with my credit card!
