What guests think

At Courtyard Mishawaka-University Area, guests frequently praise the friendly, attentive front-desk team and generally clean, comfortable rooms, while several note dated spaces and maintenance issues alongside inconsistent housekeeping and toiletries replenishment.

The location is a strong point, close to restaurants, shopping, and Notre Dame, and many found it quiet and safe. On-site bistro and bar exist, but hours can be limited, and there is no complimentary breakfast, which some found disappointing. Rooms vary: some are spacious and include balconies, while others report small TVs, noisy HVAC or fridges, sizing confusion on beds, and occasional Wi‑Fi trouble. Overall, expect a convenient stay in an older property with good basics but uneven upkeep.

We have stayed before but this was not the same experience. There was a large nail standing upright near the shower that looked like it was strategically planted for someone to injure themselves. Our room had not been cleaned - there were clothing tags and other peoples toiletries on the floor. There were no clean toiletries in the bathroom. Cafe staff was late opening and did not seem happy to be working. The elevator felt like a death trap and wasn’t working properly. We checked out early.

The hotel was clean and front desk staff were great! The counter where there was Starbucks, breakfast, and bar the staff was ok. They closed early on every occasion, so some of my group didnt get coffee, or breakfast, and we never got a drink at the bar.

We were told that the hotel had a bistro and a bar with pictures on the website . We decided to book there so we could come back after a long day of Black Friday shopping and Eat our dinner, have a few cocktails and get in out of the cold. When we checked in in between stores we were told that they would let us know if bar would be open. Julie checked us in and she was super nice but her boss was curt and rude when I ask again if it would be open. When we returned at 7 pm and had already checked in at 3pm we found that it would not be open. Very upset and had to go back out for Dinner. I think if we did not get the amenities as promised we should have been discounted our room. It was too late to go somewhere else. Also, no one mentioned where the pool was. Also we should have had one breakfast included with our room Nope was not.

A completely derelict hotel. Motel? A person was getting arrested in the lobby when we walked in, the parking lot was full of empty shopping carts. The faucet in the tub sprayed all over the wall rather than directing the water to the showerhead. The wallpaper was falling off the wall. The tv was from another era. The bedding was livable. Gross.

The property is ok. I think some internal updating would be good to include painting and new hallway carpet. The rooms still have carpet which is not as common anymore. If they decide to keep the carpet it needs to be changed. However, the room was spacious and the furniture was good. The front staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

This is probably the worst Courtyard Marriot that I have been. I was in town for work, checked in around 10pm very tired after a 4 hours flight. Mold in curtain showers, toilet filthy with little poop not flushed, trash cans had no trash bags then the check in clerk over charged me $130 that I had to wait days to be reversed. NEVER again. Manager was to call for the refund, no calls. I’m have pictures of all the nasty that I mentioned

The refrigerator was really noisy during the nighttime hours. Every so often you would hear the motor kick on and off. It was a loud sudden clanking noise which was enough to wake you up and get startled. Also there was no internet connection in my room (226). The room was very clean and welcoming and the staff there were very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here for the first time. The room was huge, which was nice and bed was comfortable. Little things will keep us from staying again. Black mold like substance on ceiling in shower area from previous leak, sliding door to the bathroom had no "handle" so wouldn't close fully, didn't like how we paid ahead of time for breakfast but only got $10 vouchers for overpriced cafe, was never able to connect to wifi.

For just over $100 a night, this hotel was definitely worth it - especially due to the convenience of everything around it. The hotel was somewhat dated, and the refrigerator was very noisy. A few concerns: we were told the room had two queen beds, when in fact they were full beds - this made it uncomfortable for two adults sleeping. And the lack of microwave in the room made it a little inconvenient. The property worked, but with some hiccups - overall, it was good for what we needed.

Overall a decent hotel, but heads up. The "king size" beds are really queen sized, and the "queen sized" beds are full/double. Moved from one room to the other when the "double sized" pull out couch turned out to be a single, so were able to experience all of these

Traveled here with a group of 24 for a competition. We were all on the same floor along with other groups for the same competition. Three adults were discussing grocery plans in the hallway and a rude guest came into the hallway and yelled to go back to our rooms (it was 6pm) and later she yelled at a 4 year old kid to stay away from her dog when he and his mom were walking from one room to another to get ready for bed. The hotel staff was not helpful. They came up and offered to move the grumpy guest but she refused and instead we were told by the staff that if we wanted to discuss plans we had to do it in the courtyards and not in the hallway or anyone’s room. If it wasn’t for this situation, we would have let the awful conditions of the hotel slide, but this is a 1/5 hotel. Plenty of others to choose from in the area. Listen to the other reviews on here.

For starters the front desk attendant did not give us the right amount of breakfast vouchers. When I asked, she couldn't explain why she only gave me enough for one person when there were two of us. Once in the room, the heating unit did not work, there were stains on one pillow case, one pillow case was inside out, stains on the sheets, the bathroom floor was dirty, the sink was clogged, there was FECES on the toilet seat, and to top it off it was a handicap unit so everything was too low. The bar was also not open due to the low number of customers so we were limited to bottled items. Overall a crappy stay and will never book again. Very poorly managed.
