Fairfield Inn & Suites South Bend at Notre Dame

Hotel was nicely acquainted. Only problem we encountered was getting the handicap bathroom but it worked fine just needed extra towels, which the facility provided. Rooms were clean, fitness area was nice. Pool wasn’t operational when we were there. A hot tub would be a nice addition.

The hotel is in a great location! It is close to the University of Notre Dame-we easily walked to the campus.

I hardly ever write reviews, but I wish I had been warned how difficult an experience this would be. We rented a suite with 2 queen beds and a sofa bed for 2 nights, but were only given 1 towel and 1/4 roll of toilet paper. When I called to ask for more I was told to come down to the front desk to get more. However actually finding someone at the front desk to help was frustrating and proved impossible. The 3 different times we went down to find more towels and toilet paper, the “away from desk” sign was displayed and we could not find an employee to help. I ended up tracking down a cleaning cart and getting them myself. Additionally, when the sofa bed was set up, it extended into the furniture opposite it making it impossible to access the bathroom without climbing onto the bed. For a room that cost almost $800 for 2 nights, these oversights and lack of attentiveness seem very unfair. The bright spot was the convenient location and the breakfast attendant who was very kind and went out of his way to help me. Overall this seemed like an understaffed facility with poor space planning that survives due to its excellent location.

Great location, watch for parking charges Great close location to Notre Dame, however was surprised to learn of the overnight parking charge AFTER checking out. New hotel, very nice, etc.
