The hotel is nestled in a lovely residential neighborhood of South Bend, surrounded by fine stately homes and beautifully cared gardens to wander about, offering a serene atmosphere. The dining experience at the fancy restaurant provided one of the best dining experiences ever, although the energy bars were a bit lacking. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable, featuring a giant comfy bed, soft linens, soothing piano music during breakfast, and a charming balcony. However, the price might be slightly high, and the facilities were average.
