Aloft South Bend
The survey says the breakfast was free, however, the desk clerk did not say so upon check in. So we went down the street to a cafe.

Courtyard by Marriott South Bend Downtown
It was easy to navigate. Was on the pricier side due to the ND game. Would return. Only suggestion is change the bathrooms. The one glass door concept isn’t pleasing and tends to flood the bathroom. Also the rusty soap tray wasn’t necessary in the shower.
