THE INN AT SAINT MARY'S, South Bend

The Inn at Saint Mary's is situated on the picturesque campus of Saint Mary's College, directly across the street from the University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame Stadium is 4 km away, and a free shuttle to campus is available during football weekends. The South Bend Regional Airport is 10 km away, with a complimentary shuttle service (5am-11pm, by reservation). The hotel offers free bike rentals to explore the surrounding campuses and bike trails. While the immediate area has limited walkable dining and shopping, the shuttle can take you within a 16 km radius, including Heritage Square and University Park Mall. The hotel's location off the interstate makes it convenient for road trips, but a car is practical for exploring wider South Bend.

Accommodation options include the Premier King Suite with a glass-enclosed shower and Aveda toiletries, the Premier Double with two double beds, the Premier Luxury Suite with a separate bedroom and dining table, and the Notre Dame-themed suite with a king bed and twin bunk beds. The Premier Accessible room features a roll-in shower and ADA-compliant fixtures. All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a tea and coffee maker, a wardrobe, and a sofa. Some suites have pull-out sofas, refrigerators, and two flat-screen TVs. Rooms are decorated in neutral tones; some older rooms may show wear or have a musty smell. Request a newly renovated room if available. Rooms face the parking lot; no views or balconies. Traffic noise may be audible in front-facing rooms.

Breakfast is a hot buffet served on real dishes, including scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, pancakes, fresh fruit, cereals, and waffles. The breakfast area can get crowded during peak times. Bistro 933 is an American restaurant next door, open for dinner from 5pm to 10pm daily; it offers room service during those hours. The lobby features a Starbucks coffee shop (limited hours) and a bar serving cocktails and wine. The bar's availability can vary. For football weekends, expect higher demand for breakfast and dining.
