Pros: Great central location in South Bend.
- Easy to get to with good parking.
- Very pretty home with unique antiques.
- Large third floor to accommodate families.
Cons: uneven heating (very hot downstairs but cold on third floor).
- Odd arrangement of shower/bath but folding screens were available to use for privacy.
- No room key available to look the room when you leave - only locked from the inside.
- The daybed that one of my children slept on only had blankets & a fitted sheet, no top sheet.
- The weekday "continental breakfast" was very disappointing. Partially full or nearly empty cereal containers, plain bagels, hard-boiled eggs, two individual containers of yogurt, two packaged fruit bars, an undercooked coffee cake, and lots of juice boxes. We ended up buying our own breakfast at a grocery store. As another reviewer said, we've had better continental breakfasts at a hotel for much cheaper.
Overall the house is pretty & the location is great. I can't speak to the weekend breakfasts so that might be great too. It's the attention to detail that really killed this deal for us. Having sufficient breakfast food available for a family of 5 is what the expectation was. Full cereal containers, more yogurt, more fruit bars, and cream cheese for the bagels would have been a bare minimum. Even store-bought pastries or donuts set out on a nice plate would have elevated the continental breakfast on par with or slightly above a Best Western.
Looking at the other reviews, a weekend stay might be great. Try it out. However I would recommend against a weekday stay. Save your money & stay at a hotel.
