Football Weekend Best Stay!

Liked: The breakfast was superb, I love having fresh fruit for breakfast, and the Inn at St. Mary's had a fresh fruit salad of melon, pineapple and grapes. My favorite! The other choices were great as well, potatoes, eggs, sausage and bacon, pancakes and waffles, pastries, oatmeal, and more! My room was comfortable and updated. Very clean. We went for the Notre Dame game vs. USC - took the free shuttle to Notre Dame, and were able to walk back after (traffic). So that was very convenient.
Disliked: The front desk misplaced our football tickets, but they found them by the next morning. They were diligent about solving the problem though, so overall it was OK.

Mediocre. I would not stay...

Liked: Location was excellent.
Disliked: The breakfast was average. The price was greatly increased due to the Notre Dame football weekend. It was not worth the extravagant increase over the normal room rate. The hotel promotes shuttle service to and from the airport but on Notre Dame football weekends they do not have the shuttle to pick up hotel guests from the airport. That vital information is not in any of their communication material. We called and left phone messages to the phone number for the hotel on the Booking.com email but it turns out that is not the hotel's front desk phone but a hotel manager. We left several messages on the voicemail but never received a return call. The hotel had sent a text message stating that if we needed anything to let them know. I sent a reply back that we needed a shuttle to the hotel ( this was prior to arriving in South Bend ) but never received a response . This was while we were en route to South Bend that morning. We waited at the hotel for the hotel shuttle before we finally called Uber. When we arrived at the hotel we were informed that they only take hotel guests to the airport.The hotel promoted free bicycles but we learned at the hotel that the use of the bicycles came with a lot of restrictions and a onerous liability waiver. The hotel also touted other perks but we never saw those. Terrible experience.
