"Parking was easy, all outside doors (except front entrance) needed room keys to enter, which we liked! Breakfast was great! Our room didn't have a microwave but the common areas have some which we could use so that was not a problem for us. Very interesting decor and furniture which made me want to explore 😊 We didn't use the pool but we did go look at it. They had a game room which looked fun, a small exercise room, plus a hot tub. Shops weren't open because it was Sunday, but we didn't plan to shop anyway😁 For sure recommend!! "

"Placed in a room with double beds instead of the queen beds that we reserved and paid for before we arrived. When we arrived, I inquired about a room upgrade, but I guess it was ironic that they actually downgraded us instead! ... many lights and the fridge as well as coffee maker in the room didn't work. The staff were busy, but friendly and came as quickly as they could to check on the electrical issues. My husband replaced a bulb that they gave us for the room since it was missing. We also noticed that there may have been either a lipstick or fingernail polish party gone bad in room 301 as there were many extra colorful reddish pink markings around the room. Hot tub was the same tempetature as the pool. One staff told us that it would take several hours and we were under the impression that the pool closed within the hour of them restarting the heating of it. However, my husband said that guests were actually in the pool area around 1am when he went down to the lobby, so they must have allowed them to stay later since the heating issues... or maybe they don't adhere to the 8a-10p pool hours posted. We weren't sure, but they were nice and weren't sticklers about the pool hours or anything.It seemed that as long as there wasn't a problem, they made exceptions. Elkhart PD visited over protective order... our daughter had a great birthday... we weren't allowed any amount of late checkout... You get what you pay for and this was adequate for what we wanted for our stay!"

"We love the Varsity Club in South Bend. It's always a great room and the staff is always great as well."

"Epitome of hotels."

"Rude and demeaning staff."

"Staff was extremely friendly!! "

"Could not see the bottom of the pool it was so dirty "

"Business trip- they charge 14.00 for breakfast if you want to “walk in” or you get coupons per day. My room smelled so moldy the whole stay! My view was dirty snow on a roof. The elevator was out the day I left- I had to take the stairs with several bags as I’ve been gone all week for work. Breakfast was the exact same thing daily- you’d think that would change… it didn’t for 4 days. I’m often in the area and have stayed at a lot of holiday inns in the area - this one ranks as one of the lower ones, the breakfast lady was the nicest person in the hotel. The maids wore ear buds so it took several minutes to get the attention to ask for a coffee pod. "

"We were assured there was a hot tub, especially because that is the reason we booked there. However, when we get there, we are told it is under maintenance. And the pool was freezing cold!"
