Four Winds Casino South Bend

10/10 Excellent

"First time spending the night. We had a junior sweet that was amazing. Look forward to returning again soon."

Courtyard by Marriott South Bend Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was great! We had a king room and it was comfortable,great design features and spacious. Climate controlled and comfy! Parking was not an issue because it was the weekend and we could park in the two hour only spaces overnight- otherwise you probably need to valet for 25.00 a day. Not a big issue but just know that when you are booking. There is a Starbucks and some convenience type food options. No real dining options onsite. Again, not really an issue if you plan accordingly. Great stay! Quiet, friendly, clean and all around great place to stay in South Bend. "
