Ivy Court Inn and Suites

Great location. Quiet and comfortable for the night. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. Love the outdoor patio space to sit out with our coffee in the morning. The character of the building and the beautiful landscaping is quite charming. Felt more cozy and intimate than your conventional hotel.

It would be nice to have a couple lounge chairs in the hotel room. There was just an office chair which was useful, but there seemed to be plenty of room to create a sitting area, too. The breakfast was great…tho it’d be nice to have more vegetarian/vegan options. Like a vegan burrito or fresh cut fruit bowls.

Ivy Court Inn is ideal if you want to visit the University of Notre Dame. The campus is just across the street and you can thus easily access ND facilities. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a nicely sized bathroom, a coffeemaker and a fridge. The receptionists are very friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was nice as well, with cereal, toast, bagels, fresh fruit, and other choices.

For Europeans, it is important to note that you need a car to get anywhere other than the University of Notre Dame. There are no attractive dining options within a reasonable walking distance other than ND restaurants.

Location was good. Right at the southeast corner of Notre Dame. We were able to walk across the street to campus. Ivy Court gave us a campus map which enabled us to check out the notable features of university. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The attendant even made me some fresh scrambled eggs. I don't drink coffee, so I appreciate it when they have a nice selections of teas. Bed and pillows were comfy and the towels were nice and plush and there were enough of them.

The temperature was a little wonky in our room overnight, but it might have been we weren't setting the controls correctly.

The chocolate chip cookies. The black out curtains in room 309. Should have these installed in all rooms facing the courtyard. Very intimate and personal.

We had room 205 for out first stay and the court yard lights kept me awake all night. I highly suggest black out curtains for the rooms facing the court yard.

Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Good breakfast on offer with plenty of choice. Very pleasant staff - Reception, Restaurant and Housekeeping. Good sized bedroom with microwave, fridge and sink. Comfortable beds. Great location for visiting the University of Notre Dame. Within walking distance of Eddie Street where there are many dining options - particularly O'Rourkes Irish pub with great food, drink and atmosphere.

The breakfast buffet offered many items but the hot food was homemade and exceptionally good! Had a nice two night stay. The inn location just off the Notre Dame campus is great and travel into South Bend and Mishawaka is easy from there. My room was very clean and comfortable. All the staff I spoke with were friendly, helpful and professional. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was spacious and contained a microwave and small refrigerator. The breakfast was hot and there were fried eggs as well as scrambled. Be careful with the house made hot sauces--they really are hot!

Our room had an adjoining door to the next room. There were 6-8 people in the next room with a child who was loud. They played Indian music and Indian TV the adjoining door caused our room not to be as sound dampening as it would have been if there were no door to the next room. It was the bad luck of the draw, nothing really that the hotel could have done about it.

The location was excellent. we were close to many places to eat and right down the street was a Trader Joe’s. The property was updating their breakfast area and they shifted it to the lower level. It was really wonderful with two hot dishes as well as a waffle bar.

The bathroom needed updating.

Easy to find. Each hostess was nice. The rooms were clean when we checked in. Very comfortable king sized bed in suite. Excellent location. Free wifi. They serve a recognizably simple American breakfast.

Pandemic has changed how you provide housekeeping so customers have to request it when checking in. I wasn't made aware of this until after the time to request it had past. Since the host or hostess sometimes gets a swarm of customers at random check-in times, it might behoove you to simply post a little sign/note either at the desk or on the check-in receipt indicating housekeeping must be requested for receipt. Water in sinks took almost 10 minutes to get hot to wash my hands. There's a wicked crack in the ramp from the parking lot on the back of the second building. It makes for a hazardous trip when loading and unloading luggage with the luggage cart. Finally, a little more options for breakfast would go a long way.

Everything besides breakfast but it wasn't worse than other places. We are just picky - good healthy food matter to us! The staff was helpful and nice. My favorite place to stay in South Bend!

The TV was zoomed in and could not be fixed. The Champions league final was on that weekend! Likely we had another TV. Breakfast could be improved.
