Doubletree Hotel South Bend
"The breakfast was awful and wasn't worth the cost. The carpets in the hallways and the elevator needed vacuuming. The room floors were dirty, as was the toilet, and the double beds were full-size, making it uncomfortable for two people to sleep in them. It was an unpleasant stay."
