We prefer to stay here! We will be back.
Pros:

Clean and convenient.

Cons:

There were a couple of sketchy characters milling around the front and back door. I believe living in their car in the parking lot.

Pros:

Very nice lady who checked us in. And the hotel was convenient to Notre Dame for the concert.

Cons:

A/C was so loud! Bath towels were stained. Most of the channels on the tv wouldn't load, and when they did load the volume didn't always work. Disappointed to only have 2 small flat pillows for 2 grown adults!

Pros:

We were able to check in before 3pm; front desk was efficient and kind.

Cons:

I understood what we were getting ourselves into, but for $320 for one night, I would expect the room to be nicer. The bed was terrible, as were the pillows. It was the bare minimum.

Good location, clean hotel and room!
Pros:

Location was easy to find, close to Notre Dame(10 min drive). But we used Tim’s Shuttle Bus to avoid parking.
