Stay elsewhere!

Currently in the process of renovations, but seems like they're a decade too late. The lobby/atrium was hot and humid (had temporary cooling), tub was nasty, bar/restaurant was closed a few days. Also got charged 3 times on 2 different cards (the desk staff "couldn't get the card to work" the first time. Still charged me though). They got one of those canceled, but it's been 10 days now and i still have a pending charge on my debit card, so the bank is still holding that money. If you're going to South Bend, do yourself a favor and stay at the Courtyard by Marriott or the Aloft, both are within a couple blocks.

There were a LOT of noisy guests staying. Playing loud music and talking loud late into the night. Also the A/C was not working well outside of the rooms which made the weight room extremely hot. I don’t feel like my room got properly cleaned after the first night they just pulled the trash, left extra trash bags draped over the trash cans and dropped off a stack of towels. My bed wasn’t made it all felt lackluster. For the money, I would stay at another hotel. It’s not what I expected from a DoubleTree

I enjoyed the proximity to the downtown area. This property is currently under construction and the hotel should have been more up front with how limited the amenities were. There were no working ice machines, constant noise on the floor and the floors were super hot. They should at least be offering a discounter rate for all of the inconveniences.

Very upsetting on my wedding day. Why use a room and floor with no air. When standing in the hall waiting on elevator it was so hot it ruined my hair, felt like i was going to pass out from the heat. I had 5 rooms total. Very disappointed.

When we arrived at the hotel, we had high hopes. It's conveniently located in the heart of downtown South Bend, which made it an ideal choice for our stay. We were aware of the ongoing interior construction, so we came in with realistic expectations. Upon check-in, we were informed that the hotel was over capacity for king bed rooms. The front desk kindly offered us a room with two queen beds instead and, in return, waived our parking fee and provided two complimentary breakfast vouchers. We appreciated their effort to accommodate us and were told we'd be staying in one of the newly renovated rooms. When we got to the 9th floor, it was extremely warm—almost no airflow in the hallway. As we walked toward our room, we noticed a strong odor of mildew and sewage, which was unpleasant but we remained hopeful that our room would be better. Unfortunately, the same odor was present in the room. While the air conditioning worked, it wasn’t as effective as we had hoped. Additionally, the TV had technical issues—it would frequently freeze or fail to respond, requiring us to turn it off or change the channel manually. Overall, the room served its basic purpose as a place to sleep, but given the conditions, we likely wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Never again.

Over booked king size rooms so we did two double bed rooms. First room they checked us into was leaking through the ceiling. Second room was just unclean. Stains on the walls. Just gross. Wedding in the atrium and the AC was broken. Pool ceiling was leaking into the pool. Hallways were an inferno. We checked out today (Sunday) and they were doing renovations at 8am in the morning. I’ll never stay here again. Just completely unacceptable.

Hot lobby and restaurant area. I guess the air conditioning wasn’t working. It did work in the room. TV didn’t work and there was only one large towel for 3 adults. We called and they moved us to a nicer room with all essentials. Employees were nice. But the hotel is very outdated.
