Candlewood Suites South Bend Airport

Elevators were out of order, pillow cases were dirty, and for some reason, the power went off in the hotel and its parking lot from 4 am to 7:30 am. The power was out nowhere else. This was an unsafe, unclean, and unpleasant hotel stay. I doubt very much we will stay at a Candlewood again.

Whenever I’m in South Bend I stay at candlewood, it’s close to my moms. It’s always clean, the employees are always friendly.

I visit my mom in south bend once a month and I stay here every time because I know it’s clean and the employees are helpful and friendly.

This hotel is old and dirty and chargers you extra fees after the fact. When we checked in, we asked for a rollaway and one was brought to our room with NO MENTION OF AN EXTEA FEE but what do you think showed up on my credit card statement. Coffee pot didn’t even match the coffee machine. AC and heat are pushed into the bedroom via a VERY loud fan. AVOID THESE SCAMMERS AT ALL COSTS!!!

I found this Hotel on my IHG app while looking for Hotels in the area. I was in the South Bend area for business and looking for a Hotel close to New Carlyle. The price for a one night was what closed the deal. This is a budget-friendly hotel with large spacious clean rooms. There is no 'breakfast' at the hotel but they have vending machines and many restaurants close by. I found a nice sized kitchen area, a large desk/work area, a large comfy queen bed, and a large bathroom inside my room. Overall my stay was good, but the rooms could use a touch of modernization. The rooms lack USB ports but they have electrical outlets around the room, so I was able to charge most of my devices. The Wifi connection was strong and I was able to connect through a firewall to my company server to check emails and update my CRM. I did find streaming was okay as well as I went online for Netflix and Amazon Prime and have no buffering issues. I would have given this property 4 stars but cleanliness was an issue. I found dirty smudges on the entrance door, cup ring stains on the nightstand by the bed and hair in the drain in my shower (yech!!). Aside from that, the bathroom was large and relatively clean with plenty of towels and full shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the shower. The Fitness room had enough equipment for a basic workout. It had cardio machines and free weights as well as some other accessories. I got in a good 45-minute workout with weights and the cardio machine and also did some stretching (ROMWOD) on the only supplied exercise mat. Would I stay here again...yes, as the price is right but cleanliness needs to be improved and I would like to see a touch of modernization with USB and maybe USB-C ports in the work area and the nightstands.

Convenient location for visiting Notre dame university. Room clean, big and adequate. Did not like the stronge smell of chlorine in lobby area from laundry. Thought price of room expensive considering they only clean rooms once a week (did not know this without asking).

Cleanliness was a disappointment; it was surface clean only except the toilet and bath tub. A white towel wipe revealed visible dirt. I have stayed here before and didn't have this issue.

Great stay and nice people running it!

Well above average vs. the typical Candlewood Suites. Seems like a recent build. Great deal for the price. Comfy bed. VERY clean. Pets allowed for very fair pet fee. Full size fridge, stovetop, etc. just a great deal for sure. Gonna make this my new go-to stop on my trips on I-80!
