About this place The Inn at Saint Mary's

The Inn at Saint Mary's is a redbrick hotel on State Highway 933 at the edge of the Saint Mary's College campus, just north of the University of Notre Dame. It is a mainstream hotel that is friendly to gay guests, not a gay venue. On site there is a restaurant, a lounge, and bikes guests can borrow. Most guests come for something at Notre Dame or Saint Mary's: campus visits, graduations, conferences and especially home football weekends. On those weekends, rates jump and rooms sell out early. On other dates it is an easy, quiet base, with downtown South Bend a short drive south.

Enjoyed our stay at the Inn at St Mary’s. Very clean and comfortable. The front desk employees (Ashley)were most helpful and accommodating and the cleaning staff especially Maury was so friendly and helpful. A friendly hello and have a good day when you saw her. Even though it was under renovation it was well managed. I would definitely recommend staying here. The shuttle was a plus and drivers accommodating.

Despite its distance, the hotel offers a free shuttle service within a 16km radius.

I was initially unhappy when I arrived. We were informed the majority of renovations were complete, if that is true there was a lot more being worked on... However during our stay the staff was amazing, the rooms were very nice (pretty sure these were the completed renovations), and the location was perfect. We look forward to coming back when renovations are complete.

Currently under construction but it’s really nice. Rooms have been nicely redo with lots of Notre Dame features. Looks very well done. Rooms were clean and the beds were comfy. I am really impressed with the gym. It’s not every day you see a hotel with such a nice fitness center. Looks like all Farley new LifeFitness machines. Treadmills, Elliptical, dumbbells, some machines, cables, and a few other things. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I would 100% stay here again.

The place is being remodeled as I type this and it’s for the better! Has a really cool Notre Dame theme if you’re into that sort of thing and I am! The new rooms are amazing! The mattress is top notch! Yes they are remodeling so it’s inconvenient for now but when it’s done it will be worth it. The breakfast was average though but it’s included with the room. We stayed in a king suite for reference. Go Irish!
