What guests think

Aloft South Bend draws praise for friendly service, modern clean rooms, and a walkable downtown location, while recurring complaints note confusing or costly parking, intermittent elevator and pool problems, noise from streets or venues, and inconsistent bar hours or communication.

A minority of reviews cite housekeeping or maintenance problems such as smoke odors, leaks, or broken fixtures. Rooms provide comfortable beds and some standout views, but several guests mention small layouts, sliding bathroom doors that don't fully close, troublesome temperature or water mixing, and occasional noise. Overall, expect a contemporary, lively stay with good comfort, but be prepared for occasional inconsistencies.

Awful. Came here for New Year’s Eve to take my kids swimming. The pool room was colder than it is outside (less than 30 degrees) we called downstairs and they said maintenance is working on it. We came down to the pool again this morning and it’s even colder. Not to mention there’s a nasty film in the pool that looks like toilet paper. The entire 8th floor smelled like smoke. The cops were up here twice knocking on doors because people were smoking on this floor. This trip ruined our New Year’s Eve as a family. There was no manager on duty to help us. Do not recommend staying here. Especially considering no one did anything at all when we asked for assistance with the pool or to move away from the smoke with my 3 children.

Hotel is nice. The parking garage within the hotel is not operational. You have to park across the street in a city owned garage, $10 p/ 24 hrs. The area is not ideal. The room was great though.

Parking was awful, especially when we were charged $25/day! Spots were not available on designated floors and too small even for our modest rental. My 87 year old mother was forced to walk farther than expected as a result. Also, two mornings in a row, coffee was empty. Our floor was filled with rambunctious hockey teams running around slamming doors.

The staff is amazing. Hip, trendy hotel in downtown within a very short walk to several restaurants but the onsite restaurant was great too. The property had a great vibe with live music in the evening. And fun family game area adjacent to the lobby (jenga, connect 4, etc) along with a pool table. The swimming pool was big by hotel standards and clean. The worst part of the stay was our experience with Expedia*** our advice is to book direct with the hotel. Expedia charged us an additional guest fee for our two kids. The hotel could not figure out why they would have done that. Aloft said the room we had was priced for up to 4 people so the additional guest fee is something Expedia imposed. Expedia would not refund the fee. Book direct and enjoy your stay!

The actual hotel is fine...but out of 3 elevators only one was working for 4 days we were there...there were hockey tournament guests staying there so it was busy...waiting for the elevator was a nightmare. I guess you were expected to climb 17 flights of stairs or wait 30 mins for the elevator.

Rooms were clean. The property allows dogs and there was dog poop on one of the lounge couches. We saw it and they immediately cleaned it up. Some women were allegedly staying at the hotel having a "pj" party and came outside to the front seating area in their underwear. Made us wonder if they were actually soliciting on the premises. Area was a little sketchy. Bartendar was very good and super friendly.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff was friendly. The only thing is that the toilet and shower are separated by a sliding door that does not close all the way, theres no way to lock it. So if you are sharing a room with friends, you can see inside the toilet/shower room. Also the shower sliding door is obviously glass, im not sure what happened but the shower door unhooked while i was mid shower. Thankfully my husband was with me to hold the door while I got dressed and went to seek help from the hotel staff before the door somehow shattered. Not a very toddler friendly hotel but we made it work. Walls were very thin or the doors are loud (slam when they close on their own) because we heard everyone else coming in and out of their rooms all night long.

So this is a tough review. We stayed at this hotel for a wedding. It started out with us in a really nice big executive suite, but the air conditioner was broken (it was summer) so they “upgraded” us to a smaller room with two Queen beds. Whatever, things happens. The bathroom door didn’t slide fully closed so you could hear EVERYTHING going on in the bathroom. The water temperature from the shower and sink was only hot or burning hot. We didn’t get any turn down service so I went down and asked and it turned out you had to specifically asked for your room to be cleaned (which wasn’t explained at check in). The room looked nice which was appreciated and the bar in the lobby was great. Otherwise, so so.

We booked a King bed however were told they only had queens available, the parking price had increased from what was listed on their website, and although we also paid extra for breakfast she couldn't find it in the system although ultimately she "comped" it for us. Super snotty during this whole process as well.
