“Great old-fashioned service in a beautiful setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

I arrived at the Morris Inn cold and wet to find the most wonderful hospitality inside. The bellman came out to meet me, took my bags and made me feel so welcome that it was very touching after my difficult day. The breakfasts were excellent and the room was lovely. I am very grateful that the hotel reception allowed me a very late check out time in order to catch a very late train out of South Bend - I'm sure they can't always do it but they did it for me and it is service like this, above and beyond the call of duty, that makes a place stand out. Thank you to the Morris Inn for your hospitality and helpfulness.

“Still the best for a Notre Dame visit.”

This was my second visit to the hotel. Still a great choice if you are visiting Notre Dame. The breakfast is also one of the best all inclusive I have had for the price.

“Convenient, Clean Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

My wife and I stayed here July 22nd through 24th for our son's lacrosse tournament. The location of the hotel was extremely convenient and was within walking distance to all areas of the campus. The building is old, but was very clean. The room was somewhat on the small side, but had a large closet area between the room and bathroom. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in for a hotel. The room also had a large flat screen tv mounted on the wall in front of the bed, as well as it's own cable box. It was nice to be able to have a channel guide and all of the options a normal cable box gives you, not like the limited cable in most hotels. The staff was very friendly and both restaurants on site were very good. We were given complimentary restaurant vouchers for both nights of our stay and they included one entree, as well as juice or coffee. The campus is beautiful and this would be the perfect place to stay if visiting a student, or attending a football game.

“Only place to stay if visiting Notre Dame.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2011

You can't beat this on campus location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast at the hotel restaurant was included. The lobby was quaint. The tiny elevators and sleeping areas of the hotel reminded me of my college dormitory. Don't expect luxury accomodations, but still the best bet in town.

“Comfy & convenient but make sure heater works”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

If you're doing anything on the Notre Dame campus, very hard to beat the Morris Inn for convenience. Well appointed rooms -- comfy bed, good coffee maker, flat screen TV -- and accommodating staff (got my check-out extended by three hours without extra charge).

But it's an old building and the heating system, if not original, has not been updated in a while. So thermostat control on the wall may or may not activate the heat in the hot-water unit by the window. Front desk guy did his best, but couldn't fix and I was in no mood to move. Maintenance guy came by at 8:45 and had it fixed within 15 minutes. To avoid potentially chilly nights, best to test the thermostat as soon as you check in.
