9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
Very convenient location near Notre Dame Campus. I found it cheaper to book thru a 3rd party site. Breakfast offering was exceptional. Real scrambled eggs as opposed to watery powdered eggs at hotel chains. Also included fried eggs over easy at the buffet. Downside, the elevator was out of order and I was on the 3rd floor.
