Search hotels in Elkhart

I’ve lived in Elkhart Indiana and its..... eh. But we never made this trip due to the virus. I canceled the reservation in plenty of time, but y’all still took $80 from us. I’ve emailed a few times with no response so a bad review may help. We would like a credit for a later date, or a refund, or just a response would be appreciated. Thanks

This is not really a vacation destination. The roads are always under construction, but never look any better than when they started. There’s a crime problem in at least half of the town. Despite the rich history and farm culture there are not really attractions or things to do. My suggestions to anyone stopping by on the way would be to stop at a farm along the roadside that offers pick your own, and get the kiddos (or adults) out for a snack and some fresh air. Also, there are wineries everywhere, and tons of Amish markets with delicious cheeses and pastas, not to mention breads and meats. Unfortunately they close rather early, so check ahead before you go out of your way! While in town make sure you check out King Wha, they have amazing Chinese food, and you always get more than you think. There is a new shopping center, conveniently located right next the the hotel, boasting a Starbucks and plenty of choices for shopping. However, taking a 15 minute drive to Mishawaka opens up the possibilities unbelievably. The University Park Mall is amazing, and holds everything you could ever want! (Both food and other wise). Alternately, there are several Zoo’s close by. Outr favorite being the Potawatomi Zoo. Definitely worth a visit, and if you’re in a hurry it’s not too big to get through in under an hour, without feeling like you’re missing anything.

The hotel is around a lot of hotels and stores! The outdoor pool was fun, but there was no shade for my fair skin. The room was big, the bed was comfy and the room was clean. The fridge was a little small, but that only mattered because I was there for 5 days. My 6 year old loved the hotel. Only downfall was the breakfast would be empty by 8am and there were 2 tour buses over the weekend that depleted the breakfast even faster. I'd go back there again!

We've been traveling back and forth from PA to Omaha for well over 20 years, sometimes up to 3x a year. We discovered Elkhart early in our travels and, if we are not driving straight through, this is where we stop every time for an affordable nights stay.

Elkhart is close to Notre Dame University. We stayed at The Garden Inn which is a great value compared to other hotels in the area. Restaurant on site. Free Continental Breakfast. In-room coffee. Very quiet and restful. Easy access to the Interstate 90/80.

We were in town for the Winter Classic Hockey game at Notre Dame. Elkhart was very close without having to be right next to the stadium. There is a wide variety of shopping and It offers a ton of different food options, from popular chains (Cracker Barrel, Texas Roadhouse) to locally owned (Callahan’s, and The Great Wall) we highly recommend talking to locals to find their favorite spots!
