The SpringHill Suites South Bend Notre Dame Area is now open in South Bend, Indiana. It is owned and managed by JSK Hospitality under AJ Patel, president and CEO.

The 92-suite hotel is five miles from South Bend International Airport and eight minutes from downtown. Nearby are the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s College, Four Winds Casino and the Morris Performing Arts Center.

Amenities include a meeting room, an indoor swimming pool, fitness center and guest laundry facilities.
