Unbelievable Deals Await at Mishawaka's BEST Country Inn & Suites!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the vortex of "Unbelievable Deals Await at Mishawaka's BEST Country Inn & Suites!" and, honestly… I'm kinda excited. Let's see if this place lives up to the hype, shall we? And for the love of all that is holy, let's see if they have decent coffee. Because, you know, priorities.
First Impressions & Accessibility: Can I even GET in there?
Okay, so SEO-wise, this is HUGE. And frankly, for anyone who actually needs these features, it's life-changing. They've got wheelchair accessibility, which is fantastic, and even mention facilities for disabled guests. Hallelujah! That's a massive check in the "making life easier" box. They also boast an elevator, which is a must-have, and the whole "hotel chain" thing usually means they've got a handle on accessibility standards. They even have facilities for disabled guests, plus exterior corridors (always a plus if you're a germaphobe, or just want to avoid the potential elevator awkwardness).
Getting Connected: Internet, Because Duh.
They REALLY hammer home the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and the Wifi in Public areas. Good. Very good. They also seem to have all the standards: Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet Access – Wireless in your rooms. This is modern times, people! No more dial-up nightmares. Though, for authenticity's sake, I almost wish they did have a dial-up option… just to make me feel old.
Cleanliness & Safety: Is this place a biohazard?
This is where things get SERIOUSLY interesting, folks. Because, let's be real, traveling post-pandemic? We’re all a little… paranoid. They're advertising (and I'm very pleased about it) Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Rooms sanitized between stays, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, and Staff trained in safety protocol. Plus, for the ultimate peace of mind, they have room sanitization opt-out available. Okay, Country Inn & Suites, you're winning me over. This is solid. They also have Hand sanitizer, First aid kit, and Doctor/nurse on call. Excellent. Chef's kiss.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Will I Starve?
Okay, okay, let’s talk food. Because, again: PRIORITY. They've got Breakfast [buffet], which is always a gamble, but I'm hopeful. They also have Breakfast service, so maybe they’ve got some decent options. A Coffee shop is a must. Restaurants are a given, but the variety is what matters. They mention Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and even a Vegetarian restaurant. Fingers crossed this actually is a diverse menu! Room service [24-hour] is a blessing. Also, they have a Bar and a Poolside bar which is always a treat. They have a Snack bar, something to munch on. And if you’re lucky, you can enjoy Happy hour.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: More than just a bed, please!
This is where things get… interesting. They have what I consider the core essentials. A Fitness center is a modern hotel staple, as are the Sauna, the Spa/sauna, Swimming pool and the dreaded Swimming pool [outdoor]. The place has a Gym/fitness, and a Spa (but, you’d hope!). Oh and how about a Pool with view, can't miss! Beyond that, they've got a Steamroom, which is pretty amazing. And if you want to get really fancy, they have a Foot bath (okay, now we’re talking!), Body scrub, Body wrap, and a Massage (yes!).
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras That Matter
This is where the hotel really starts to either shine or crumble. Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, and Convenience store are all wonderful. They offer Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Ironing service, Laundry service, and Luggage storage. They have a Gift/souvenir shop (you know you’re going to grab a mug!), Meeting stationery, and Projector/LED display! Okay, they’re starting to get fancy now. They also mention Smoking area which I think is a big plus.
For the Kids: Because we all have to know.
They have Babysitting service, which is excellent for families who want a little breather. They also offer Family/child friendly, and also Kids meal. If you’re desperate, there are options.
In-Room Amenities: The Nitty Gritty
Alright, the real test. What do you actually get when you plop your weary self into a room? They list a boatload of options, which is encouraging. They offer Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, and Complimentary tea. Daily housekeeping is always appreciated. They offer a Desk, Extra long bed (yessss!), Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless. They even have Laptop workspace, which is handy. Mini bar is a classic. They also mention Non-smoking rooms, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, and Seating area. Separate Shower and Bathtub yay! And, most importantly, Wi-Fi [free].
Getting Around: Taxi!
They offer Airport transfer, the ever crucial Car park [free of charge], and Taxi service. The valet parking is a nice touch for those who are feeling fancy. They even have a Car power charging station.
So… The Verdict? And the Unbelievable Deal!

Escape to Ruston: Your Perfect Quality Inn Getaway!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. We're going to Mishawaka, Indiana, and we're doing it right. By "right," I mean we're going to embrace the chaos, the questionable decisions, and the inevitable moment of realizing you packed the wrong socks. We're aiming for a Country Inn & Suites by Radisson experience, but hey, who knows where we'll end up emotionally?
A Mishawaka Meltdown (in the Best Way Possible) - A Travel Itinerary (ish)
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread at the Outlet Mall, aka "Oh God, I Forgot My Toothbrush"
- 2:00 PM: Arrive at Country Inn & Suites, Mishawaka. Okay, first impressions. The lobby is…beige. So much beige. It’s the kind of beige that whispers “comfort,” but also kinda screams “I haven’t had a really good dusting in a minute.” Check-in. Pray the room key works. (Anecdote: One time, in a hotel in Vegas, I spent a solid hour at the front desk trying to get a key that didn't erase itself every five seconds. I was practically begging them for a chisel and a room number at that point.)
- 2:30 PM: Room acquired! Relief washes over me. I throw my bag on the… what is it, a king-sized bed? Alright. Time to assess the damage: Did I pack everything? (Deep breath) Okay, okay… wallet, phone, charger… wait. (Panic sets in) NO TOOTHBRUSH! The abyss stares back. This is the beginning of my downfall, I'm feeling it.
- 3:00 PM: Embark on a mission to the outlet mall. This is where the real fun begins. We're talking the Grape Road shopping area - the place in Mishawaka. So, the outlet mall. It exists. It's…mall-y. (Opinion: Outlet malls are a necessary evil. You go expecting amazing deals, but you usually just end up buying a slightly cheaper version of something you didn't really need anyway.)
- 4:00 PM: Browse, buy some things, make some questionable fashion choices (that's a given). Find a toothbrush and, crucially, toothpaste. Crisis averted! Whew. Also, I buy a weirdly patterned scarf. Don't judge.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at… (insert local restaurant that isn't a chain). Trying to avoid the usual suspects. Finding local flavor… or at least, something other than the Olive Garden. (More opinion: Chain restaurants are fine, but they lack soul. I want the slightly grumpy waitress, the family-sized portions, the local gossip. Give me character!)
- 7:30 PM: Stroll through the hotel lobby… and maybe, just maybe, judge the other guests. (Kidding! Mostly. Okay, like 70% kidding.). Back to the room. Unpack (probably not effectively). Realize I forgot my book. Sigh.
- 8:30 PM: Watch whatever happens to be on TV. Order extra pillows. Contemplate life. This, friends, is the true travel experience.
- 9:30 PM: Get a terrible nights sleep, because the hotel is only as good as the people who are in there - and someone is having a party next door.
Day 2: Breakfast Blues, Holy Cow, and Emotional Reckoning
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Ugh. Hotel breakfast time! The free breakfast is a double-edged sword. It's convenient, yes, but it’s also the breeding ground for lukewarm scrambled eggs and questionable sausages. (Anecdote: I once spent a full ten minutes trying to figure out if the “fruit” at a hotel breakfast was actually supposed to be that yellow and hard. It was. Still not sure what it was, though.)
- 7:00 AM: Breakfast. Endure.
- 9:00 AM: Time for a moment. We planned on going to the Potawatomi Zoo. But frankly, I’m suddenly overwhelmed by the thought of…zoos. And cute animals just feels like… too much right now. (Emotional Reaction: Is this…mid-life crisis? Am I starting to question the very fabric of my existence because I have to see some lions? Probably.)
- 9:30 AM: Instead, let’s go antiquing. I mean, I think there are antique shops around here. Or maybe we just drive around aimlessly, listening to some angsty music and pretending we're in a coming-of-age film. Yep. (Opinion: Antiquing is a gamble. You might find hidden treasure. Or you might end up with a chipped porcelain doll that stares at you from the corner of your room, judging your life choices.)
- 11:00 AM: Okay, let's try finding something to do. Maybe a park? I have no idea. Research time! Look at Mishawaka Online, and find some "hidden gems."
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Find a decent diner or cafe. (Opinion: Always find a diner or cafe. They usually have the best coffee and best stories. And probably the best pancakes.)
- 1:00 PM: Ok, Potawatomi Zoo. I'm ready. Not sure if the zoo is as prepared for me as I am them, but we'll see.
- 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM: Zoo time!
- 4:00 PM: Hit a coffee shop. Contemplate what just happened.
- 5:00 PM: Head back to the hotel. Relax. Watch some tv.
- 6:00 PM: Explore an area. Find a restaurant.
- 7:00 PM: Eat.
- 8:00 PM: More TV. Realize that I am a creature of habit.
- 9:00 PM: Watch a movie.
- 10:00 PM: Sleep.
Day 3: Departure and the lingering scent of… adventure?
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Last breakfast! Attempt to have more positive feelings for the breakfast this time.
- 9:00 AM: Check out.
- 9:30 AM: One last look at the beige lobby. Farewell, Mishawaka! You've been… something. Definitely something.
- 10:00 AM: Drive back home, and try to keep all of the experiences in mind.
Things to remember:
- Embrace the unexpected: Mishawaka might not be Paris, but it has character. And character creates stories.
- Pack extra socks: Seriously.
- Don’t be afraid to be a tourist: You’re there to experience it (even if sometimes you’re just experiencing mild existential dread).
- Enjoy the mess: Travel isn’t meant to be perfect. It's meant to be… human.
And that, my friends, is the real Mishawaka itinerary. Now go forth and conquer those lukewarm scrambled eggs! (Or, you know, just order room service. I won't judge.)
Sun City Center Getaway: Comfort Inn's Unbeatable Tampa Bay Deal!
Unbelievable Deals Await at Mishawaka's BEST Country Inn & Suites! ...Or Are They?! (Let's Unpack This)
Okay, "Best." That's a Bold Claim. What Makes *This* Country Inn & Suites, You Know, *The Best*?
Alright, alright, hold your horses. "Best" is a loaded word, I admit. They *say* it's the prime location near the University of Notre Dame AND the convenience stores. They *proclaim* it's the "friendly staff." Look, I'm just a guy who booked a room there last Tuesday. The lobby was... well, let's just say it *smelled* faintly of chlorine and old coffee, a classic Country Inn perfume blend, right? But hey, the staff *were* unfailingly polite. Like, genuinely, excessively polite. Maybe *too* polite? Made me feel like I was constantly about to be scolded for something I hadn't even *done* yet. And the breakfast? Oh, the breakfast. More on that later. Let's say the word "best" might be a tad... *optimistic*.
"Unbelievable Deals"? Seriously? What Kind of Fire Sale Are We Talking About?
Deals, yes. Unbelievable? That's where things get hazy. They advertised a "20% off midweek stay!" Which, great! Except, after I added in taxes and the "resort fee" (which, for the love of all things holy, WHERE is the resort?! Mishawaka is lovely, don't get me wrong, but it's not exactly the French Riviera!), the "deal" ended up being... well, it was still cheaper than a full-price stay at a fancier hotel in South Bend. So, technically, yes. But the unbelievable part, I suspect, is how they manage to make the vending machine *charge* extra for the mini-cup of M&Ms. Seriously, a rip-off.
Is the Free Breakfast Actually...Edible? Tell me EVERYTHING.
(Deep breath) Okay. The breakfast. This is where we *really* get into it. I walked into the breakfast area with high hopes. I was hungry. I figured, alright, standard continental fare, maybe a waffle maker, a glimmer of hope. This was...an experience. The "scrambled eggs" were... a suspicious shade of yellow, shaped vaguely into something resembling scrambled eggs. They tasted...like they'd been through a science experiment and lost. The "sausage patties" had the density of a hockey puck. The coffee...Look, I'm not a coffee snob, I drink instant at home sometimes when I'm feeling *lazy*, but even *I* struggled. It tasted like dishwater that had vaguely associated with coffee beans. But the waffle maker? Oh, sweet victory, or so I thought. The batter...was a bit lumpy. I made a waffle. One side was cooked, one side was still practically raw. I salvaged it with a pile of syrup. Then I saw a kid...a KID...put an entire jar of peanut butter on a single waffle. I thought "wow, that's some kind of culinary masterpiece." Then I went back to my room and ate the granola bars I had brought, which, blessedly, involved no cooking whatsoever.
What About the Pool? Because, Let's Be Honest, That's Sometimes the Deciding Factor.
Ah, the pool. I didn’t *use* the pool. I *looked* at the pool. It had that distinctive indoor pool smell, which, as we all know, is a blend of chlorine, dampness, and a vague hint of disappointment. The pool area was...small. Very small. I saw maybe three people crammed in there. It *looked* clean enough, but honestly, I was already bracing myself to battle the questionable egg situation. So, no, I didn't take the plunge. I'm a coward that way.
Is There Anything GOOD About Staying at This Place, Besides the Friendly (Too Friendly?) Staff?
Okay, look. Let's be fair. It *was* clean. The room itself, even though it had a slight "grandma's guest room" vibe, was reasonably tidy. The bed was comfortable! And, as mentioned, the staff *were* nice. Plus, it was convenient to... well, to everything. You’re not far from things, I'll concede that point. And the free Wi-Fi actually *worked*. So, yes, there were *some* positives. But let's be realistic. The highlight of the stay was escaping without having to scrape the hockey puck-like sausage patties off my teeth. Small victories count, right?
So, Would You Recommend It? Be Honest!
Hmm. If you're on a super tight budget and need a place to crash, and you're not too picky about breakfast, and you're okay with a slightly underwhelming experience... then *maybe*. If you want a genuinely *good* hotel experience? Probably not. Look. It's a Country Inn & Suites. You expect it. It delivers. It’s... fine. Just...bring your own instant coffee and granola bars. And maybe a good book to distract you from the questionable breakfast situation. You've been warned.
