Hotel:  aloft South Bend
Would I stay again?  Yes.  I stay at this hotel almost every time I visit South Bend. I can walk to my client’s office and local restaurants plus the rooms are great for solo travelers.  Plus they will make you a great egg white burrito if you ask nicely!

Have some time at night? Check out the South Bend River Lights! Although it was snowing, I took a great walk to see the lights after dinner at Render!

Restaurants:

Dinner: Render
Would I dine again? Yes.  This is my second or third trip to Render and food and drinks are awesome!  I usually sit at the bar solo or with the right colleague, we share a bunch of plates!

Lunch: Navarre
Would I dine again? Yes.  I have been here for lunch three times and it is always good.  Next time I am in town I will need to try dinner.
