Hilton Vacation Club Varsity Club South Bend, IN

5/5 Excellent

My favorite place to stay!

"I love this place. We found it last year for AYOP and its where i plan on staying every year. The extra space of the suit with the separate room and living area and lots of counter space make it prefect for my kids and I to eat in and relax after a long day of competition. The pool is a good size and since it's covered, great rain or shine. The putting green and bocce ball are fun little extra that the kids loved too. All the staff was wonderful and so accomodating. 10/10 recommend, especially for the price!"
