Excellent stay at the Avanti!
We highly recommend the Avanti for your next stay. It is quiet and very relaxing. The Avanti offers all the amenities necessary to be comfortable while providing a lot of history in every room. We could not have had a better stay! Thank you so much.

I never stayed there. I was unable to check in on the first day. And then I ran into some issues that evening which prevented me from returning. So I paid for the three days and never stayed there

Cozy stay
I love old houses and the room was very cozy, clean, and homey. Check in/out couldn't have been easier. I wish we had more time to check out South Bend!

Nice quiet lodging at a reasonable rate. We attended the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame game ... convenient drive to the football stadium.

This home was built in 1890 so it doesn't have a lot of modern amenities, but once you understand you are essentially staying within a "museum" you can only enjoy the ambiance, artwork, furniture, items and artifacts virtually everywhere.
And the owner, Don, has a pristine Avanti car in his garage that he is very proud of and willing to show you!
I would most definitely return!

I can't say enough nice things about our stay in room #7 at the Avanti House. This is an old house, and with that comes both the charm and quirks of an older home.
The couple who manage it do an amazing job keeping it up, and everything from the architectural details to the tributes to a classic car legacy make this such a charming place to stay.
The location was an easy walk to so many wonderful restaurants and landmarks around South Bend, and getting to Notre Dame was a breeze. I know where I'll be staying when I come to visit my baby for her freshman year next fall!

Wonderful place to stay. We really enjoyed out visit. We enjoyed it so much we are going back at the end of the month. I had neck surgery and asked for extra pillows, the staff went out of there way to find and bring me the extra pillows.

Our stay is good, just a side note from the age of the building stepping on some areas of the floor has a bit squeaky noise but overall the place is quiet and have a very historic museum on the ground floor.
