9.4/10 Exceptional! (3,498 reviews)
Great location right off of Michigan Ave. They have a very good breakfast, that included almost everything you could want. It was very popular and packed with people. One negative, it felt like it was a cafeteria and not a relaxing place to sit down, relax and enjoy.

Lyons seemed like a decent little town. Had no problem at all with hotel or town. I think the hotel was a little pricey for what they offer but all in all it is alright.
