Room was OK but the fitness center needs a major renovation- smelled as if a homeless person was living there for weeks.

Loved the location. We walked 15 minutes to visit Notre Dame University. The room was spacious, it’s an older hotel but very clean and well maintained. It was quiet, bed was on the firmed side and pillows were comfortable and plenty of them. The sofa bed was not the most confortable but most of them are not. The staff was friendly and very polite. The breakfast was one of the best I had including multiple selections including fresh fruit, oatmeal with toppings to choose from, eggs, bacon, pancakes, potatoes, waffle station, bread/pastries station, yogurt, milk, coffee/tea station. They have airport shuttle but we did not use it since we rented a car and airport is closed by. We will stay here again.

Zoo is really nice, small but good variety of animals and good signage to educate kids and adults. Fun hands on feeding stations!
