Location was a bit off the interstate. Room was newly renovated. The room was great and staff friendly. Great for 1 night after a long evening driving out of Chicago. My only complaint is that other guest(s) are inconsiderate. One guest was smoking in their room when the property is smoke-free and set off the fire alarm waking everyone up. This happened on 2 occasions in 1 night because they didnt want to go downstairs to smoke. I hope the hotel stuck to their policy and fined this guest, just for the inconvenience of waking everyone else up in the hotel.

8/10 Very Good! (958 reviews)
Great breakfast options and staff was friendly. Pool room floor was kinda dirty. Our room was clean but the bed was so flappy and squishy, and i like a firm mattress. Great shower! Id probably stay there again but might not bc of the soft bed.
