The Breakfast Buffet ( included with your stay ) was a real surprise. Reminded us of the ones when we stay at all inclusive resorts when it comes to breafast options. The food was fantastic and the staff was very attentive cleaning and seating everyone quickly. Rooms were really nice, comfortable bed, bathroom was laid out really well. Super clean hotel that we would definitely recommend & stay at again when returning to Chicago
