I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and exceeded my expectations, although they felt very outdated, especially the bathroom and carpet. The service was not helpful initially but improved when they moved me to a quieter room. The location was very convenient, not too far from downtown, and perfect for a girls' trip. The dining options were good but ended early, and the breakfast wasn't what I expected.

The hotel room was larger than expected and had everything we could have hoped for. However, it was uncomfortably hot at 90 degrees when we would walk in, and it also smelled like smoke. The restroom had a really bad stench of pee, making it not suitable for a family trip.

The rooms were larger than the same type from my last stay and had everything we could have hoped for, but they were uncomfortably hot and had unpleasant smells.
Service

The staff was fun, friendly, and interacted with us in a nice manner. However, there was some confusion as they said that the pool was closed, yet people were swimming in it, making it a bit awkward. The dry cleaning and laundry service were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
Location
8.0
The location was good with quick access to the freeway, but finding construction equipment and a broken treadmill in the area was not pleasant. The proximity to Chicago and the pleasant area with a resort-like ambiance made it worth the money.
Dining
7.0
The dining experience was nice in terms of food quality with a typical offering including muffins, toast, whole fruit, and hard-boiled eggs. However, it was a bit awkward to eat as there is no real dining area; instead, you had to eat on sofas in the lobby.

The facilities were basic but fair, with some shortcomings in terms of cleanliness and maintenance.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, quiet, and equipped with a fridge and a microwave, which was very convenient for saving money by preparing our own meals. However, the cleanliness was a bit of a concern. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch with friendly and professional staff, including Brian who was particularly helpful. The location was decent, not far from the main attractions but on the edge of the area I preferred. The dining experience offered a simple yet filling continental breakfast, but it wasn't exactly what I expected. Overall, good value for money with some room for improvement.
