We stayed here for a weekend trip to Chicago. Hotel is close to train into the city - took us about 30 minutes to get to Wrigley. Free parking and free breakfast make this a great deal for a hotel near the city. Rooms/suites are spacious - perfect for our family of five. Lots of great restaurants nearby and less than a mile to walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again

We stayed here when torrential rain delayed our flight to back NJ for 2 days. The hotel has a relaxed, comfortable vibe which aligns with its suburban location. Staff was friendly and helpful. The best aspect was the food. We received excellent chocolate chip cookies upon arrival, and a complimentary served breakfast that had many delicious options, all of which were well prepared. Id certainly consider this as an option for our next trip to Chicago.
