We ended up having to travel to the Chicago area twice within a short period of time. We so thoroughly enjoyed our first stay we didn’t hesitate to book again on our second trip up. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great and rooms were very nice.

Nice hotel, room clean & close to many restaurants & tourist attractions, friendly & accommodating staff…the only thing is there is little to no signage to let you know exactly where the hotel is located, so we had trouble finding it!
