"The building is old and needs updates. The bathtub wouldn’t drain and maintenance tried twice to fix it. They did respond quickly, so that is a plus. "

"The breakfast menu was good. It was rather limited . Eggs to order were not available. The staff was excellent. They were all friendly and professional."

"Good hotel."

"Rooms were very nice and clean. My only complaint was the highway noise and garabage dumpsters being emptied at 5 am. The check in staff were very pleasant as well as the cleaning staff. The location was ideal for our vacation as we could walk to Rate Field to cheer on the White Sox and the area felt very safe."

"The stay was great, everyday the place is cleaned. And the location of the guest is close to the Mariano's grocery store."

"Very quiet and clean and very big gym"

"This is an older 2 story property with great big refinished rooms with lake views. Daily attention to room turndown excellent! Front desk staff very nice. Location is wonderful with the highway close, biking path and water close, food a short walk, and museums a short drive. Parking is free. Downside is part of the property is defunct with an empty pool, unused cafe and unused conference bldg. no elevator, no ice machine and poor shower pressure. A great price and memorable stay for us and would gladly come again!!"

"Asked for a Zelle “refundable” deposit and denied refund citing violation of house rules however there are documented images from their security footage that we did not violate those rules they claimed we did. They told me I checked in with three other guests and sent security footages, those were my friends helping me move the luggage not guests checking in. The total number of guests never violated any rules. They don’t have heater/AC in the room, asked us to open the window or use the room heater if we feel hot or cold. The room heater doesn’t work. The bathroom didn’t have hot water. "

"Good food options including breakfast buffet which was great. Clean and well maintained property. Staff were very professional. My friend forgot her eye glasses in the room before check out and realized after. The staff went up and found it for her. They had fallen between the bed and nightstand. That’s above and beyond IMO."
