This is my first time staying outside of downtown in Chicago and I really enjoyed this hotel. The pool is kind of small so we really didn’t use it. There was also plenty to do around the area so you didn’t have to go downtown to find something fun to do. The room, the staff and everything was pretty good and affordable for Memorial Day weekend.

This is my second time staying here, and I would definitely stay a third time. The location is great. It's close to the Allstate Arena and there's lots of food options and shopping nearby. The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean, and the breakfast buffet is simple but pretty good. My kids also loved the pool.
