Staff was friendly and accommodating and lobby warm and tastefully decorated for Christmas. The price was expected being it was in a Chicago suburb. The bed was comfortable but since the temperature outside was freezing we could have used a heavy comforter. The room was disappointing, very outdated, carpet was old and needed to be replaced or a deep, deep cleaning. The heat was on but seemed to shut off sp

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a great stay. Recommend for large rooms, walkable and safe area, price, and free parking lots. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 stars is the room was very warm/stuffy and the fan worked but not air-I get it’s and older hotel but the thermostat was not secure and hanging on by a thread the tv was also hard to work it had to be turned in a certain position to power on. Those were not deal breakers to me and I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.
