Started off on a rough start they didn’t have our room ready hour and a half after check in time. Then gave us room keys to a room that already had someone in it. Which made the experience bad. But after that and we got settled in the room was nice and the parking was free which was great. And great location. Some areas of the hotel need updating but inside the room was nice.

Loved the location. The hotel and accommodations were very good. The breakfast; however, was terrible. There was nobody attending the free breakfast bar and they were out of most items. We went to breakfast an hour before it closed for the morning so there was no excuse for not having an attendant monitoring. There were a lot of people there for their breakfast and they were out of food.

We read the reviews, and wondered what we were in for.. Happy to report.. our 2 room suite was great! Clean rooms, spacious and quiet. King beds in both and 2 bathrooms. Loved the tall ceilings and warehouse look. We had a great view of the Lake from our 4th floor windows. Great morning breakfat as well. The only reason I rated you a four, our room wasn't ready at check-in, 20 min late. No room darkening shades, all the outside lights kept the room bright. All in all, we loved the property and will stay again.

Parking can be tough late on a weekend night. Staff was beyond great. Late night dining options (after 1030 or so) limited to Old Chicago next door. Hoops Brewery put their front entrance is definately worth quenching your thirst at. Beds were comfy, not too soft but not a slab of wood either. Rooms were clean and well laid out. Had zero issues!

Breakfast was very good. We had 2 rooms gave 2 of us the larger room, family of four was put in small room. No sheets for pull out sofa & chair in room, had to ask. Gave us sheets but told they were out of blankets. Had trouble opening room door with card even though green light. Nice pool area & hot tub.
