We stayed for two nights. The hotel was located very near out destination. Room was very comfortable and, even though it was Memorial Day, very peaceful. Breakfast had a variety of appropriate choices. The only drawback was the air conditioner in our room, which was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a nice stay.

It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. The cleaning was questionable because there was a small kid toy on the floor when we walked in and a wash cloth thrown onto the TV stand.

I always enjoy the complimentary breakfast each morning. My room was cleaned well. The manager provided quarters for me to buy for doing laundry since there wasn’t a change machine. It’s a safe place to stay with friendly staff. The pool was nice, however the towels were too small. I enjoyed my stay and intend to visit again.

We arrived late in the evening and had a smooth check in process. The beds were comfortable and the hotel was quiet - even with our room being close to the elevator. Breakfast the next morning was good and the attendant was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.

As the question of breakfast seems at top of many lists, I address that. Unfortunately, there was little offered. We had stayed at Best Westerns all the way back from Florida and unfortunatey Olgesby IL let us down. The choices were few and nothing like our previous three stays coming back North. The room was accessible and well appointed, spacious. The king bed was comfortable, sink separate from bath and plenty of quality towels, etc. It is located in a very quiet area with traffic noise from I39 non-existent.
