The property was understaffed the weekend we stayed, so fresh towels, toilet paper, paper cups in room, etc., depended on our making a trip to the front desk to get them ourselves. Not what I'm accustomed to at $465 for two nights.

Location was great for getting to the parks. Place was very clean and quiet. A tornado hit the city on my second day. They handled the emergency very professionally. Downed power lines everywhere so no electricity. They were great. Staff was calling people who had reservations to let them know what was going on. They let me and others leave early with a refund.

It was a good no-frills experience. On check-in, they advised that bookings by 3rd parties (Expedia) are subject to an additional $5 fee. I advised that I pre-paid for the booking and that there shouldn’t be any additional fees—that’s why I booked through Expedia. They offered a one-time removal of the fee. Other than that brief moment, it was great. Place is clean, Staff was pleasant, and the breakfast was tasty.

Room had great design and flow. Breakfast was consistently delicious. Only hiccup was at check in when we were told they found our reservation but had no rooms available due to issues with not having enough housekeeping staff and we would be referred to a different hotel 10 miles away. This was resolved when the manager came 2 minutes later and opened up a recently cleaned room. Another plus was when the entire city of Portage lost power due to severe weather storms. We were under tornado warnings with minimal emergency lighting. Everyone was calm and we felt secure. Stairwells had emergency lighting while we couldn't use elevator. Room card keys still worked. No issues. Power restored around midnight 8 hours later and the staff had another delicious breakfast ready some 6 hours later including some of the best hotel coffee I've ever had. This was our 2nd stay. Will definitely stay again when we visit family nearby,
