Good location, good breakfast

Pool size was OK, but water very chilly and no hot tub/jacuzzi to jump in to warm up. Pool was open late - 11 p.m. - so that was nice. Room cleanliness not "spotless" but above average. Temp in room well-regulated once we got it set to our preference. Hide-a-bed was in good condition, not saggy or gross mattress as we have encountered at other hotels. Bathroom a little small. Was great to have hot food at breakfast as well as fresh fruit salad, skim milk and yogurt. Had fridge so could keep leftovers. Front desk staff and staff working the breakfast area very nice. Good location. Near a lot of restaurants, shopping and I-65 & U.S. 30. Could hear interstate traffic once our room was quiet, but it was not distracting, did not prevent us from sleeping.

Dining tip: Long walk from hotel

Abuelo's just down the street. Great Mexican-American food. Kids meals $1.99 on Sundays. Lunch specials are EVERY day. Regular menu pricey, so lunch specials are a good deal.

Good value, one hour drive from Chicago

Although this is an older building lacking some of the luster of newer Holiday Inns, the rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable. Since we recently had a bed bug scare, we even checked the beds for bed bugs and found the mattresses, pillow tops, blankets and box springs to be spotlessly clean. The bathroom was large and nicely decorated in marble. There is a small pool and a workout room with a couple treadmills, but you also get free entry to the fully-equipped Gold's Gym down the road with your hotel room key. It was noisy during our stay but there were three softball teams staying there during that time so we're sure it's generally quiet. Breakfast is fairly extensive, including a wide range of baked goods, cereal, yogurt, juices, fruit, eggs, sausage, bagels and toast. Finally, the hotel is right off of I-65 and is just under an hour from downtown Chicago. We stayed there over July 4 weekend and easily commuted back and forth, avoiding the crowds and prices of Chicago.
