Good hotel, good location

Very friendly at check-in, and did the little things that make the hotel better like keeping fresh cookies at the desk. Right across the street from Valparaiso University and a short walk (maybe 20 minutes) from downtown Valparaiso. Also DQ next door and Culver's across the street. Comfortable beds, but square pillows can make it a little difficult to roll over. Breakfast was good - had waffles, eggs, sausage on top of typical continental breakfast fare. Rooms a little small - king bed rooms don't have a couch, but the bathrooms were bigger than usual. Yeah, and the shower had an annoying strong spray. Had a pool and a small fitness room (treadmill, elliptical and bike). I'll consider it again next time I'm back in Valpo.

Overall very good

I was there visiting the Law School. It is right next to the college. The people were friendly, the rooms were clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The only thing that was not as good was the breakfast. There was a good selection, but there were several selections that were not as good as they looked. The food was the only thing that needed improving.

The best dining is either downtown, or up north on Calmute. The short trip is well worth the food!

ok, not great

For the price I expected more. The location was good for what I needed but it was rather noisy as it is close to the road and there is a Dairy Queen drive thru next to one side of the building. The breaksfast bar was average, nothing to brag about. The manager was from India and the maids did not speak english. The beds wete very hard.

Great location, terrific service & quiet

I had a King suite with a small refrigerator and a microwave...great for storing my leftovers from the restaurant. The breakfast items were great and there was a good selection. The pillows were awesome; never slept on square pillows before. TV was great and I had a wonderful visit in San Antonio. The Northwoods Mall right next door and all the restaurants nearby gave me plenty of options for my free time. I will definitely go back again.

Great location and clean

Directly across from the Valparaiso University Campus and close to everything. Nice comfortable room. The only drawback was the complementary breakfast...stale biscuits, terrible scrambled eggs. The pre-packaged items were fine (cereals, yogurt, etc).

A Pleasant Surprise, Close to Downtown

This hotel was great considering that it was in a smaller rural city. The rooms come equipped with a large fridge, microwave and extra-comfortable over sized chair. All and all, this hotel was much better than I expected.
