What a great stay! We had a little relaxing mom's night! convienctly located with a quick drive to get down town without the price to park overnight. Salt water pool was a surprise. The breakfast was very nice, surprised at how many ppl were getting breakfast at the same time. Lobby was big, comfortable, and fit all the guest who were enjoying breakfast. Would happily stay here again for our next night out.

We went to the alliant center for the garden show. We were shuttled back and forth for the two day event and bonus we were shuttled to a restaurant for dinner as long as it was within 3 miles. Absolutely wonderful

Overall pleasant stay

The hotel was nice, great service, and great breakfast. We got the room with the two queens and the sofa bed suite to sleep 6. It was very spacious, however the only con was the sofa bed was a twin pull out size not a full or queen. It was also terribly uncomfortable. The beds were comfortable. So to sleep six, I would have brought a big air mattress rather than use the sofa bed
