Great place to stop before you to or after you've made through the slog of Chicago traffic. Also great to place explore the Indiana Dunes area. Wonderful front desk staff. Breakfast was tasty with good selections. Quiet, safe and easy to get to off of the highway. Look forward to staying there again.

Everyone was friendly. Hotel was taken care of for the most part. Breakfast was good. Beds comfy and plenty of space in the rooms. Shower wasn’t clean though. And pool wasn’t the cleanest. Stains on our carpet and some damage to wood part of cabinets.

Would not stay again

There were no blackout curtains or blinds in our room, so it was very bright. There was only a flimsy, thin pull-down shade. The bathroom had a chipped tub; it was also very slippery. Plus, the shampoo holder had been ripped from the wall and was sitting in the tub/ shower. There were large sections of adhesive residue on the shower wall. The room also smelt heavily of perfume.

The beds were comfortable I will start there. Our toilet stopped working properly and we ended up having to walk to the lobby bathroom each time that had no soap or towels. The gentleman at the desk did apologize and tried to assist, not sure if anything will come out of it. The bathtub did not look like it was cleaned (hair) and half the charging outlets in our room were broken. The toiletries were super cheap large dove bottles, quite a few items for breakfast were out very early. The biggest issue was the noise. We heard everything in the hallway loud and clear and we were woken up at 6:30am by the adjoining rooms tv. Overall, we would probably try a different hotel going back in that area.
