Great hotel. Great price.

Awesome and modern hotel in a fantastic area. Great staff. Clean facility. The only downfall is that you have to take a short walk to the parking lot. In the summer, no problem. Wintertime...

Cubs win!

We came with family and friends to a baseball game. This was close enough to the ballpark and was in a quiet area. Had to park near the facility for a short walk. Friendly staff and clean location. The room was nice, bed was very comfortable for both of us, shower was nice, good water pressure. Had coffee in the morning did not get breakfast but was available and cost extra. Didn’t visit the bar, pool or exercise area but was available. Would recommend this place.

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The public areas were clean and well kept. We loved that there was a pool table and games to play outside of the bar area. Our only issue was the open floor plan of the room. The toilet was enclosed by just a sliding door and the outside of the door was the shower/sink area that was completely open to the rest of the room with the shower door being opaque at best. Other than that it was a very pleasant experience.
