Perfect In Every Way

We truly enjoyed our stay! We were there to see our son/brother/boyfriend graduate from bootcamp and brought our 3 dogs so the 2 bedroom suite was PERFECT for us. It was clean quiet and close to everything. The staff was above and beyond. The free breakfast was better than we’ve seen in awhile. I can’t give a high enough rating. If we’re ever back in the Chicago area again, this is the only place we’ll even try to book at.
