Robie House, the DuSable Black History Museum, and Jackson Park -- lies about 17-19 miles away for guests planning a day trip into the city.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious road travelers and casino visitors, given its half-mile proximity to Interstate 94 and its closeness to Horseshoe Hammond, Wind Creek Chicago Southland, and Ameristar Casino East Chicago. It also works for families or groups wanting free parking, free breakfast, and a heated indoor pool without paying premium city-center rates, and for those visiting Pullman National Historical Park or the William W. Powers State Recreation Area.
Travel tips
Having a car is recommended, since the closest attractions (casinos, Pullman National Historical Park) are several miles out and Chicago's major museums are 17-19 miles away, best reached by highway via nearby I-94. Book directly if you want an in-room whirlpool tub suite, and consider requesting a recently-renovated room given mixed feedback on room condition. Since reviews mention noise from nearby parking lot activity, light sleepers may want to request a room away from the lot-facing side.
