Travel tips
With the hotel set off I‑80 and free parking included, having a car makes it easier to reach nearby parks, casinos, and Chicago-area attractions such as Pullman National Historical Park (about 17.8 km away). If you have an early start on a weekday, ask about the breakfast bags to go; otherwise, plan time for the included daily hot breakfast. For a close-by meal, Fiori Italian is roughly a 1–2 minute walk (about 93 meters).
What guests say
Guests frequently mention friendly, helpful service and consistently note that rooms are very clean. Comfortable bedding is also a recurring positive point, along with breakfast being viewed as a strong offering by some visitors. However, there are also complaints about breakfast quality and selection on certain stays. A serious negative theme appears in one account alleging discriminatory treatment and a deeply unsafe, hostile experience, contrasting sharply with other reviews that praise staff.
