Travel tips
If you’re planning to use the indoor pool, consider confirming pool availability in advance, as guests have reported renovation-related closures. With the hotel off I-80, most visitors will find a car useful for reaching nearby casinos, parks, and Lake Michigan’s Whihala Beach (about 11 miles away). Downtown Chicago is roughly 30 miles away, so factor in travel time and traffic when planning day trips.
