Travel tips

Having a car is helpful here: many nearby draws (Tinley Park White Water Canyon Water Park, Lake Katherine Nature Center, Pullman National Historical Park) are several kilometers away and easiest to reach by driving. If you’re planning a special-occasion stay, ask in advance about availability of the Jacuzzi suite. Given mixed mentions of room cleanliness in guest feedback, consider checking your room upon arrival and addressing concerns immediately with staff.
