This is a great hotel. It is now a La Quinta property but with the same great staff. I have stayed here dozens of times over the past 7 years. Always great, always friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are exceptionally large and clean. The hotel is right near the highway and not far from downtown, and for SO much less expensive than staying in a comperable place in the city. Pretty standard continental breakfast, but a little better than average as they had a make-your-own belgin waffle maker, which were great! I'd highly recommend this place.

I stayed at this hotel 6/22-6/26/05. The front desk was extremely courteous and helpful. We arrived early (12:00) and our room was ready with no wait. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The decor was a little dated, but no big deal. The refrigerator and microwave in the room was definately a big plus, however I wish there would have been a sink in the "kitchen" area. Another big plus was that there was a great indoor pool and exercise room at the hotel. As we didn't want to stay in hectic downtown, the location was just right for us. There was shopping and movies nearby (we had a rental car) and we easily caught the train downtown at one of the two nearby train stations. The hotel staff was very accomodating and the evening happy hour in the lobby was also a plus. I would definately consider staying at this hotel again. My only negative was that the weekend (Saturday night) front desk person, as well as Saturday housekeeping staff showed a lot to be desired. They did not provide anywhere near the above average performance of the weekday crew(s). Overall, if your'e looking for a place to stay in suburban Chicago, you should consider this hotel.
