The only negative we had was that the pool was closed when we visited. Traveling with a 10 year old, the fact that the hotel had a pool aas an important factor when choosing where to stay. Another thing that we thought was strange was when we went for brunch as a family of 3. We were handed two bundles of silverware wrapped in a napkin and a package of plastic cutlery. It was indicated to us that the plastic cutlery was for our 10 year old. I said "no" to this and got a 3rd bundle of silverware. The hotel was very nice. Check in was a breeze. The room was nicely appointed and parking was on-site.

I was disappointed about the pool. It was drained and looks like it has been for awhile. Also, I like to the stairs because elevators scare me. They're were two sets of stairs and one of them can lock you into the stairwell then you have to call the front desk to get out. They other set of stairs required a map (dramatically speaking).

I selected this hotel because of the breakfast included in it. But I was surprised when we were told that it was not included, and thus, we needed to pay. Should I have known, I would have booked the Marriott hotel instead!

I stayed this hotel for a few days. I may have some clothing left in this hotel. I called the hotel and told them the situation, the staff who picked up call that they will check it, and will call me back once they find it out. This is within one month after my checkout. Now it's been a few days since my call, but I never heard anything back from them.

And the bed sheets felt so disgusting went and brought my own sheet to put on bed over the bedding, also there pool is currently closed 07/27/2024 we didn’t know of that until checking in, they gave us beach passes but you have to pay for parking and you can only go to that certain beach when they are all literally connected, front desk staff was great

Good deal
I had a wonderful stay. Staff was fantastic and all was clean and met my needs. The place isn’t polished new, but I appreciated the fair price. The four block walk to the lake front was wonderful. The neighborhood is safe and gorgeous—tons of lovely churches and homes on the walk to the lake. This was a good deal. I chose over Airbnb to have parking in Chicago.

It was fine
Cleanliness was fine. Bedding and towels were white white. Floors were vacuumed. Disappointed with pool being closed (apparently this happens a lot, according to my parents who’ve stayed here before). Breakfast was also disappointing (cold when it should have been warm, hard when it should have been soft - pancakes and waffles, I’m looking at you!).
