Good smelling property. Convenient to the highway. Quality accommodations with a good breakfast.

Steven United States of America

2nd bedroom in the suite you could hear all noise in hallways. The other bedroom the vent was in ceiling. A little cold sleeping even after turning heat up. Would still stay here, no biggy. Treadmill broke in exercise room. Breakfast was a big disappointment. Scrambled eggs and hash, do not like hash, were not filled back up. I finally found creamer in the cupboards and filled it up myself. I still enjoyed the stay.

Mary United States of America

I really enjoyed the two bedroom suite so that my coworker and I could have separate rooms. It was a nice last minute stay due to a snowstorm keeping us in town. You can walk through the hotel to the Old Chicago restaurant which was handy with the cold weather. The young man checking me in was super friendly. Breakfast was pretty standard but you do have a blueberry option for waffles which was fun.

Laura United States of America

The staff was so warm and friendly! I will stay again. I stayed on the way to Mayo Clinic this date. it was such a BEAUTIFUL suite. Thank you.

Charity United States of America

Very clean, comfortable, friendly staff. Kitchenette was awesome.

Edith United States of America

Breakfast choices have been better than oyher hotels I have stayed at lately. Everything we ate was good.

Herche United States of America

layout of rooms was nice. delicious continental breakfast with lots of hot options. kids enjoyed pool and hot tub would definitely stay again!

Kari United States of America

The staff at this hotel were awesome & they have since, helped me get an item back I left accidentally. I would especially like to note, Regina & a manager, who went above and beyond to assist me in our stay & followup.

Marilyn United States of America

I had my new puppy with me and it was great to be on the ground floor near the outdoor exit!

Mary United States of America
