Very clean rooms. very very comfortable beds and pillows very sweet staff. Their breakfast is decent with a couple hot options however they have a lot of other options like oatmeal, yogurt, bagels, and things like that that will suffice. Housekeeping is outstanding. Highly highly highly recommend especially for the price.

For the price it was ok. Beds were clean. However we checked in with 4 adults 1 child in a suite with 3 beds, 2 had linens, there was only 2 towels. Luckily we had beach towels and extra blankets for the child. Front desk was very friendly and breakfast was on par with other hotels. 1 night we could be ok.

I liked the proximity to NIU. The room was nice and clean. The water in the bathroom got hot quickly. The fan and the light in the bathroom was rather noisy however and the light would not come on without the fan which was a slight drawback. But overall, I was pleased with the room and cost of the room.

Bring your housekeeping skills.

Wasn’t advised that I’d have to ask them to dump my trash or clean my room on the weekend. Had to request clean towels.No safe in room. Had to sign so many disclaimers that I asked about thefts. Room was comfortable and clean at check in. Staff were pleasant.
