The room was very clean and the check-in/check-out staff were very friendly.
There was a cheer competition at the NIU convocation center so there were a lot of children. We could hear them in the hallway at midnight, but that didn't ruin our stay.
Breakfast was very nice.
Very nicely remodeled with great, updated decor. Friendly staff. Good breakfast with biscuits and gravy, waffles, eggs, cereal. Good dark roast coffee. There’s a great walking trail across the street.
