I was traveling to Chicago from the St Louis area and decided to stay because the roads were getting very bad. I was able to get a room for $89 on a Winter Gate-a-way special. The room is a studio style efficiency with a full kitchen, a living room area with a fireplace, desk area, king size (very comfy) bed, and of course a bathroom. There was a complimentary fire log in the room to use and additional logs available to be purchased at the front desk. I couldn't make it home that evening, but this was a great place to rest for the evening. The next morning there was a complimentary breakfast that was very complete. They had everything from cereal to waffles, pre-made omelets and breakfast meats to yogurt and fresh fruit. I can’t imagine the other hotels I called which were $40 more provided such a comfortable environment. Although I didn’t take advantage of these features I do know there is a complimentary happy hour and limo service. (It’s a real limo, not a van!).
