We just needed a pet friendly stopover on our way to Chicago. They did not even have a lobby, just an office. I felt like I was interviewing for a job rather than checking into a hotel as I was seated at a desk across from the employee as I filled out the paperwork. She told me the front desk closes by 11:00 p.m. but said that there was "someone" who would be around. Not sure what that meant.
Room was on the first floor and was a handicapped equipped studio suite. Bedding was subpar, lighting poor, decorations, furniture and accessories all low quality. We had to prop the tub drain open with a spoon, otherwise it would not drain if you were taking a shower. Sure hope I didn't get charged for that! You do get a lot of space for the $70 we paid for the night, but it almost seemed expensive compared to the value received. (Especially since on our return trip, we stayed at the Homewood Suites across the street) Yes, we paid $35 dollars more but got a beautiful room, top quality bedding, granite countertops, hot breakfast, hot supper, beer/wine, restaurant menus, and a full service staff.
The kitchen was equipped with the mere basics, if that. Don't think I could actually cook a meal here as it lacked the proper utensils/pans Considering this place is designed for longer stays, it would have been nice to have a restaurant guide/menus, indicating some delivery places. The location was good. There were plenty of eateries and a large grocery store nearby. I wouldn't stay here again, unless I was in a snowstorm and it was the only place available. There are just too many other, more favorable options for lodging.
