We stayed in this hotel for just one night one our way from MN to IL. We got in late and when we walked in, the room smelled horribly of smoke. Unfortunately, our kids had already gotten into bed (it was 10:30pm and they were tired!) so when we called to switch our room, they would not change it since we touched the beds. The room was extrememly clean looking and was very new, great set up and I think would have been at the top of our list to come back, except for the smoke smell. I am not sure why they opened it up as a partially smoking hotel and then change it a year later. We were told that they were in transition of changing smoking rooms to non smoking...my thoughts are not to advertise it as a non smoking room if you havent made the entire updates needed to take out the smell. The pillows and the blankets were thick with the smell and that is why I rated the sleep quality so low. Overall, we loved the hotel..just not the smell. If you stay and do not like the smell of smoke, I would call and request a room that has been smoke free since the opening.
