Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very nice. Beds were painfully springy and hard. One room had a heater that wouldn't come on but they brought a space heater which over heated and the windows would not open nor central unit air come on. Other than that the place is beautiful and neighborhood nice.

Beautiful rooms that are close to the lake and about 15 minutes from the train (CTA Purple line). It's a nice quiet escape north of Chicago.

Wonderful place to stay!

What a fun place to stay! Room was spacious, service was excellent, and we loved the front porch! Just a few suggestions.....better coffee in the rooms The instant coffee didn't work for us. And pillows were too stiff, but other than that...so much to like! Would definitely return!
