Bring your housekeeping skills.

Wasn’t advised that I’d have to ask them to dump my trash or clean my room on the weekend. Had to request clean towels.No safe in room. Had to sign so many disclaimers that I asked about thefts. Room was comfortable and clean at check in. Staff were pleasant.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was ok, but not cleaned well. It had a lingering smell that you might expect in a grandparents home. The shower had rust and was not used during our stay. Overall decent if you need it for a night, but wouldn’t recommend for a longer stay given the price.

When every other hotel gouged their rates for the graduation in town, they stayed decent on their rate. Always a reliable location to stay when we visit family. Close to everything. Even with the trains behind the hotel it’s quiet.

I liked the proximity to NIU. The room was nice and clean. The water in the bathroom got hot quickly. The fan and the light in the bathroom was rather noisy however and the light would not come on without the fan which was a slight drawback. But overall, I was pleased with the room and cost of the room.
