    welcoming service
    difficult reception
    unpleasant odor

    The staff did everything they could to help us check in early after our flight arrived. It was a nice touch that made my stay more enjoyable. I felt welcomed during my time there.

    Finding reception was challenging, and the hall had a strong odor that was unpleasant. My experience wasn't great, as it took a while to resolve issues with my reservation.

    frustrating experience

    This hotel offers a surprisingly decent stay away from downtown. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. A free shuttle service was quite handy. However, the Wi-Fi was unreliable which was frustrating. Overall, it provided a good base for exploring the city without breaking the bank.

    prime location
    cold a/c

    Target audience not worth it

    I mean the location is pretty prime, right near some cool places like Shedd. And even when it took us three tries, we finally got a room with cold a/c, felt like a victory after sweating it out in those other rooms.

    It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable.

    Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

    I enjoyed my two-night stay in a Standard King Room. The staff in the lobby were friendly, but had an awkward moment with the front desk about billing. Onsite coffee was a nice perk, but I recommend checking local dining options for better meals. Consider asking about room placement to avoid noise.

    clean housekeeping

    Loved the golf course nearby and the housekeeping was on point. The location right by the lake was a definite plus for us.

    Felt like it was our own home, no reason to complain.

    maintenance issue

    We had a lovely time near Lake Michigan, exploring Hyde Park and enjoying a concert at the North Coast Music Fest. The staff was friendly and accommodating, especially when we needed help with our little baby. It made our stay feel pleasant despite a few hiccups.

    My kids wished for a better maintenance of the A/C. It took three room changes before we got a comfortable temperature. For families, it would be great to have smoother operations for rooming issues.

    decent accessibility
    lack of elevators
    difficult access

    I truly appreciated the comfortable bedding and the beautiful view of Lake Michigan from my room. The accessibility was decent for seniors, though some areas required a bit of walking, which I managed well.

    More elevators for easier access would be helpful.

    Recommend for a whistle-stop

    Comfortable bed, clean room, with decent amenities like free wi-fi and a helpful 24-hour reception. It's conveniently located just 13 km from the city center for easy exploration.

    The hotel appearance does not match typical hotel standards.

    comfortable stay
    close to lake
    spotty wifi

    We loved how close we were to everything, especially the lakefront. We checked out some amazing nightlife spots and even enjoyed a game at the local arena. The service was solid, and we had a comfortable stay. Just remember, it seems like the pool could use some TLC!

    One downside was that the wifi was spotty at times. It was a bit annoying trying to stay connected for our plans.

    cozy room
    coffee machine
    relaxing pool
    noisy air conditioning

    We had a lovely two-night stay, enjoyed the cozy standard king room and the coffee machine in the lobby was a nice touch. The pool area provided a relaxing spot to unwind, and the park nearby was perfect for a stroll. Just a heads up, the air conditioning unit was a bit noisy, but it didn't ruin our stay! 😊

    noisy air conditioning
    minor disturbance

    I had a comfortable stay with a cozy Standard King Room that included a relaxing armchair perfect for unwinding after a long day. The location was fantastic, right across from the lakefront, making it easy to enjoy beautiful views. I appreciated the friendly service from the staff, who were always willing to help.

    The air conditioning was a bit noisy, which made sleeping difficult at times.

    Perfect Location Near the Lake

    Our stay was enjoyable, especially because the hotel is right next to the beautiful Lake Michigan, allowing us to walk by the shore easily. The room was small but comfortable, and we had everything we needed for our trip. The staff was prompt in assisting us with minor key issues, and we were grateful for the free parking. However, keep in mind that the property felt a bit dated, which can impact the overall experience.
