Just your average Joe kind of hotel. Photos represent it better than when you experience it all with the naked eye. Upon driving up, I was ready to u-turn and go find something more updated. Luckily, the inside was a bit more renovated. Hotel staff wasn't anything above and beyond. The manager, Gabriel, was helpful though. We had to get our towels from there because they don't bring it up to our room - that was a bit odd but I get it, I guess. They also promised us a $50 gift card for making a BW account and we never go that. I'll be contacting them in regards to the misleading information. The common areas were alright. Nothing magnificent. Breakfast area was tight. Laundry room was a bit sketch. If you stand in the hallways, you can hear everything from behind the doors of any room within 10 feet basically. I do have to say the food was GREAT! We loved the variety & the lady attendants were very kind and intentional with their service. I'd only come stay here again for the food. LOL! Pretty kid friendly as we ran into other young families with babies. Also a few creepy men, so be watchful of that. Location is alright. It's right off the highway, so what would we expect, right? I probably would have shopped for a hotel a bit further into Downers Grove since the suburb area is a lot more polished as I prefer. Safety is key when you're traveling with littles. I'd say this passes pretty well on that. Not the best, but it'll do. Cleanliness, eh...could be better.
