My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although the initial room had issues with smoke smell and cleanliness. The service was friendly and accommodating despite some noise from a nearby event. The location was average, not exceptional. The dining options were limited, offering only basic items. Overall, the price was reasonable considering the quality of the facilities and services, making it a decent value for money.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were quite comfortable, with nice beds and flat screen TVs, but unfortunately, they felt a bit dated and not very clean, with a noticeable smell of mold and mildew. The service was friendly overall, but there was some inconsistency, with attentive staff in some areas and oversight in others. The location was decent, especially for visiting Rend Lake, but there were some safety concerns like a metal stud sticking out in the bathroom. The dining options were limited to basic choices, which was a letdown. The facilities were adequate, although nothing stood out as exceptional.
