10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place, conveniently located, Great Staff

I stayed for a couple of nights last month (July 2025). This is a great place to stay. Conveniently located, in a very nice part of suburban Chicago. The staff is super friendly and strive to take care of you. The room I stayed in was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast is good, typical for most places like this, but hot, fresh and good quality. I will absolutely stay here again when in the area.

Great stay. Staff needs to be more knowledgeable about what is around the property. The man at the desk told us there was only fast food around. Within 2 miles we found tons of sit down real dinning restaurants.

What Hospitality Should Be

Friendly, motivated, can-do staff! Always checking if anything is needed, instant fixes to any problem. Sweet.
Ron, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is ideally situated. Its right off the highway and close to Lake Forest College, resturants and stores. The room's furniture has seen some better days, but the room was clean and the kitchen was very useful. I would like to see some useable USB ports in the room for phone charging and the like.
Anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything per standard for a residence inn. We stayed for 3 nights and it was as expected. The location is far from downtown Chicago and hence not a recommended spot if you plan to visit downtown. Traffic to downtown is horrible everyday. Bfast was a repeat for 3 days and no bread was provided only option was to eat bagels or English muffins.
