Pros:

Very good area to stay in. Rooms look a little ghetto but the bed is comfortable, no bed bugs, and AC works great. Breakfast sucked with only expired oat milk, watered down apple juice, and bagels for your 1st meal of the day. Staff were amazing tho and super friendly/helpful. Good area for those looking to hike Indiana Dunes National/State Park.

Great team on site!
Pros:

The front desk team was actually amazing. I gave a slight ding because my shower wasn't working quite right, or the hotel has water suppressors on the shower. But otherwise it was a perfectly pleasant stay.

Pros:

After the way I was treated by the general manager, I won't be back. I was lied to, charged for something that I did not do. Was never given a receipt and I have seen no proof of their accusations. I will also be letting my colleges at Canteen Group and Compass USA not to use their hotel when traveling.

Pros:

Very new and clean. Simple bagel breakfast, but I’m ok with that. Unique rockers in common areas. No pool, but a bit cheaper than other hotels.

Pros:

The building itself wasn't bad. But the area had motels and a lot of activity. They lock the doors at 10 because it's unsafe.

Simple and nice!
Pros:

Spark by Hilton, I learned, are other brand hotels re-done by Hilton. So while you don't have some "standard" Hilton designs, it is newly done; carpet, paint, etc. Very comfy beds and rooms. Breakfast is limited but overall fine!

Clean value hotel- freshly remodeled
Pros:

For value priced hotel, it was clean and comfortable. I had an upgraded room with an upgraded price, so mentally I was expecting a little more protein selection for breakfast but the bagel - yogurt bar was fresh and clean.
