Review Highlights

Pros:
Friendly/polite staff
Clean rooms reported by many
Good location for NIU / quiet
Comfortable beds and working AC
Good price / value for many guests
Quiet property
Cons:
Breakfast consistently criticized (sparse, stale items, waffle maker gone)

Pillows not supportive and room assignment/booking issues
Noise from other guests (upstairs walking) for some stays

Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Many reviewers reported clean rooms, towels and good water pressure, but there are several notable cleanliness issues (mildew/mold smell in one room, a stained tub, reports that some floors need shampooing).
Service
8.5
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, polite and helpful in multiple reviews; a few isolated complaints about an unfriendly receptionist and booking blame between third parties.
Location
8
Multiple mentions that the hotel is conveniently located (close to NIU) and quiet/out of the way as a positive; a minority noted it was far from the city depending on needs.
Room Quality
7
Generally comfortable rooms with working AC and good beds for many guests, but some complaints about unsupportive pillows, occasional odors, and variability in requested room assignments.
Amenities
6.5
Amenities are mixed: a pool/hot tub exists and is liked by some, but the pool was sometimes closed, the hot tub had issues for at least one guest, fridge access was restricted and the property feels dated in places.
Value for Money
7.5
Several guests praised the price and said they would return if rates stay similar; a few negatives around extra charges or not receiving requested room types.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Consistent complaints about the breakfast offering: limited selection, stale cereal, waffle maker removed, no hot items or yogurt in several reports — overall the weakest area.
Overall Experience
7.5
Most stays were described as pleasant, quiet and suitable for an overnight or NIU visit; mixed issues (breakfast, occasional cleanliness and booking problems) temper an otherwise positive experience.

Excellent location and very good price for the room. Will be back again and again if price remains
Pros:

Room was comfortable. AC worked well.

Cons:

Breakfast used to be better. The waffle maker is gone. :(
Wanted a first floor room, but couldn't. This is my 5th visit and I still haven't been able to book a first floor room.
