Third time and as always excellent service. The room always ready always clean. The check in quickly, check out as well. The staff is so helpful and kind. I never reserve any other hotel when I come to DeKalb from Puerto Rico.
They gave me a key to a room that was not made up yet. However, the staff quickly remedied that and moved me to a suite. While not luxurious, it was clean, quiet, with good heat control, comfortable shower, etc.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The property is old and worn looking, but the room was clean and comfortable. The outside entry for each room felt a little unsafe as there were several people loitering around on the second floor. There are train tracks right behind the property and the trains run frequently, so it’s noisy.
