I liked the convenience of the property as it is near to my family's home and also shopping and dining. They also served a very adequate breakfast each morning. The only thing I did not care for was that they did not service our room daily. They did not make the beds, clean the bathroom or change out the used towels. Also, the grade of the toilet paper was extremely flimsy and cheap.

altho the property was under renovation we were never disturbed by construction noise or dirt. The elevator was not working, and staff carried our bags upstairs. Our room was renovated and very clean, with comfortable beds and nice shower. The breakfast selection was very good, and the eating area was clean and pleasant.

Clean, comfortable, friendly and convenient.

Clean, friendly, convenient and comfortable. I stay each time I visit my parents in a nearby retirement home. It never disappoints. Added benefit of walking trail at Lake Zurich across the road and walkable Starbucks and Dairy Queen.
