I was there for a wedding, which was walking distance from the hotel. Couldn't ask for better. My only regret is I had to cancel one night for personal reasons as I would have loved to stay another night. From the check-in (kudos to the 9/2 reception folks - Neau...? and a young woman) to checkout (even on the elevator- hotel employees prepping rooms), everyone friendly and helpful. I had a very spacious suit, bed and pillow were extremely comfortable; all very clean. Elevators are slow; I used the stairs a number of times and parking is a challenge. I can't compare to any other hotels in the area but if you want to go in and out with your car, you must leave your license and get a fob to access the gates. I was fortunate to park in the small lot behind hotel and did not move my car until leaving. Breakfast was good; spicy hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, sausages, waffles, yogurt, cereals, fruits, pastry - typical "included breakfast" but all very good. I would stay there again.

I stopped for the night with my partner before we headed to the State Fair the next day, the rooms were great and Breakfast had a lot of variety. The employees we welcoming, the hotel was also very secure as you need a room key to get in the building. It's pay to park in a lot but street parking was free from 6pm-9am so we attempted to leave before then the next day.
