“The rooms here come as a surprising size for the cost, and the air conditioning really holds its own, keeping the space comfortably cool. While a touch of renovation might brighten things up, the property's outdoor pool is a welcome spot for unwinding, and the staff generally prove quite accommodating.”
Michael BrownEditor-in-Chief at Usillinois
