Check-in was easy. It was a family stay I have traveled with small kids by myself.
Their etiquette rules and expectations were very transparent and explained upon check-in. $50 incidentals fee was charged. There are no nasty smells of pot or cigarette smoke. Hallways are very clean and well kept. There is a washer and dryer on the 2nd floor as well as ice/vending machines for a quick snack or drink. At the front desk they offer adult beverages for purchase.
The lobby was clean and well maintained. They have video casino machines on their site. The parking lot was clean, ample parking, and is very well lit. Signs regarding lost or stolen property and not being liable are clearly visible in the parking lot.
Our room was very clean, comfortable, and spacious for a king sized room accommodation. It’s an older styled building that must have been updated so have some grace for the walls and ceilings. I would stay again. I hope the owner keeps updating and improving this property. I also hope that they don’t let it get ran down and keep up and take pride in the cleanliness of their property. We really appreciate the hard working staff that made this a great stay.
About the community it’s tucked off Hwy 294 so super fast access to get around, a small park very close by if you have kids that love to play outside & trail path to walk along the canal, a lot of places to dine along Cicero Ave pizza hotdogs sandwiches etc., and La Stella is a very lovely cafe for coffee.
