    I'm pretty lenient with my hotel standards, but this one really just missed the mark in so many…read moreways. We were midway on a road trip and stopped here, and it looked so promising online before actually experiencing it. The car area to drop bags up front is a small semi-circle and a bit chaotic. Cars get stuck easily if just one car up front takes too long. So it's kind of a weird 'welcome' as it is. From there, I think I may've experienced the most checked-out-check-in guy I've ever seen working the counter. It was actually impressive, like a caricature of someone who hates his job. I said hello, he stared at me. I guided him through how to check me in essentially, giving my ID, spelling my name out, and a credit card. He said not a word. I had to ask everything; ok and the elevators are that way? Breakfast is what time? Parking is where? etc. One big draw for this summer road trip with our longest day driving so no matter the weather, we knew they could swim here. Nope, pool was closed and that set everyone off. Girls were like "this trip stinks we wanna go home!" The room was fine, smelled a bit mildewed. Nothing too bad, but just fine overall. The breakfast the next day was poor quality, IMO. The oatmeal was impressive in that it was somehow super watery AND super thick and gummy. The fruit options are minimal, and it's sort of more 1990's continental breakfast than Hampton Inn. I was excited to see hard boiled eggs but they left the shell on and they were super sticky, so that was a one and done. Luckily the staff on the way out was friendlier than the guy before (would be hard not to be) and the hotel luggage carts came in handy. Other than that, very forgettable, and I would definitely go elsewhere next time around despite the nice location for this hotel.

    Service with a smile. Concert in town. Mistake made in reservation. Handled with grace All…read morewhile training someone new. The room is beautiful and spacious can't wait to try out the bed.

    On first glance this looked like a nice place. The exterior had a faux-chateau look, the lobby was…read morespacious, there was a bar, a restaurant, a pool, etc. Sounds good so far, right? Upon arriving in our room - again first glance was okay. But there was a large flickering light fixture in the bathroom, and when we visited relatives in another room the same thing was happening there. Not a deal breaker, but oddly annoying - though not as annoying as the barely lukewarm shower in the morning. Oh yeah - no bathroom exhaust fan either. WHY DON'T ALL HOTEL BATHROOMS HAVE AN EXHAUST FAN? For heating/cooling there was no 'constant fan' option in our room (though our relative's room DID have that feature), which meant overnight the a/c went ON AND OFF loudly on an irregular basis, usually just went we briefly dozed off. And when it was off you could hear every door slam, people talking in the hallway, doors slamming, and people running back and forth down the hall. That is until the a/c went briefly on again. Loudly. We asked the front desk for a fan (to use as some kind of white noise device) but they didn't have one. Pillows were flat and hard, only compounding what was easily the worst night sleep (or lack thereof) I have ever had in a hotel. And I have stayed in a few skeevy joints. The hotel bar apparently closed early on the night we wanted to stop in for a cocktail, so we missed out on that. The whole 'closing early' thing is also a pet peeve of mine. We were told we could not bring our own cocktails down to the lobby, though there was a large table of boisterous teenagers playing poker - so I guess that was ok but not four adults sharing a quiet drink. The room keys were very temperamental - working sometimes and not others. We were told when signing in not to keep keycards near credit cards or they wouldn't work (never had that issue other places, but whatever). Even keeping the key in a separate and empty shirt pocket did not prevent the wonky access issues, which required a few visits to the front desk to have the keycard 'fixed'. Complimentary breakfast was ok, though our party did have some disagreements on the food quality. In all fairness it was about what I was expecting. Short version: noisy, uncomfortable, noisy, and uncomfortable. I can't stress how horrible the overnight stay was here. Sure - your mileage may vary but you have been warned.

    I grew up here and am now back as an adult visiting family. The old 'Jumers' has gone downhill…read more Let me just say this - there is no toilet paper holder in our room. So ya gotta stick your finger in it and unwind the TP. And no hangers for wet towels. Small-ish TV, not able to log into Netflix or other apps like other hotel chains. No real plugs for device charging. Batteries for remote control were sealed in with electric tape. No safe for valuables. No alarm clock. I don't think the bathroom had a ventilator fan. Key cards were temperamental at best. Shower door was a half door, which I believe was intentional, however water ran out onto the bathroom floor. No housekeeping either? You apparently have to request housekeeping, however there's no signs or information at check in about requesting housekeeping. Elevator out of service at end of hallway. I leave reviews about once every two or three years. I felt I needed to leave this one. I had my high school senior dinner here and my fraternity end of year formal here. Those days seem to be over. This is a Wyndham property? Does corporate know about the condition of this hotel? Over 600$ for three nights. First night, Saturday, was 300$. I could have likely had a hotel in downtown Chicago for that.

Turns out we weren't the only trailered vehicle in the lot that night. Check-in was quick and easy. Our second-floor room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfy, but there were only outlets on one side of the bed. The TV was terrible. It took ten seconds to change the channel. The refrigerator in the room was handy, as was the ice machine two doors down. We left before breakfast opened the next morning. I thought the room rate was fair compared to other hotels in town.

The front desk employees have been less than helpful if they are able to be found. The free breakfast was mediocre at best. The food ran out and several patrons had to ask for items to be refilled. The juice machine broke while families with children were trying to get their kids something to drink and the garbage was overflowing. While the hotel has been renovated within the last couple of years, the caulk in the shower looks dirty with a rust like color (and it's not to match the tile). The rest of the bathroom is pretty clean as is our room. The beds are comfortable which is the one positive. However, we will not be staying here again and would not recommend it to anyone. And btw, it's NOT cheap to stay here.
