Had a great stay and the bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. Our only complaint was parking. There was absolutely zero parking when we got back from a concert and that was due to semis and or trailers taking up multiple spaces:( we had to park over at the tru Hilton hotel and walk over.

Very nice and clean hotel. They also serve a nice continental style breakfast with many options to choose from. The rooms were very spacious and they also offer Netflix plus other apps on television to keep you entertained. So overall, it was a very nice stay at this location.

Family trip in Merriville IN.
Nice average hotel. Door to bathroom was a sliding door with no lock and 22 month kept opening it with other family members in it and without them too. Finally just had to hold her constantly. Also, trash cans very small. Not large enough for a family and kept overflowing.

The only complaint was that there was no parking when we arrived later in the evening. There was a bus that took up 6 parking spaces and a pick up truck with a boat on a trailer that also took up 6 parking spaces. There should be a specific area for these type of vehicles. I had to park along a curb in front of the entrance which was Ok’d by the front desk personnel.

This was a nice place near the highway and close to a mall with lots of restaurants and stores nearby. The baseball tournament fields were only 9 minutes away. There was a good breakfast and the location was safe and clean.

Elevator was broken, not a huge deal with one working. Room 421 wires hanging from window and couldn’t figure out how to lower shades. Overall nice stay.
