I found this hotel on the Marriott website, as it is a Marriott sister hotel. It was $70 per night in July, 2008 booked directly through the website. The $70 rate gave us the smallest rooms they had available (I can't quite remember how they were termed now), but it was plenty of room for two people. I laughed when I heard the descriptions "European and cozy," but that's exactly what the room was. It was very nice for my boyfriend and me. I liked that instead of the cumbersome (and usually disgusting comforter) they made the bed up with linens which were practical for summertime. The bathroom was basic, but definitely clean. Everything seemed to be painted nicely, and there were no worn areas or bad carpet, or any of the usual complaints people make about hotels. It's about 30 minutes to downtown with no traffic. Breakfast was pretty limited only providing donuts and pastries and cinnamon toast and then some fruit and waffles which you make yourself (no one was making them). Not terrible, but could've been better. Lovely Albanian people seem to run the hotel. The indoor pool is very small, but nice for summer. It would've been nicer if it were outside. This was a very nice stay overall.

The location is along the highway. A quick jump to my customers in the area, and down to the mall area for dinner out.

I am booking another trip, and will stay there everytime.

The premises is very nice and the grounds are well maintained. The foyer is very attractive and clean. I had a junior suite, which was very comfortable and clean. The king size bed was in excellent condition and a sufficient number of smaller pillows were supplied. The junior suite is an upgrade from the standard room due to the addition of a small refrigerator and microwave. I used neither. The bathroom was very clean and well equipped. The only negative I could find was that the bath towels were not very soft, and were not comfortable to use when coming out of the shower. The continental breakfast was above par. A waffle maker was available at two stations, which made for a more memorable breakfast.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone, given the Marriott name. I will rebook with them the next time I am in the area.

Booked with AAA, so I got a nice little discount...we came after a concert, totally exhausted. The woman who checked us in was really sweet and fast (she even knew where my boyfriend had gone while I was checking in!)
The pool and hot tub were wonderful, especially after that hard show! Even though it was closed, we snuck in anyway...and no one said anything! :)

The rooms, halls, pool...everything was really clean...yeah, some wear on the tubs are starting to show, but I'm weird and pick out little details of things...most people probably wouldn't have noticed.

The breakfast was AWESOME! You could make your own waffles! They also had an assortment of bagels, donuts, and muffins with a toaster, as well as hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal, cereal, several juices, coffees, tea, and hot chocolate.

I was extremely pleased with this hotel and would definitely go again. (Oh, and take the hotel's directions on how to get there from Chicago, vs. GoogleMaps - it's more direct.)
