This is real value for money!
I have never written a review while still IN the hotel before but I feel compelled by the nature of the place and the staff, Quite clearly the negative comments of 5 years ago spurred the owners into life and they really have made a silk purse out of a sow's ear! I have never had a hotel room in a capital city at such a reasonable price for such high quality. Sure, it hasn't got a pool...big deal, Lake Michigan is a couple of blocks away if swimming is what you go to a hotel for. I go for comfort, security, friendly staff and access to the main attractions. All these are available without question. From reception greeting me on arrival (thank you, Albert), through to any question I had, be it ever so trivial, I was treated with total courtesy and respect...and the guys on the desk actually know what they're talking about. This hotel should be the flagship of Days Inn, it's nothing fancy to look at but everyone is there for your satisfaction. Rooms immaculate, comfortable beds, adequate breakfast, free wi-fi and buses into town outside your door. I agree, if I had a car, valet parking is expensive but this is a big city....the car is not welcome, there is no space! Come on, try it, for the money you won't be disappointed and if you are then they will want to know about it - they really care!
