The room was clean but it was very small. The sink was separate from the shower & toilet.
The breakfast was just ok. Not a large selection compared to other Comfort Inns that I have stayed at.

For the price it was ok. Beds were clean. However we checked in with 4 adults 1 child in a suite with 3 beds, 2 had linens, there was only 2 towels. Luckily we had beach towels and extra blankets for the child. Front desk was very friendly and breakfast was on par with other hotels. 1 night we could be ok.

The room was dirty, and had not been cleaned since the last occupant at the advertised check-in time of 3:00. The curtain and air conditioner had mildew or mold on them. The sheets weren’t tucked in tight and had yellow stains under the pillows, making us wonder if they had been changed at all. Also, the room smelled of bug spray. We did not end up staying there, although the manager and staff were very nice anddid offer us a different room.

I booked this hotel because it has a pool and that was really important to our family. I arrived to find the pool was permanently closed. The room was clean but it smelled bad.

Room was ok, but not cleaned well. It had a lingering smell that you might expect in a grandparents home. The shower had rust and was not used during our stay. Overall decent if you need it for a night, but wouldn’t recommend for a longer stay given the price.

I liked the proximity to NIU. The room was nice and clean. The water in the bathroom got hot quickly. The fan and the light in the bathroom was rather noisy however and the light would not come on without the fan which was a slight drawback. But overall, I was pleased with the room and cost of the room.

The location was ideal - that's the one thing this hotel has going for it. We attended an event on campus, and it was conveniently located across from the NIU stadium. However, we stayed on the first floor and our curtains were broken, so we were unable to close them and we spent the entire night flooded with lights from the building's exterior. The faucet's hot water didn't work, and the shower drain was missing its plug. I understand wear and tear and we didn't expect luxury. The deal breaker, though, was a safety issue. We returned from our event late at night and nobody was staffing the front desk. A man solicited my daughter and me in the lobby and we had to walk past him to reach our room. All in all this stay was an unnerving experience.
