This place has been one of the more enjoyable hotels I've been in.  It isn't that great in that the rooms are fantastic, but they are roomy, comfortable, and the cable television is decent with channels like ESPN, MTV, HBO, and other channels.

But, I think what makes this hotel enjoyable was the service and the continental breakfast.  Now, the continental breakfast isn't the best, but it was decent enough with a waffle iron (with batter in cups), a juice machine, coffee, options of egg & cheese biscuit or a sausage sandwich, both from Jimmy Dean for microwaving, muffins, toast, eggs, donuts, apples, oranges, and cereal.  I'm not sure what's else.  But, those were options instead of just danishes or donuts by themselves.

The service staff there is very friendly and very helpful.  Like some other hotels, they have deals with local taxis.  One night, I needed a ride to Chicago to meet up with some cousins.  The front desk hooked me up with a cab to Chicago for $42 one-way flat rate from Lombard to Chicago, a 39 minute ride.  Very awesome.  The cabbie was cool and talked about Chicago and some history on it on the way to my destination.  

So, the draw backs to this hotel is that it is located outside of Chicago, being in Lombard. Lombard is about 39 minutes away from Chicago and all.  

But the location is near the 355 tollway. Its about 15 minutes north of two towns Oak Creek and Hinsdale by route 83, which has malls and stores.  Its near a Walmart on route 53, and Target, White Castle, Dunkin Donuts, Portillo's Hot Dog, Harley Davidson shop, McDonalds, Burger King, and various other services are nearby courtesy of being located on North Avenue.  

When I was there, I stayed at the suite, which, to my experience, was much better than the Burbank Hilton in Burbank, California.  More room, more space, better set up.  There was a fridge, a microwave, as well as the other amenities in this hotel, and I don't remember any of that stuff with the Burbank Hilton.  Hm.  

This has got to be one of my most boring reviews ever. Sorry!
