"Fabulous Stay"

We came for the Chicago marathon and the amenities were wonderful. The room was clean and quiet. We enjoyed that the bathroom area had a separate doors for privacy especially while sleeping. It was a pleasant surprise to find additional amenities after we checked in like free pasta dinner the night before the race and recovery aid the day of the race. Thank you for making my marathon weekend exceptional.
