Great location and beautiful hote.
The room was amazing. Lake view with a fireplace (non functional). Great service and location for my wife's graduation ceremony from Northwestern. Our 2nd stay there and we love it.

Cozy, convenient hotel.
Nice, cozy hotel. Website said restaurant was open all day, but in fact it was closed from 10 am - 5 pm and only had limited breakfast options. Staff was nice, and responsive to our requests.

Chandler was a gift. He went the extra mile to resolve a booking problem, not of Hilton creation. He gives Hilton a good name. It would be in your best interest to do what ever is necessary to keep him. My I suggest a bonus and/or a promotion.

Loved this hotel! Was worried based on some of the reviews… about the food and elevator and stairs…..but the food was delicious-so good that we ate breakfast daily AND the stairs, should you take those instead of the elevator are no big deal! The decor made you feel like you were in an established old world club. Staff could have not been friendlier. Bikes were a treat too!
