The hotel is easy distance to downtown with food and to walk to the beautiful lake. You can hear rhe 'El" go by occassionally but it didn't bother me. I thought I had seen somewhere in its website about being more sustainable and not using as much disposable plastic, but I was offered bottled water when I became an IHG member and at breakfast I got metal flatware, but the cups for coffee and juice were plastic-based. I also would have liked bins for recycling paper and bottles. Other than that it was great stay.

One of the front desk clerks refused to put in my IHG membership number on my reservation when I checked in. She claimed because I booked through Expedia and NOT through IHG directly that my stay was NOT eligible. I have never had this happen before. This clerk - Nassima or Sassima - had the worst attitude around. Everyone else was very nice and polite (including the room cleaning staff) but this woman was just AWFUL. She also wouldn’t let any other staff members talk to you if she was there at the counter. Truly unpleasant.
