I really have no complaints. Room was a good size for one person with, bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean. If I did have one comment, there was not a microwave in our room nor was the fridge working; but I did not need either. Everything else was pretty good.

There was an option to text for questions, very convenient. I was able to get an early check in when I requested. Very happy about that.

Five stars all the way. Clean rooms, great staff, quiet environment, and everything you need for a long stay. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in Merrillville
