I stayed here for an event at Baird Center (Adepticon) because it was relatively close and inexpensive. I'd say stay here if you're ok with not having normal hotel amenities, and don't mind some noise. Parking is limited. Plan to park and not use your car if possible. There won't be hotel staff on duty 24/7, and few typical amenities like fitness room, room service, etc. A card in the room mentioned a housekeeper, but they didn't visit during my stay. Maybe they only come during longer stays? It can be loud with the tavern downstairs. If you're a light sleeper be aware.That being said, the tavern is excellent and I'd recommend it to anyone.The staff at the front desk and the tavern were all very nice and helpful. Good when your keycard stops working at 10pm and you have to get the bartender to fix it! A continental breakfast is included each day- mostly omelets to order and light pastries. I wish it had started earlier, say at 7:00am vs. 8:00, as I often had to be at Baird early. But it was good the one morning I had it. If you're considering this place for Adepticon or another Baird Center event, keep in mind transportation. You don't want to drive and have to fight for parking at the hotel in the evening. There's a bus route nearby, but with poor weather I relied on Lyft which ran about $10/trip and took less than 10 minutes each way. So my verdict: good option if you don't mind a classic no-frills tavern and inn experience, and are a little adventurous with hotel stays.
