Visit to temple

Room was very comfortable and clean. Parking was okay considering the city congestion. Close to Baha’i House of Worship, which was our reason for the visit. Also walking distance from Northwestern University. Lots of places within walking distance to eat. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, especially maintenance.
