"a little off I80"

Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very quiet setting. Very comfortable, I only wish that I could have understood the lady at the front desk better but she was very nice and I wish there was a protein of some sort on the breakfast bar but overall I would definitely stay there again. I also wish they were a bit more Pet friendly but there was plenty of walking space."

"We stayed here with two other families and the house was a perfect home base for the weekend. The kitchen had just about everything we needed, the bedrooms are spacious, and the kids loved the basement as a hang out space. The location is great because it’s not far off the interstate and the house is directly across the street from a huge park. We took the younger kids over to play; nice that it was walkable. Would stay here again!"
