Back at the Doubletree, meanwhile, the hotel's top floor houses a fitness center, spa tub and an indoor pool with breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. And when guests aren't working out, they can access the Internet via their laptops from anywhere in the hotel via wireless cards, even on the indoor pool deck. Hungry guests can get their fills of roast chicken, fish and chips, homemade macaroni and cheese, and grilled pizza in the hotel's Mrs. Park's Tavern and Doughnuts, pastries, fruit juices, and espresso drinks at Blenz Coffee Bar and Pastry Shop. The small and cheerful Down Bar off the lobby offers guests cigars, cheeses, pâtés and stuff from Mrs. Park's.

Meanwhile, suites come complete with separate bedrooms and living rooms, cable TVs, sofa beds, breakfast tables, coffee makers, wet bars and high-speed Internet access.

Families enjoy this Doubletree Hotel because of its spacious two-room suites and indoor pool for the kids. As with most Doubletrees across the country, all guests get warm chocolate chip cookies upon check in. And they're free, too]
