It has no dining room or bar, but they do serve a rather large selection at the free breakfast buffet. Several restaurants are nearby. BOURBONNIAS (KANKAKEE/BRADLEY) HolidayInnExpress Hotel&Suites >> A bit of an update: I called the 800 number and also attempted to make a reservation on line, to no avail. Messages were that the hotel was full. So I called the hotel directly (815-932-4411). You guessed correctly, they do have rooms available. AARP or Priority Club rate is $70.20 for a room with king size bed. The Bovies Lancaster, PA sandy2b@aol.com bobbovie@aol.com
