Hi There is not much to tell if you are in Bradley or Bourbonnais in that area. I was referring to the old Holiday Inn near Armour that is being refurbished. Both hotels are just off of I 57, one by the mall is north of I 57 and the other is a few blocks south of I 57. I think that is what is confussing people. Your are correct in the resturants near by, in fact they have added a White Casel, TGIF aka Thank Goodness It's Friday, and Loan Star Stake House that I can think of right off hand.
