The Marriott is another 5 miles west on I-94. I don't know how the access to 94 is from the Marriott, but it takes about 3 minutes to get down Bluemound and Moorland to 94 from the CY. After 7AM, the traffic into downtown on 94 can be slow.
The renovations have not yet included the new bedding, but that's due 4th quarter of this year. The current beds are quite comfortable, though. The pool was recently relined, and they've got a good-sized jacuzzi. The in-house fitness center includes 2 treadmills, 2 stationary bikes, and a Nautilus-like thingy . . . but Bally's access is included. A fair number of the rooms have small balconies.
