the manager kicked out a tourist visiting from canada and left me on the side of the road at 4am in Chicago , a city I have no idea about. I left one day early, the hotel smells, the staff sticks, save your $. my room stayed clogged and was the last to get cleaned despite booking a kings size master

Overall good. If renting for sofabed, don't!

We got a room with a king size bed and sofabed. If you are planning to rent the room to utilize the sofabed, DONT! It's disgusting. I don't believe we got the room per the pictures. The sofabed we got had 2 cushions. The picture of the room we reserved had 3 cushions. It looked like the room was a little under construction, there were no baseboards and made the room look bad. There was a spot where the base board would have been that looked like mold, hard to tell if it was dirt or mold but I believe it was mold. Went to front desk to requested for another room as I planned to use to sofa bed for my kids. Told the lady it was disgusting. She said the room is clean. I said yes for the most part but the sofa bed is disgusting. I told her to go see for herself and tell me if she would sleep on it or let her kids sleep on it. She first told me they were sold out of rooms. I said you have to change me change me to a double queen room. Ain't no way I'm letting my kids sleep on that dirt ass sofa. She finally gave me a other room, but from her facial expression, she really didn't want to. Overall our stay was great. The room was clean, AC was on and room was cold. Bathroom were clean. They provided everything, we requested for extra towels and pillows and they said they didn't have any more. Would I stay again? Yes. I would highly recommend them to not advertise the sofabed. It will only cause problems for the staff and anger the customer.

Worked for an unforeseen lay over. Further than expected from airport, but was inexpensive. Nothing special, definitely an older establishment in need of updates. Lots of noise between rooms.

Ok for a One Night Stay

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel entrance was a bit intimidating and not very welcoming from the outside. Upon arrival, there was a lot of noise and commotion on my floor, and unfortunately, the walls were very thin—you could hear everything going on around you, especially late into the night. The shower was also disappointing, as there was quite a bit of black hair left in the tub and surrounding areas, which made it feel unclean. The pillows were extremely thin, though the bed itself was surprisingly comfortable. If it weren’t for the noise and cleanliness issues, this could’ve been a decent stay overall.

The outside of the property is seriously nasty and unkempt. If we hadn’t prepaid our room we wouldn’t have even gone in. The inside was updated and nice. Curb appeal is a huge zero.

This place is old and outdated. After a week of being there we never saw anybody working or upgrades being done. The pool was out of order and the staff were unwelcoming. The room keys had to be reset almost everyday and the staff seemed annoyed when you complained about it. the front desk ppl were late everyday and the cleaning lady was managing the desk, the food and cleaning. I could not even eat there because she never changed her gloves from touching food to opening doors and touching the desk and other items. Do not stay at this Hotel
