All staff we encounter were lovely, we checked in late due to a late flight into Chicago and checked out early due to starting a road trip. The hotel was clean and we had a nice room. The surrounding areas/car park were a little questionable at times but the hotel and staff themselves were pleasant.

unsafe neighborhood
Upon arriving, I was extremely uncomfortable with the condition and appearance of the surrounding area. Based on what I observed, I did not feel that the location was safe for myself or my vehicle, and I ultimately chose not to check in for that reason.

Unfortunately this hotel was not a good place. The room smelled very heavily of cigarette smoke so badly we couldn’t stay in it. Thankfully the staff gave a refund.
