Nice place
Our room was very nice! We made use of the microwave and the fridge. However, we couldn't figure out how to use the TV. The staff really made our stay, though. They were incredibly kind and very helpful. Overall a convenient and clean stay.

Great place to crash for the night.
Nice comfortable place. Dont expect all the bells and whistles, the rooms are pretty sparce but we just needed a place to sleep and for that it was perfect. Seemed pretty clean, and my car was safe in the lot overnight. Id look at it again if I'm back in town for another event.

Rated exceptional, I would give it a solid 2 stars
The people were kind. The only negatives were the bathtubs need resurfacing and new towels would be nice.

Not worth $120+ a night. Wouldn’t even pay $50
There was black mold on the ceilings, the carpet was dirty and there was not a working fire alarm.

Budget hotel in every way.
Truly budget no frills nothing but a bed place. Wi-fi not working, no soaps or shampoos in room unless you ask. Parking is okay. Bed comfortable, room clean.

It was great. I lost my key card twice i was given a new one both times. I would like to mention someone was at the desk each time i went whether it 9am or 2am. Staff is great. Quick easy check in and check out. Out of all the inconveniences i faced on my trip to Chicago, this hotel was NOT one of them. Wasn’t my first choice but will probably be on my list when i come back

FILTHY PLACE TO STAY
I checked into a room that was terrible it had a not pleasant odor the bathroom was molded made my skin crawl. So I went to front desk to request a new room only to have been given another room under the same circumstances. The bathroom had black mold, the carpet wasn’t clean nor vacuumed, the bed had burn holes in the sheets and top cover.
Just thinking about it makes my body itch
There were rooms that were newly renovated new blinds fresh paint etc…..and I saw nothing but MEXICANS occupied. I will never ever book with them ever again nor will I recommend anyone to stay there.
ICE NEEDS TO COME RAID THERE ASAP
