The room was spacious and looked clean and modern. We coundnt figure out ehy we didnt have cold water in the sink, and the soap dispenser wouldnt dispense. We told a staff member about our concerns and the problem with the water wasnt looked at. They gave us some courtesy soaps to counter the broken dispenser. My husband found on the second day that someone had just turned off the cold valve under the sink, but it was disapointing that no one seemed to help us with this. We also found a hair tie in the soap dispenser. It was nice to have the courtesy breakfast. It was simple but good.

The photos of the hotel are misleading. The hotel is really just a painted run down motel with remodeled bathrooms. The beds had someone’s hair all over the pillows and linen. The bathroom light constantly flashed on and off even after I requested the light to be repaired. I requested fresh towels and some man with no form of identification came to my door and said “these are all the towels we have for tonight.” and a joke about how flimsy the door to my room was. This place is fine for someone who has no place to stay or just wants to take a hooker for a night. It’s definitely not for a family looking to spend some vacation time in Chicago. I was just looking for a regular hotel to stay for a couple of days. Instead I was embarrassed to have my family stay in a place my son referred to as a “0 star hotel”.

You need to remove this location as an option to reserve from your site. I trusted Hotels.com when this affordable hotel came up, however it is extremely UNSAFE. We did not even stay for our 2nd night out of fear. Hotels.com should provide a refund for the night we couldn't stay at this absolutely dirty and unsafe location.

Is it the Hilton? No. Is it in budget and the room updated? Yes. I saw the mixed reviews and was nervous but once we got in the room we was pleasantly surprised.

While the staff was actually helpful, the company should be ashamed of themselves for the deceiving photos that are on the site. Nothing looked anything like the photos we viewed. My partner and I thought we would be pulling up to a small hotel based on not only the photos but the price. We could have stayed at a Holiday Inn for the price. But what we got was a cheap motel experience. A Motel 6 would have been more updated and tidy. It made do for the 2 nights we stayed there before our Air bnb. But this place is not as appears in photos AT ALL.

Lacking the Basics

Room was booked as non-smoking and although signage indicated it was, the room smelled of smoke and there cigarette burns in the bathroom. Blankets on the beds had cigarette holes burned through them. No handles, bars, soap or shelves to put anything on in the shower. TV was next to useless ... It was a streaming TV but clearly the owners don't provide internet capable of supporting streaming TVs. The room was clean though.

The property was loud and did not feel welcoming. Another family tried to enter my room at 1:30am in the morning because they were given the same room. Then the manager knocked at the door asking how I entered the room and when I presented the key I received at the desk he apologized and explained that my stay had not been entered into their books. In the morning I had to wake the manager to drive us in the shuttle to the airport.
