The rooms are clean overall and they do offer parking, just that they don’t offer breakfast, just coffee, and their WiFi isn’t the best either

The tv in the room was broken upon check in, housekeeping kept knocking on our door when I told them I didn’t need them. Wasn’t even time to check out and they were banging and trying to open my door.I took pictures of everything wrong with the room the first moment I arrived and before I settled down. When I checked out the front desk tried to tell me I broke the tv and it doesn’t work. Once I told him I had pictures he stopped that real quick.
- 1/5
The photographs depicting room accommodations were to say the least, hyperbole. Room was stocked with an inadequate amount of towels, all dirty. Desk staff rude. Bedding, insect infested. It is my opinion this “hotel” is merely a money laundering operation.
- 1/5
The lady tried to get me to sign a blank contract where none of the amounts were filled in. And then she said, if I didn't sign it, I would have to go.So I left. She's nasty. I think it's because of that cast system. They have in India. Where If you're not like them, you're a dog.

There was no heat in the room. They said it was going to be fixed but it wasnt. Spend the 3 nights without any heat. Unfortunately I dont recommend staying there.

The room felt like a super cheap motel, the whole property seeemed forgotten about.
- 3/5
I’m going to assume the front desk clerk was still in training when I was checking in because he was having difficulty at the desk. I believe they are in the middle of remodeling because a lot of the rooms were unavailable. When he finally found a room for me it was terrible. Dusty, old furniture, old paint, very dated, only one working lamp and no tv, yes there was no tv in the room! I finally had to ask for the manager and she was able to find a more decent room. The second room was updated and renovated however the tv still didn’t work. I was too tired to go back to the front desk and I’m pretty sure the last room was the best they could do. I entertained myself with movies on my laptop.

The pictures on the site are not accurate. The place is definitely outdated, and lacks cleanliness. From the lobby, to the rooms, to the elevator and stairs. You absolutely feel unsafe in this place and some guests seem to be engaged in suspicious activities.

Bathroom need to be updated
- 4/5
Walking in to the main lobby was a bit scary- just run down and there was a security window before the main door to the lobby. Lobby was worn down and shabby. There were hotel rooms that opened to the outdoors which I don’t like, but there was also an enclosed hallway with rooms which is where our room was. Our hotel room had been remodeled and it was very clean. The bathroom was a bit outdated. The hotel only provided a small bottle of shampoo and no conditioner. There was plenty of soap. No coffee maker but they offered free coffee in the lobby. The parking was fabulous and free. I don’t think I would stay here again just because of the run down vibe, but the hotel was very inexpensive for Chicago area.

Lovely property. My only issue was the air conditioner was extremely noisey and the light sensor for the bathroom was outside the bathroom, so you had to time ⏲️ your use to prevent being suck in the dark. Otherwise, the room was okay and the property was well kept.

This hotel is nothing like what’s posted. Hotels.com should have those photos taken down. It is the most nastiest and uncleanly place I’ve seen. It had stuff running down the walls. Insects. Nasty bathroom. It reeks of cigarettes. Disgusting!!! Don’t fall for it or the price

The outside to get into the room was dirty and littered with empty beer bottles,caps, and plastic silverware. The room was disgusting the tub was black inside the bed comforter was green with a huge stain right in the middle of it the pillows were stained and yellow. I walked out we didn't stay to gross

On day one of my two-day stay, I asked the cleaning lady NOT to enter my room until after I check out "tomorrow". (They offered no method of indicating "Do Not Disturb"). The next morning, two hours before checkout time, she entered my room while I was getting dressed. How frustrating! Why couldn't she wait? Also, I was overcharged from the TOTAL hotels.com told me I would pay. Otherwise, decent stay.

This place was nasty! The room overall was filthy. The sheets were dirty and upon inspection I found blood on the sheets and dried blood and bedbugs on the mattress.

I recently stayed at this property, and unfortunately, it did not live up to the pictures. The room was dated, the bed was uncomfortably hard (I had to request extra sheets), and there weren’t enough towels. There also appeared to be roaches, which was quite concerning. To make matters worse, the fire alarm kept going off during the night, and the staff couldn’t identify the cause, leading to a sleepless night. Additionally, be aware that there is a $100 accidental charge. On a positive note, the property is located in a nice area. I don’t recommend!!!!!!!

The room was surprisingly nice and clean. But the remote control wasn’t even for the tv. We tried connecting an HDMI with our laptop to watch movies. But the remote control didn’t connect to the tv to switch input. It smelled like straight cigarettes and smoke. The outside was dirty. I’m not going to lie, if you’re looking for a place you’ll mainly just go for sleep, definitely stay here. But if you’re looking for somewhere you know you’ll stay and relax for a get away weekend this isn’t the place.

Staff who checked me in was somewhat indifferent, somewhat rude; asked for a ground floor room, many rooms were checked and cleaned out while I was waiting there, but he still refused my request.

Went back to the front desk, adjusted my key, but the room is accupied. Went back to the front desk, i was given a wrong room. It should have been 139 instead of 135. And one of the pillow case has stains, it wasnt replaced.

Although the room was clean and the bed somewhat comfortable, the bathroom was not. There was hair on tub and in the sink , the floor (bathroom) wasn’t very clean , but passable. I wore socks because I was afraid of getting a foot fungus and the bathroom was very small. The front desk staff was not, very customer service friendly , it was job a job to her. The lobby was needing some attention . If there were any amenities , I was not told . So I guess for the value, it was okay,,,just don’t expect much

Some of the people that were living there were not the most pleasant of people and Saturday day night was very loud so we ended up checking out early although the stay was nice no one bothered us I got my deposit back it was just some of the people at the hotel were loud and on drugs the only complaint about the room is the bed looked kinda gross and the door lock was not screwed in all the way. But they allowed my service animal as well so all in all I give it a 3 stars and I would stay here again it was cheap and it was nice & in a good area just some things weren’t up to standards

The guy at front desk (young guy) gave away our room because we didn’t show up earlier. The 6 days stayed was paid already. We told him we could show up anytime since my room was paid off since April. He never apologized or anything. Never again stayed with them. Sine this was our second year staying there, we told him that we will never come back. It seems like he didn’t care.

This hotel was great! My room was clean and comfortable. If you smoke or vape they actually have smoking rooms. It's amazing really since most hotels now are 100% smoke free. I'll be honest...it was nice not having to go out for a quick puff when it's freezing outside lol.The location is walking distance to shopping and dining. Front desk was friendly and willing to help with any questions. Property is close to the highway and easy to find. I would stay here again!

Everything was nice and clean for the most part. I did not tho like that the people next door were noisy and got told nothing and also they were smoking weed and again got told nothing. The smell was strong and in our room made my night horrible because it gave me a headache. The front desk people were polite at first. they definitely should have done something atleast about the smoking. Instead my friend got told to mind her business so that was rude

my room flooded sometime in the night whiole we where sleeping. I guess the toilet continued to fill. something about the float. I am not a plumber, so they could of told me a numerous amount of things and i would not know. But they gave me a towels for the floor at first. then a plunger and finally moved us to the room net store at 2;30 in the morning. Was not fun. Very disappointed.
