The room itself was great and the staff very helpful. My only issue is that we had to pay a deposit when we got there and that was not in the information when booking the room initially. It really put a strain on our trip and worried us if we could get back home safely. But they put it back on there quickly so I will give them that. But they need to be upfront about the deposit you have to pay.

This was the worse hotel I have ever stayed in while visiting Chicago. The staff was very welcoming but when we got our cards the lady told me: we had to empty our own garbag & no one will be there to clean our room during our stay. The room smelled used and abandoned and on our second night the tenants were fighting outside of our room around 1am until 4am. No one stopped them or called the police. They were on our room door fighting it was unbelievable. If they gave me a room for free I wouldn’t stay there.

We did not stay at this hotel. The first room we were given had a strong smell of urine that turned our stomach. The next room was musty and stale. We walked out within 7 mins of checking in and went to the Four Points. Complete waste of money and the worst hotel I have ever visited. I will never recommend or book another stay here.

Last minute, late night place to crash. Long, frustrating process to check in late thought the one guy working was doing his best to get me taken care of. Room was adequate for a one night crash but definitely needs some remodeling.

The property is meant for long stays.. so it is not a hotel per se. However, the equipment could have been well maintained. The cleaniness leaves a lot to be desired. There was a roach on the floor when i entered the room. Good points- small kitchen is available. Target is close by. If you do not intend to use it for entire day, then perhaps a good place to crash. Wouldn't recommend to someone without a car (self or rental). I used it to attend a 5 day meeting at Chicago. It served my purpose well.

I liked the location of the property, but the room smelled bad. I wanted to ask for another room, but I went down to the desk and over heard the desk attendant rudely telling some more guest that asked for another room for the exact same reason, that there were none available. I was tired, so I slept in my clothes on top of the covers and left as soon as my eyes opened the next morning!!
