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.

One employee was particularly extremely hard to work with, accommodate and we ended up spending more than initially agreed to. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, TV is hooked to wifi and is extremely spotty.

The place was very noisy and occupants keep on shouting often at night time. Also, even though we selected non-smoking room, it smells very smoky when we entered in it.

We needed the room or we have probably left. The area was dirty and loud. There was blood droplets on the floor by the bed. There were other “guests” yelling and playing loud music right outside our door as late as 4:00am. Oh, my buddy who got the bed had bed bug bites all around his ankles in the morning.

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.
