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.

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.

unsafe neighborhood

Upon arriving, I was extremely uncomfortable with the condition and appearance of the surrounding area. Based on what I observed, I did not feel that the location was safe for myself or my vehicle, and I ultimately chose not to check in for that reason.

Found a fake set of eye lashes on my bed, room reeked of cigarette smoke. All the towels reeked of smoke, no appliances, stained walls, cigarette holes in the drapes. Not exaggerating... worst hotel I've ever stayed at. I urge everyone to please go somewhere else. Also when I called to see if they had early check ins, I was answered with a "NO!", in a very rude tone, no politeness. Please don't go here. I wish I would of taken pictures to show proof. I do whole heartedly believe this is the worst hotel in all of Chicago. DO NOT GO HERE!

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.
