Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
So disappointed in our stay… I totally understand that it’s a reasonable price. However, the room we were given was disgusting. The sheets had not even been changed, there was a red brown stain and hair all over the sheet. When we went to the front desk to inquire about it the woman said that she could give us sheets that we could change the bedding out ourselves or she had a room that was technically out of order…. We decided to take the out of order room.. but she did not offer to discount our stay or anything. Really terrible customer service and a dreadful experience. Needless to say we will not be staying at another Avid.

Everything but tv/internet is perfect

Everything was great except the tv/internet situation. In other hotels, i can use an hdmi to play from my computer. This hotel has it set to only be able to google cast, which would be fine, except it only worked sparingly.

Easy to get to from ORD and plenty of food around. Nice little breakfast and comfy room. I like the European style and didn't really find anything lacking. Would absolutely stay here again.
