Overnight Stay to Chicago

Our room was supposed to be non smoking and it smelled like someone had been smoking in it five minutes before we got there. That was very disappointing as cigarette smoke is hard for me to deal with because of allergies. Also the air conditioner was set at 65 and the room never got below 72 which just heightened the smoke smell effect. The carpet also had a huge stain in front of the tv. The rest of the room was clean and the staff was very nice and the workout center was good as well. Would have been great without the smoke and the non working air.

Cheap rooms, located next to a park and a scenic steel mill that makes the air smell like rotten eggs. Rooms are big but not well thought out. Typically you would want your "Lake View" rooms to not have the beds pointed the opposite direction of the "lake view". Room was non smoking but smelled like a chain-smoker had been living in it. No amount of air freshener would help. Body wash bottle in the shower was empty which means they do not refill after each guest. No soap to wash your hands with at the sink besides a Shampoo/Conditioner combo. Questionable stains all on the walls and carpets had not been cleaned in a while. Beds felt like the springs were going to lodge themselves into my back all night. Coffee machine in lobby cost $7 for a Mocha with no Mocha. Beach was shut down to swimming due to high bacteria count. Found out it's considered one of the most polluted beaches in the US. Staff were nice and rest of the facilities seemed okay. This place has the potential to be good but it needs some real work first.
