Parking is right next to your room. Shortest / lowest toilet I have ever seen. Room was smaller than it appeared online. Microwave was old and didn't function properly. When asked where is a good place to eat they suggested Eat of Chicago pizza....

The room was just OK. Not enough to warrant the price tag. The room is a $60 room and they charged $120. While checking in the gentleman acted like he couldnt be bothered to answer any questions. Not very social or helpful. While checking out the young lady was nicer.
