We were coming to Chicago for a 4 day music festival. Booked the hotel w/o reading reviews for 4 nights. It was cheap. Our expectations were fairly low. Just wanted a clean place to sleep. Upon walking in to the entry way it was about 100 degrees but the lobby was cooler and seemed decent (If we only knew then)... More

Now I really understand the meaning "Looks are deceiving." when you pull into the lot the hotel looks good from the outside. All things changes after you check in and get on the elevator.

Stayed here one night totally impromptu. Pulled off the road because I was falling asleep, and needed rest. Got a room, and was immediately mortified at the disregarded condition of this neglected property. The compound was circumscribed with gang-bangers. Loud rap-music played throughout the night. Ghetto-ho fabulous Hoochie-mamas were everywhere. The front-desk attendant that checked us in, hid behind thick... More

We took a last minute trip to Chicago. We found this hotel and oh Lord. You could hear the freeway outside, traffic noise, the bed was so old that we felt the springs, 1980 called they are looking for their tv's!! The bathroom was so tiny. I mean I could reach wall to wall. I could not close the door,... More

I travel all over the country for work and have stayed in hundreds of hotels. This was the worst. Room was filthy. Dirt and dust bunnies everywhere. Paint peeling everywhere specifically in the bathroom. Bathroom had one full size towel that I'm sure has been washed and reused since 1975 because it was paper thing. Cigarette burns were on the...

Carpet dirty, stained no tp in bathroom, towels like sandpaper. Phone didn't work. No coffee pot, iron ripped from the wall, no coat hangers bugs of some... More
