Clean rooms
Friendly staff. Clean rooms. One wing being remodeled, so materials stacked in hallways in places. Also due to remodel, "breakfast" was granola bars and small packaged muffins. Plan on eating breakfast elsewhere.

Don't stay here still they are done renovating
Very disappointed with the stay here. They said they had a pool and hot tub, both were closed for an extended time and they have not updated their records. Also, they said they serve breakfast - it was packaged tiny muffins or granola bars! I also had a lot of pubic hair in my shower drain and there was a cockroach on my bed when I was leaving.

For 1 night its ok
It was being redone, the pool didn't work, the bed was hard and the lack of pillows was stupid , the were so old and flat , they never should have been used on the bed. My husband and I made 1 pillow with the 4 small very flat ones and it was still pathetic. The air conditioner was very loud we couldn't turn it on. Not to mention the nasty green color in the bathroom and the vent that was so dirty it was gross. No blow dryer , lack of towels and the TV was not adjust right and you had a small picture and it cut half the picture off. We couldnt get it to adjust. I wish I had gotten pictures...

They gouged the prices $300 for the weekend because of the college game. The property has a lot of nerve to charge this amount of money for the type of room they have. It is a bare bones room with no amenities. The TV did not work on arrival, they had to come up and fix it. The fuses kept blowing (we only had the tv on so it must be connected to other rooms?) and we were without lights in the bathroom and sink/vanity area all night and morning. The key cards did not work for the outside doors so you had to park in the back because there only a few spots up front and walk around the entire building to get back into the building at the front. It is at best a $65 a night room. They gouge the families visiting the college. Beware!

A great deal of construction was going on. When I needed something from the front desk, they were attentive. The facility was a little bit compromise during my stay.

This hotel is so overpriced for the quality of their rooms. The room was dirty and so poorly decorated. The beds and bed linens are absolutely appalling and even get me started on the pillows. I don’t even know what size to label them. The pillows were half the size of a standard pillow and completely flat. The shower door had so much soap scum build up and the caulk was full of mold. If you’re a light sleeper you will be up all night like I was. The sound from the adjoining room was so loud. For the price I paid for this room for ONE night I could have booked a suit in downtown Chicago.
Consider this place as your absolute last resort. This place is not a hotel, but a motel. I’m so disappointed and feel absolutely cheated for what I paid. I wish I could post the pictures I took so you can see with your own eyes.

The STOP WORK notice (dated 6/28/24) on the front door was an immediate red flag. There was no room cleaning or towel service unless requested, but there was no notice about this. Coming back from a long day of work ready to hit the shower and being greeted by the same pile of dirty towels we had left was how we learned of this.
The pool was closed.
The front desk had plywood panels for sides.
Breakfast fare was awful coffee and two prepackaged snacks. Only tea available was green tea. Our first morning we were greeted by a sloppy wet floor in the entire eating and check in areas - they were mopping during “breakfast” hours.
The front desk staff was pleasant and helpful, but that was the only good thing I can say.
The rating on Hotels.com was very misleading. I would never stay there again.

Room furnishings in poor worn condition, uncarpeted floors needed swept. Multiple electrical outlets were loose in the wall. No "Do Not Disturb/Service Room" sign available for room. No maid service was provided. Loud late-night activity on second floor above room not addressed by hotel staff.

Will not stay again
I was very disappointed when I arrived. It was NOT clean. The furniture was in bad condition. The sheet had a stain the walls were dirty and it smelled. I had to ask for a floor mat for the shower. Towels were not in good condition. Shower had mold on the frame. I know it was more economical but to be honest it can be a simple place but clean.
