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...

When you see young folks investing in the community support them. That is the case with this hotel. They are in the middle of a quite extensive renovation. That will mean that not everything is perfect and not all amenities are available yet however because the folks running the hotel are kind and hard working they will do right by you. If you need a cheap and safe place to stay this will do just fine.

I would be cautious of staying here. The staff was very kind and the location of the hotel was convenient and safe. However, the room was clearly not cleaned before our arrival. The bed had clean sheets and no bugs which is why they got a 2 rating and not a 1. But there were spills all over the room from previous guests that were still sticky and used bottles of shampoo in the bathroom, all indicating that perhaps a change of the bed sheets is the only cleaning they did between guests. They are still going through remodeling, so be prepared for that if you stay here. Although, the updated rooms are a little deceiving online. Our room was still very dated, with the exception of the one wall they show in pictures. Unfortunately, I will avoid this hotel in the future and would not recommend other stay here either.

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.
