Rated exceptional, I would give it a solid 2 stars

The people were kind. The only negatives were the bathtubs need resurfacing and new towels would be nice.

Things that didn’t work in the room: tv, vanity lights, fridge, microwave. Asked staff to bring extra towels and whoever brought them took my perfume on their way out. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.

It was great. I lost my key card twice i was given a new one both times. I would like to mention someone was at the desk each time i went whether it 9am or 2am. Staff is great. Quick easy check in and check out. Out of all the inconveniences i faced on my trip to Chicago, this hotel was NOT one of them. Wasn’t my first choice but will probably be on my list when i come back

Love the free airport transport. This is a MOTEL. I thought it was a hotel. Scary part of town. Lots of noises from cleaning/laundry/maintenance , as well as surrounding area.
