Room was basically clean, beds comfortable, however lots of issues: broken or missing fixtures, broken and cracked floor tiles, chipped and gouged paint on walls and doors. Used towels removed but not replaced. Staff was friendly. Hotel just needs attention to detail.

Staff was great, couldn’t sleep all night hearing some domestic disturbance and then people talking and drinking and being loud, smells pretty bad , heat doesn’t even work in the room they rather spend 20$ on heaters to plug in then air blowing at 90 degrees straight cold air, had a rough night and only slept maybe 2 hours, decided to pack up and leave after not being able to go to bed …. Like I said staff was great 10/10 but I cannot come back or recommend this place to anybody

I loved it! Everything was on point except the pillows lol omg they were terrible it was hollow and like it wasn’t anything in them and it flattened immediately and it wasn’t a microwave in the room but that wasn’t too much of in there issue an inconvenience I might add BUT the staff was really nice the hotel and rooms smelled fresh and inviting and the bed was really comfortable. That is my new go to spot when I go home to Chicago for visits but you if they could just get better pillows that would be great

Overall a great experience!
Overall the hotel is great! We stayed there for the night after attending a concert at Tinley Park, so the location is perfect. I’m taking off a star ONLY because the walls are extremely thin. You can hear everything. At 6am I swear there was a soccer game on the floor above us and full conversation maybe next door or in the hall. Balls were bouncing and shaking everything. Other than that, it was a great experience and would definitely stay there if attending another concert!
