Avid was a great hotel! It was super clean and the staff was very friendly. The area is really close to the airport but a bit far off from Chicago city. The area has a lot of food choices and grocery stores nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re fine being a bit far off from the city center!

We have enjoyed our stay alot! The receptionist and the whole staff was very accomodating. We were travelling with the dog and due the exit door noise our dog was barking alot at the night. And they understood the concern and changed our room mid stay. Very often hotel staff dont care about these things. But at avid everybody was very nice and accomodating.

On expedia it stated it was pet friendly. When I arrived they said pets were not allowed. The desk clerk allowed my pet but I was already uncomfortable. The ice machine didn't work. The water fountains did not work. The vending machines had no pricing and barely anything in them. The room smelled absolutely horrible. The bed linens were dirty and not washed. We were sexually harassed entering the hallway to our room by other people staying there. With an employee standing with them. The pool hours are from 3-9 and reopened again after the time to check out. The pool was extremely cloudy and the chlorine was extreme. It burnt your nose and eyes. Pieces of the windows fell off in the pool area while we were there. We were sexually harassed again by other people on the way to the pool with great detail. Smoking was not allowed but in the courtyard there was cigarette butts everywhere. We heard people having loud sex in multiple rooms during the day. We believe now this was an hourly motel. In the bathroom the light above the toilet was filled with water and leaking on the toilet while you was sitting on the toilet and the light was on. Apparently the room above was leaking and this was an extremely dangerous situation. The breakfast was disgusting and my dog backed away from a sausage. That should give you an idea how bad it was. On our way back to my room my daughter was sexually harrased. There are signs written everywhere about people needing to be in their room by a time.
