The walls were all damaged, the TV did not work-WHen I contacted the office, she woman came to fix it-said it was the internet-went to re-set the internet and never came back. The ice machine was broken, the water cooler in the dining area was GREEN! There were sex-workers coming out of the rooms and people smoking right outside my door. Terrible expereince.

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

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
