the manager kicked out a tourist visiting from canada and left me on the side of the road at 4am in Chicago , a city I have no idea about. I left one day early, the hotel smells, the staff sticks, save your $. my room stayed clogged and was the last to get cleaned despite booking a kings size master

Overall good. If renting for sofabed, don't!

We got a room with a king size bed and sofabed. If you are planning to rent the room to utilize the sofabed, DONT! It's disgusting. I don't believe we got the room per the pictures. The sofabed we got had 2 cushions. The picture of the room we reserved had 3 cushions. It looked like the room was a little under construction, there were no baseboards and made the room look bad. There was a spot where the base board would have been that looked like mold, hard to tell if it was dirt or mold but I believe it was mold. Went to front desk to requested for another room as I planned to use to sofa bed for my kids. Told the lady it was disgusting. She said the room is clean. I said yes for the most part but the sofa bed is disgusting. I told her to go see for herself and tell me if she would sleep on it or let her kids sleep on it. She first told me they were sold out of rooms. I said you have to change me change me to a double queen room. Ain't no way I'm letting my kids sleep on that dirt ass sofa. She finally gave me a other room, but from her facial expression, she really didn't want to. Overall our stay was great. The room was clean, AC was on and room was cold. Bathroom were clean. They provided everything, we requested for extra towels and pillows and they said they didn't have any more. Would I stay again? Yes. I would highly recommend them to not advertise the sofabed. It will only cause problems for the staff and anger the customer.

Worked for an unforeseen lay over. Further than expected from airport, but was inexpensive. Nothing special, definitely an older establishment in need of updates. Lots of noise between rooms.
