This place is terrible. The non-smoking room smells like cigarette so bad we were gagging in it. The floors were greasy, uneven and ruined, the deadbolt for the room didn’t work! So we had a poorly added chain lock for our room. There were drug addicts running around the hall, the walls of the room were full of holes and horribly done patches. The bed was literal springs, the pillows were flat beyond belief. The pool and hot tub were out of order. They don’t give you soaps for the shower. The bathroom sink was dirty and broken. We didn’t even bother trying the shower. The AC unit created humidity all night and this clanking noise that wouldn’t stop. Dogs were barking and scratching at doors. We were never given the Wi-Fi password or told when breakfast would be or how to use any facilities. We felt unsafe here. If it wasn’t after midnight, and we didn’t drive 9 hours, we would have left IMMEDIATELY.

This place seriously needs to be inspected. I travel for work and stay at low tier hotels weekly, this one is not just bad it’s terrible, mice in the rooms, stench is awful, garbage in hallways. Mold on walls, noisy all night. I stayed here one night and you would genuinely have to pay me to sleep here again. STATE OF ILLINOIS GO INSPECT THIS PLACE.

Smelled like a tobacco bar

Got a non smoking room due to being on oxygen. Non cancel . Get there and the lobby smells strongly of smoke and the hallway from hell to the room was very much worse. The room was non smoking but you could smell the smoke from the hallway in it. Got there around 4:30 or so to check in and room was not cleaned yet so we left for a while and came back at 7:00 and the floors had puddles of water on them where they had just finished cleaning.

Don't not stay here!!! This property is truly unclean, no maintenance done on it and very dodgy people in the corridors. One lady looked like she was a crack head. Our room smelt of urine. Mould on all the walls and ceiling in the bathroom. No cover on the ironing board, carpet sticky and filthy. Curtains hung off the rail. Corridors smelt strongly of marijuana. Needless to said we checked out as fast as we checked in. We reported this to Expedia and received a full refund
