The outside of the property is seriously nasty and unkempt. If we hadn’t prepaid our room we wouldn’t have even gone in. The inside was updated and nice. Curb appeal is a huge zero.

This place is old and outdated. After a week of being there we never saw anybody working or upgrades being done. The pool was out of order and the staff were unwelcoming. The room keys had to be reset almost everyday and the staff seemed annoyed when you complained about it. the front desk ppl were late everyday and the cleaning lady was managing the desk, the food and cleaning. I could not even eat there because she never changed her gloves from touching food to opening doors and touching the desk and other items. Do not stay at this Hotel

Reliably decent with complementary breakfast. Near the airport and not far from the Rosemont metro station. The pool has been out for years, but we go for the location and the feeling of safety and cleanliness.

No thank you.

The hotel had an unpleasant odor. The carpets were filthy. There were bags of garbage in the hallway. The pullout bed had unidentified pills laying in it. No sheets for it either. Staff was kind, but completely disengaged. Just an all around gross experience.
