Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room had peeling paint on the ceiling and walls, tv was crooked (very crooked) on the wall mount, broken lamp, unplugged light at bed stand, dirty shower head (very dirty), rust in shower, incredibly small "queen" bed (it was not a queen), nobody on site for support (Nick, the manager, was working remote), lights outside the front door were off and saw two other people trip down the first step exiting out as you couldn't see the first step down, I also tripped and sprained my ankle on the same step. When I finally got a hold of someone in Chicago I was told it was sold out and offered half the price discount....No.... I want the queen superior room I booked and paid for. If I wanted a hotel at that price point I would have just done that and gotten the same quality hotel. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

One of those annoying “hotels” with no staff on site, they send you texts day of, and you have to fill out online forms and take and upload pictures of your ID so they’ll send you separate codes for the front door and your room.

Was locked out of my room multiple times as the door code didn’t work and no one is at the front desk or answers the phone. The only silver lining was a phenomenally warm and kind employee named Ashem (I think) who was a groundskeeper or handyman.

I liked it because it was convenient to transportation and I to liked the coffee bar where I could have as much as I wanted. The only thing I didn't like was that I had a hard time with the door Locks

I checked into this hotel and it was extremely dirty. Stains in the carpet in the bedroom. Dirt ring around the bathtub, marking on the walls, paint chipping, and a very poor AC system. It also reeked of a very strong spray paint smell. Additionally, the walls are very thin and you can hear everything happening in the very tiny rooms next to you. You can get way more bang for your buck elsewhere..

Its a very decent price for a lovely place. Soap is included but a few amenities are a little poor like drinkable water in the rooms, lack of easy control over the lighting, and needing a couple chairs instead of the one for a couple's room. Eating in the hotel for a romantic night is always a possibility, and no one wants to stain the bed. That said the place was very clean and gorgeous, with good wifi, easy walking distance to wonderful ethnic restaurants, and the bed was quite comfortable, the provided soaps of good quality, and a solid deal for the price.

Location is really good but amenities could have been much better, i got no coffee refills in my room after the first night so had to go get some, the check in procedure was confusing and all online, there was hardly ever any staff at the front desk over 4 days and you get into the hotel and your room with a 5 digit code, no key which is very weird.

The hotel and location was overall good. The only issue is that there are no staff members present at the hotel. There isn’t anyone you can contact because they won’t answer you.
