Pros:

Breakfast was not advertised, but we would not have eaten any food offered here.

Cons:

Room/floor was not very clean, had a very strong cannibas odor. We even had our own air purifier going in the room and it would not remove the odor.
Neighborhood is not ideal for people who don't live in big cities. The traffic is busy and loud all night long. People were shouting outside the rooms, and in rooms around us. One person even knocked on our room door at 6am looking for someone...
There was drug parafinalia laying around in the parking lot and people walking around the streets obviously tweaking on something... Not a very safe place to take a family if you are staying outside Chicago. Would not recommend, and would never go back again. Would honestly rather sleep in my own vehicle than stay here again. Especially for the price.... Pictures show what room looked like brand new, not in current condition. Beware...

the location is straight up scatchy, and is not worth the money at the slightest.
Pros:

the room was ok but still overpriced for the services provided

Cons:

the location is straight up scatchy. I would not recommend to especially anyone travelling with familly. Both taxi drivers of mine were suggesting to not wander outside at all.

Pros:

Disponibilidad

Cons:

Everything was fine except for a couple who were staying on the second floor and fighting. They kept us awake. It was awful to hear their shouting and stomping.
