It's fine in a pinch when your money is short
Pros:

Comfy bed
Some staff were nice
Decent looking room
No smells!

Cons:

When I checked in they said it would be coffee from 5-10 but there was none. Certain staff was awful but other staff very pleasant. It was a dirty room in the corners but the bed was comfy. The shower looked scary but did the job! Lots of lurkers around the property that made it uncomfortable. It was hard to close the doors to the room, they would reopen after you closed them.

Good price, but you get what you pay for.
Pros:

I like staying here because of the price and it’s super convenient to get to and from Chicago without Chicago prices.

Cons:

I’ve stayed here plenty of times over the past ten years. This stay was the only one where I was very disappointed. Our bathroom was literally falling apart. The shower curtain rod nearly came out of the wall just opening and closing the curtain. The shower head wasn’t really attached to the wall. A lot of the baseboards in the bathroom were gone, and at one point of it, there was a really big hole where the base covering should be. There were cigarette burns in the bedding. And our window was busted and patched back together with tape.

Felt wronged , violated , and profiled !
Pros:

Absolutely nothing ! Room 128 bathroom
Floor is coming up from its tile , tub looks filthy, staff overstepped their duties! And management was rude and did nothing about it

Cons:

Staff was rude and a housekeeper was caught looking through my belongings and trying to ask my son personal questions!
