There was chew cups, blunt wrappers, cigarette and cereal left in the room..so leave me to believe the room wasn't cleaned and the bedding was dirty! Wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone

Pubic hairs in the bathroom
Pros:

It was so terrible the door was kind of broken and had lock rigged on it did not feel safe at all then I go to the bathroom and there are someone's pubic hairs on the toilet, floor and bathtub you could see stains on every piece of furniture in there. the curtains didn't even cover the whole windows so people could look in at you overall a terrible experience we never even unpacked we went and canceled the reservation and instead of canceling it the receptionist charge my card a second time never again

Pros:

This was the worst decision I’ve made... the whole placed smelled like weed and smoke. They didn’t even have air freshener to help me spray down the place. I asked and she didn’t even a) have any at all or b)ignore my request.

I wouldnt go there .. I didn’t even go under the covers ... I made a pillow with my jeans jacket and regular jacket and slept on the bed. Never again...

Pros:

Good price, good location, big bed and a tv. I came from out of town to see a concert at Reggie's just a short Uber away. No complaints. As long as you are open-minded and realistic with what you are paying, this is a great bargain.

Pros:

I came from Nigeria for a conference. The venue is about 8 mins drive away. Therefore I needed a cab to drop and pick me up. The hotel management connected me with a driver that I trusted and was very helpful to me. The Manger of the hotel displayed high sense of hospitality and was always there to attend to our my needs. Another aspect I liked was the restaurant right next to the Inn. Great times indeed at Chicago. Capt Maigaskiya

Do not stay here
Pros:

This was easily the worst place I've stayed in, and for ~$120 per night.

I booked through hotels.com, and when I arrived to the front desk, it took the woman 30~ minutes to sort through paper printouts to find my online reservation. I showed her my email confirmation, my hotels.com confirmation, my credit card notification (with charges from Amber Inn), and the woman didn't believe me until she found her paper printout. She calls her coworker and starts cursing and insulting them.

I finally get my key, and I walk toward my 'non-smoking room.' I check the room for working lights, water, any visible bugs near the bed, and what amenities are offered. There's a minor musky odor, which smells a little like bad marijuana, but I ignore it because it might be the next room.

No shampoo. No toothpaste. No hair dryer. Just 2 bars of soap. I call the front desk and she said, "ok, I'll have someone bring shampoo to your room." No one shows. 20 minutes later, I walk down to the front desk myself, and she tells me that they can't find the hairdryer, but that they have the shampoo. She radios in to the person she sent to find the shampoo and hairdryer, cursing at him, and then he says there's no shampoo OR hair dryer. "We out, we out." She mirrors him. I ask, what type of $120-per-night hotel doesn't have shampoo? I get told that "it's not a hotel, it's a motel."

I wake up from a bad night to find 6 bug bites on my leg. I guess the musky smell wasn't weed, but the bugs. Thanks.

Paid too much for what it was!
Pros:

Hotel is dated. Stayed in front (street side) and it was a bit noisy (sirens 24/7) but I do not think having a room in the rear off the lot would be any different. The towels were rough, the two little soap cakes were insufficient for two days (I did get more with no problem), ice machine didn't work, etc.

Pros:

The ladies at the front desk were extremely helpful and nice. But the hotel was not what we expected. Everything smelt like cigarettes. Even the non smoking rooms. No A.C throughout the hotel and The furniture was filthy . Did not enjoy our stay at all. Definently not worth what I paid !

Being overbooked was a blessing in disguise
Pros:

I would love to tell you about my stay, but they waited until I was checking in around 8 pm to tell me they were overbooked and I didn’t have a room. No phone call, nothing. They were going to put me in their sister motel, even further south. Mind you, this is pretty south of the city. The neighborhood is terrible. The pictures are lies.

Large King room but NOT updated
Pros:

I was disappointed with the room selected for me. i wanted a room over-looking the parking lot because those were the rooms with balcony's (1st & 2nd floor). I was not able to be accommodated. The staff is very friendly.

Convenient option with train access to downtown
Pros:

I attended a huge meeting in Chicago and a girlfriend joined me. I chose this hotel because the ones close to the Convention Center were already reserved or way too expensive for my budget. The neighborhood was clean, safe (Police station two blocks apart and a patrol on the block everyday). Three restaurants around the hotel, including one that offers breakfast m. The train Greenline was one block apart and it was conveniently at 10 minutes of my meeting. They have microwave and fridge but no coffee machine in the room. Attention was very good.
