Frank

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I did not like the place because of two things. The location is lot the best area. The property charged me for an extra fee due to a major event two days prior to my check in. Unethical and wrong. For the cost I could have stayed at a better location. And the room I stayed had a gas meter that smelled at times.

I booked a reservation for three people and they gave me a tiny room with two bunk beds plus I was not aware we were going to share the space with other guests. This place is very terrible, don't waste your money here.

The rooms are like closets. The area is in a bad area. No off street parking. The beds were falling apart, no air conditioning, and only one very dirty fan for any relief. Overall avoid at all costs.

I had a great two-night stay at this property in Chicago. The bus stop right in front made it easy to get to Navy Pier, and the location was very accessible. Communication with the property management was smooth, and they were responsive to any inquiries. The place was clean, quiet, and just right for my stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I found ants all over my room and bathroom. And the WiFi posted in my room didn’t correctly match any of the networks and the password was not correct so I couldn’t take an important virtual meeting I had during my stay. Overall I would not stay here again and for the price I would have been better off staying elsewhere.
