Room was basically clean, beds comfortable, however lots of issues: broken or missing fixtures, broken and cracked floor tiles, chipped and gouged paint on walls and doors. Used towels removed but not replaced. Staff was friendly. Hotel just needs attention to detail.

Staff was great, couldn’t sleep all night hearing some domestic disturbance and then people talking and drinking and being loud, smells pretty bad , heat doesn’t even work in the room they rather spend 20$ on heaters to plug in then air blowing at 90 degrees straight cold air, had a rough night and only slept maybe 2 hours, decided to pack up and leave after not being able to go to bed …. Like I said staff was great 10/10 but I cannot come back or recommend this place to anybody

I loved it! Everything was on point except the pillows lol omg they were terrible it was hollow and like it wasn’t anything in them and it flattened immediately and it wasn’t a microwave in the room but that wasn’t too much of in there issue an inconvenience I might add BUT the staff was really nice the hotel and rooms smelled fresh and inviting and the bed was really comfortable. That is my new go to spot when I go home to Chicago for visits but you if they could just get better pillows that would be great

Overall a great experience!

Overall the hotel is great! We stayed there for the night after attending a concert at Tinley Park, so the location is perfect. I’m taking off a star ONLY because the walls are extremely thin. You can hear everything. At 6am I swear there was a soccer game on the floor above us and full conversation maybe next door or in the hall. Balls were bouncing and shaking everything. Other than that, it was a great experience and would definitely stay there if attending another concert!

Overall I’d give this property a 3-4/5. The bedding was very comfortable (probably the best we have had), the water pressure and temperature of the shower was great, and the heating and cooling of the room was also great. It’s also in a very central area for what we went for. They were also very accommodating upon arrival as we had to change our room type. Little downside was that there was hole in the wall near the shower where spiders and ants crawled out from time to time. Also the door handle to the bathroom was put on in the opposite direction, which was weird and there was blue paint from them painting the walls all over the towel rack. Just looked like no attempt was made to get it off. The breakfast was subpar. Just bagels, yogurt, and cereal. It did the trick if you are short on time. They also didn’t have a juice machine, just some coffee pots and pitchers of orange and apple juice. They did have a water fountain where we were able to fill our water bottles which was great. The pool area could definitely be updated, paint was chipping in a lot of areas but the pool was actually heated and hot tub was great. Overall we would definitely stay here again.

The elevator isn't working, and the hot tub was dirty with green water; the staff promised to clean it and let me know when it was ready, but they never did. The property is not in a condition that justifies the price paid for the service. I wouldn't stay there again; I checked in at 3:00 p.m. and left at 10:00 p.m. that same day.
