I was very disappointed. The best I could say is that my room was clean and functional. Many things were in in disrepair. The lights would not turn when using the switch by the door. The bathroom sink fixture was separated from the counter and literally hanging down into the sink. The wardrobe looked like it was put there in the 1970s. The TV remote turned on the TV but was unable to control being up the channel guide, effectively making the TV useless. I was looking forward to a hot breakfast, but was disappointed to find out that the sausage and potatoes were cold, and that the eggs were not even there (the clerk told me that they would be there in a few minutes, but 20 minutes later they were still not there). In the past I've had very good experiences at this hotel, but not this trip.

There were a few missing light bulbs. No soap in the dispenser. Toilet ran and had a small leak Breakfast was ok. Scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and sausage. Also served some cold cereals. If you are looking for a quick place to stay, it will suit your needs. Very close to Midway Airport.

Pulled into the driveway and was immediately confused because what was online was not what I pulled up to. I got my keys and went to park my car and while doing that some little lady outside looking on the ground everywhere for drugs. I parked my car and went into the room floor was dirty bathroom had hair everywhere shower, floor, sink and toilet. I will not get started on the linens, photos speak for themselves. Do not stay here I checked out about 30 minutes later and I didn’t receive all my money. They charged me for a whole night and what I paid for was not worth it.

Disliked: Amenities

I did like the free breakfast included, but there was no eggs provided while I stayed there. Out of the three front desk people I encountered one of them was very nice warm and friendly. The other two were the opposite very cold and not friendly at all. The room did have an odor of cigarettes which went away after our second night but it's still there. The chairs in the room for the table are wobbly and in on the verge of breaking. I did like the room service they provided they did what I requested giving you towels and clean the room. It was a last minute stay due to my apartment having to have work done.

Love the free airport transport. This is a MOTEL. I thought it was a hotel. Scary part of town. Lots of noises from cleaning/laundry/maintenance , as well as surrounding area.
