Far from the best but not the worst place I’ve ever stayed. Served its purpose — a place to crash after a concert. Staff was kind. Guests were loud even after midnight. Two men smoking outside harassed me as I moved my car after a late check-in. Unsettling but not the hotel’s fault. To avoid them, I entered the side door to get back to my room. That door was not latched, which raised concern for security. Although, it appeared to have some fresh paint, many of the fixtures were broken or outdated. Shower seemed recently updated but my son reported no hot water. Beds were clean and comfortable but the floor had evidence of previous guests — a few nuts and candy wrappers in between the beds. Unlikely I’d stay here again but wouldn’t rule it out entirely.

Outside of hotel looked nothing like the picture. The room itself wasn’t that bad but full of shady guests groups out smoking and signs saying don’t leave anything in your vehicles and lock your doors. Put a 100 dollar hold for incidentals! Holiday inn charges 50-won’t be back

I've stayed at this property on multiple occasions and have gotten a chance to come in contact with almost all of the staff. Jenni and Dawn have the best hospitality thus far. They are amazing! House keeping is always on time and efficient with their cleanings. I will be using this location for future travel, I have also informed my fellow travel agents about this wonderful location! It is the best in the area.

Will only stay here from now on in Joliet
Seems like it was recently remodeled and well worth the time. Of all the hotels I have stayed at in this area, always for a stop between trips, THIS is the best hotel in the area. Service was great, it was clean, breakfast was good, and not so 'deep' into the area. Will absolutely stay here again.
