Decent place to stay for an overnight trip in Chicago. It's close to the airport and there are some small restaurants nearby. The pool was still being renovated when we stayed, but the room was very clean and in good condition.

The rooms were not very clean. Hair all over the bathroom. Black fuzzy on the bedding. Staff always on personal phone calls. I checked into my room and had just settled in and someone knocked on my door. Another guest was assigned my room and they key they had worked on my door. Very scary. Breakfast was delicious with many different options. Not horrible for what I paid. Works for a night for a concert at Allstate if you are going to drive or uber as it is not walking distance.

This place doesn't deserve to be called a Best Western. Bed sheets needed to be replaced, pool looks permanently closed, despite it being listed as a current amenity on both their website and Expedia. Breakfast bar had bugs present and dirty juice dispensers that left black specs in the juice. It was so bad i left after one night despite booking 2 nights. Do NOT recommend.

Overpriced and nowhere near as nice as other Best Westerns. Not the safest area. And the parking lot is in the back. The eggs were green, the sausage links seemed old and reheated, several apples were rotten. The front desk was nice. But, pool was empty and not open for use. Didn’t understand the $100 deposit. There’s nothing there as far as incidentals.

I stayed for three nights and didn’t receive room service even once—not even a check-in. The blankets were super flimsy, and honestly, I expected at least a complimentary water bottle in the room. For the price, the amenities felt lacking. On the brighter side, the breakfast was solid and the staff were friendly, which I appreciated. But overall, the experience could’ve been much better with a little more attention to comfort and service.

The staff was amazing the ladies in the dining area were wonderful!!! The room was nice and spacious. It was a convenient area shopping restaurants, and the Allstate Arena was about 10 minutes away, so it was perfect for me and my husband I would definitely return on my next visit 10 out of 10.

The doors have gaps at the top and when brought to their attention they basically said somebody can “fix” it but that never happened. Also, I don’t know how they would ever fix it because the door itself just doesn’t fit the frame. This is such an invasion of privacy and made us feel somewhat unsafe. The noise from the other rooms and train running outside can be heard very clearly. The sound proofing is very poor and my companion had a hard time sleeping while we stayed at the hotel. The toilet also doesn’t flush properly and requires over 30 minute wait time between flushes. Also, we found an ant in the bed on our last morning. Hard to say there were any other bugs under the sheets, but it definitely disturbed me. The room keys kept getting demagnetized multiple times during our stay. It happened even when the card was away from any electronic device and it was very annoying. You would not expect that to be the case in this day and age.
