Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel has a no smoking rule, however the whole floor and room smelled of pot. I went to the front desk and they were very helpful to put me on a new floor and they very graciously upgraded my room. However that floor spelt very moldy and the overall cleanliness of the hotel (carpets, dusting) was below standard in my books. You do get what you paid for - and for Chicago this was a great price. So decide on what you prefer! The mold/damp smell was only in the hallway and not in the upgraded room.

Overnight trip. Didn’t catch the name of the gentlemen who checked us in but he was very welcoming and helped me get my parking situated. He did notice my request to not be facing Ohio st. Not only did he accommodate my request but put us in an upgraded room. Room was very nice and bed was comfortable. It was a quick overnight trip but a good one. Love that the parking is right there too. Costs extra, but they all charge now.

The room itself was ok. Although, it did not have a microwave as described. We were traveling with young children and planned for a microwave. There was a community one in the lobby we had to use. The hotel was not in the best shape and parking was terrible. The pool did not have towels even after requesting them. We also were unable to get an extra blanket as they did not have any. The accommodations were terrible.
