10/10 Excellent
"I chose to stay here because it was the cheaper hotel in the area and close for work . I don't usually stay somewhere due to price but was trying to save my company the extra buck. I was honestly surprised on how clean the hotel was and how taken care of the property was. For the price I got a steal. The room was very clean and had a nice presentation to it . I had to leave before break but I'm sure it was amazing (Smelled amazing ) For the price and location you couldn't beat it . Definitely will stay again soon ."

"The Hotel and staffs are nice helpful. It's a blessing for those who enjoy alcoholic beverage, one can have some drinks on the casino and walk straight to your hotel room. However, this property is located at an industrial area. I do not recommend strolling beyound the hotel's property as its very dark, isolated and sketchy. This gives a completely difgerent perspective of Chicago and city vibes that one would be expecting from."
