Nice and off the 5

All started off at the front desk...The guy was super nice. I checked in at like 10p and normally you get the most bitter person ever. Not in this case. Told me all the info I needed to know, and sent me up to my room. Perfect!

Location is great but this place is not good at all. Rust, corrosion, dirt, excessive wear and tear is the theme. We cancelled after one night. Do not recommend at all

Michele, Chicago

The property is in a great location, but feels pretty run-down and could use a big update. The lobby, hallways and pool area seem kind of dingy. Rooms were clean though (balconies could use a thorough cleaning, however). It was reasonably priced though so I would say you get what you pay for. Pros were the location and parking being included and cons listed above.
