Do not even consider booking here. I prepaid for two rooms, upon checking in only one as available. I was told that I would receive a call when the second one was available. We went out and explored the city. I never received a call, when we went to the front desk to check in later I was told there were no rooms available. There were several people in the lobby also with paid reservations and no rooms. I was told that they would bring up a cot, it never happened. Followed up, never promised again, and showed. With no follow-up or explanation. We asked for additional towels (only two in the room) never got them, housekeeping was no where to be found. Unfortunately so in out party had to sleep on the floor for two nights. I was promised a refund and as of this point it has not been received.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When we checked in - the hotel gave our room away saying they were overbooked and we had no room. I had even done the early check in to the room. My family of 5 after traveling 14 hours was now stranded in Chicago with no hotel room. No rooms available in the area of town we wanted to stay in. So our only opinion was to stay 30 miles away at a much less attractive hotel. I was furious and the hotel staff basically said “sorry not sorry” we weren’t the only ones they did this too. It was awful experience and I will NEVER book with them or one of there affiliates again. There excuse was since we booked through a third party (Expedia) they didn’t have to honor the reservation which was already paid for!

Great experience expect the one thing

Overall, we had a great experience. However, the valet service was quite expensive and the staff could have been more courteous. The self-service parking next door was also a bit confusing to navigate.
