Have stayed in a lot of hotels. This is #1 WORST. Too much to list, I just knew I needed to LEAVE for somewhere else. Dirty everything, building in disrepair, dead bugs, loud cussing and yelling in adjoining/connected room with a flimsy door and did not feel safe or think that I would be able to sleep. Front desk was selling beer out is a fridge at the front desk and several people in the hallways were imbibing.

I’ve been to a lot of hotels, and I never expected to be fancy or top-notch, but this one was below my standards. The non-smoke room smelled like cigarette smoke. The entire the entire place was musty. The location felt unsafe, where the air conditioner was at on the second floor the entire floor around it was soft like it was gonna cave inand I saw cockroaches in the bathroom if it weren’t for the fact that I already paid for the hotel and I wouldnt have gotten a refund I wouldn’t have stayed.

This place is terrible. The non-smoking room smells like cigarette so bad we were gagging in it. The floors were greasy, uneven and ruined, the deadbolt for the room didn’t work! So we had a poorly added chain lock for our room. There were drug addicts running around the hall, the walls of the room were full of holes and horribly done patches. The bed was literal springs, the pillows were flat beyond belief. The pool and hot tub were out of order. They don’t give you soaps for the shower. The bathroom sink was dirty and broken. We didn’t even bother trying the shower. The AC unit created humidity all night and this clanking noise that wouldn’t stop. Dogs were barking and scratching at doors. We were never given the Wi-Fi password or told when breakfast would be or how to use any facilities. We felt unsafe here. If it wasn’t after midnight, and we didn’t drive 9 hours, we would have left IMMEDIATELY.

This place seriously needs to be inspected. I travel for work and stay at low tier hotels weekly, this one is not just bad it’s terrible, mice in the rooms, stench is awful, garbage in hallways. Mold on walls, noisy all night. I stayed here one night and you would genuinely have to pay me to sleep here again. STATE OF ILLINOIS GO INSPECT THIS PLACE.

Smelled like a tobacco bar

Got a non smoking room due to being on oxygen. Non cancel . Get there and the lobby smells strongly of smoke and the hallway from hell to the room was very much worse. The room was non smoking but you could smell the smoke from the hallway in it. Got there around 4:30 or so to check in and room was not cleaned yet so we left for a while and came back at 7:00 and the floors had puddles of water on them where they had just finished cleaning.
