We stayed for one night at this hotel in one of tje upper rooms. The value is fine considering the low price. Especially, thanks to Essam who welcomed us so well and was very attentive to make our stay easy and very enjoyable.

The hotel is very well located, near the Mall and good food options. Maybe that is its best point. Room was very dark as it was under ground level (or at ground level being generous), A/C broken, lockers are not enough for all guests and worst of all, water pressure was almost none. Really, almost none. Showering was quite difficult to get soap off. We tried to contact people in desk via post-it (as is not a 24/7 attended hotel). We got no response. This issue and the no A/C made our estance quite bad. I don't get it, seems like things easy to solve and make the experience 10/10 (for the price).

Very good location for restaurants in a walking distance. Overall safe. I was lucky to see a staff physically present there when I checked-in. I was allowed to check in 2 hours before the check-in time. However, not having any physical staff on site create trouble for residents. I saw people waiting for hours to get a respond from the hotel staff through text message. If you want to replace labor by technology that's perfectly fine. But to operate that mode, you should have service available through phone or text or by any Apps. Emergency alarm was ringing on and residents were gathering at the lobby waiting for hours at night in response to the alarm but no on-site staff to address the issue!

Room had peeling paint on the ceiling and walls, tv was crooked (very crooked) on the wall mount, broken lamp, unplugged light at bed stand, dirty shower head (very dirty), rust in shower, incredibly small "queen" bed (it was not a queen), nobody on site for support (Nick, the manager, was working remote), lights outside the front door were off and saw two other people trip down the first step exiting out as you couldn't see the first step down, I also tripped and sprained my ankle on the same step. When I finally got a hold of someone in Chicago I was told it was sold out and offered half the price discount....No.... I want the queen superior room I booked and paid for. If I wanted a hotel at that price point I would have just done that and gotten the same quality hotel. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

One of those annoying “hotels” with no staff on site, they send you texts day of, and you have to fill out online forms and take and upload pictures of your ID so they’ll send you separate codes for the front door and your room.

Was locked out of my room multiple times as the door code didn’t work and no one is at the front desk or answers the phone. The only silver lining was a phenomenally warm and kind employee named Ashem (I think) who was a groundskeeper or handyman.

I checked into this hotel and it was extremely dirty. Stains in the carpet in the bedroom. Dirt ring around the bathtub, marking on the walls, paint chipping, and a very poor AC system. It also reeked of a very strong spray paint smell. Additionally, the walls are very thin and you can hear everything happening in the very tiny rooms next to you. You can get way more bang for your buck elsewhere..

Its a very decent price for a lovely place. Soap is included but a few amenities are a little poor like drinkable water in the rooms, lack of easy control over the lighting, and needing a couple chairs instead of the one for a couple's room. Eating in the hotel for a romantic night is always a possibility, and no one wants to stain the bed. That said the place was very clean and gorgeous, with good wifi, easy walking distance to wonderful ethnic restaurants, and the bed was quite comfortable, the provided soaps of good quality, and a solid deal for the price.
