Em Groch ( MI, USA ) - April 08, 2005 at 11:15:42
I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and I wish I would've stayed somewhere else. The bathroom toilet continued to run every other time it was flushed, the shower handle fell off as soon as I touched it and the water was hot or cold, no in between. There was missing tile in the entrance to the bathroom which I stubbed my toe several times. The TV was extremely old, it had AM/FM radio on it and the remote had only volume up and down arrows and channel up and down arrows on it. One of the two elevators was down for most of my two day stay (on the weekend). I did know when I booked this hotel that there were picketers outside the front entrance, which didn't bother me because I used the side entrance most of the time (unless I wanted a taxi). Two good things about staying here, breakfast was good and the service was better than some hotels I've stayed at. The rate was cheap and the hotel served my purpose for being in Chicago, but I wouldn't recommend this hotel.
