This is my second time staying in this place in my last. I wanted to share my experience about my…read morerecent stay because it was very disappointing. Unfortunately the overall condition of the hotel fell well below what I expected. Through out our stay which was 6 days. We repeatedly had to ask for basic items and services instead of them being provided proactively. Housekeeping was inconsistent, and it often felt like we were inconveniencing the staff by requesting the essentials. Everyday we had to ask to have our room serviced. The food at the buffet in the breakfast area was always out of food. And items were not replenished in a timely manner leaving guests with limited options. There was the usual scrambled eggs, sometimes hard boiled eggs ( but not always) omelettes, sausage or bacon, like that high carbs. And then the bathroom plumbing was an issue, the drainage wasn't going down fast enough in our bathroom sink and we stayed here exactly a year ago the same time and the same thing happened in another room on another floor, the general manager was nice enough and he overheard the conversation and said if there's anything we can do let us know. But this is a very poorly run hotel, the heat for the week that we were there in Chicago was extreme( in July)and somehow they had no AC in the lobby fortunately there were AC in the rooms but nothing in the lobby which made it unbearable to eat breakfast that early in the morning. The most concerning issue was the cleanliness. While unpacking after returning home, a live beetle or roach crawled out of my one of my packing cubes. The following morning I found another 2 inch half dead roach on my bathroom floor near my vanity bag where I left hanging out, while I can't say with certainly where it originated, this is caused significant concern about the cleanliness of our hotel room!

I like Holiday Inns because they are typically a less costly hotel and you pretty much know what…read moreyou're going to get. This Holiday Inn was like most others. The price was a little inflated when my group went due to there being many events that weekend, but not as crazy as some of the other nearby hotels. The hotel and our room was very clean upon arrival. The decor, furniture, etc. was pretty old-school. When we reserved, we were under the impression that we'd have a couch in the room but instead got a large space with many different chair options. It worked out fine and we used the space to have friends come over before we went out to our event. We were fairly loud and when we checked to see if the sound would bother our neighbors by going into the hall, you actually couldn't hear much. We got no complaints so I assume it was the same for the walls between the rooms. The bed was comfortable and everything worked fine. Good water pressure in the shower. Mini fridge worked better than most hotel fridges. Lots of places to unpack belongings. Front desk staff was responsive and kind. Parking was complementary and super easy. They had complementary breakfast, but we did not indulge (we slept in!) Just a few cons. The gym and the pool were both closed during our time there. Our room had no full-length mirror, just the regular mirror in the bathroom. Easily resolved by adding a mirror. Also, no closet in our room. Finally, the TV had only very basic channels. I'd recommend adding Netflix or some kind of streaming service - at least the ability to log in with one's own account. The TV seemed pretty old and probably incapable of this.

There's plenty of parking and it's clean though housekeeping never touched my room during my three-night stay. The hot breakfast was unremarkable. Some of the furniture in the room was chipped though everything functioned. The bathroom was a different story. The shower required a feat of strength to turn on and attempting to change the spray pattern instead unscrewed the showerhead from the spigot. The Wi-Fi was very slow. Only one elevator was working of two and the clock in it was six days slow. It's cheaper than many surrounding properties and there's a reason for that.

I am diamond status and always get thanked and offered a snack or drink but nothing from her. No biggie maybe off day. I ordered a king room and get there and it is 2 queens. The room is hot as you know where. The AC is off in summer. I get a text asking if I need anything. I politely say I ordered a King room, the room was like a sauna and no welcome as diamond. She says sorry the thermostat is on the wall. I again politely let her know I found it but I ordered a king room. She said are sold out. Again I said but I paid for a king. She then in all caps (cut and paste from her text) : " I am SORRY THAT YOU ARE IN A DOUBLE WE ARE CURRENLT SOLD OUT.". I'd avoid this place like the plague.

We finally make it to the hotel and the lobby looks clean and orderly so we are happy (that doesn't last). We go up to the desk person and she can't find our reservation, no worries right they have other rooms. When she gives us the paper work to sign the total is $115 with a "discount". That's $30 more than we were initially quoted but I am so tired and cranky I let it slide. We go up old ratty dirty elevator and get off on the 3rd floor. As soon as the elevator opens the combination smell of dirty old man, cigarettes, and massive BO wafts towards our direction. We get into our room and you can tell the cleaning crew did the bare minimum to keep this place "clean". I've stayed at better hole in the wall hotels in Mexico! The coffee pot, which I had no intention of using was full of coffee stains. And the disposable cups were all crush that two of them had holes in the bottom. Against better judgement we get up for their continental breakfast. I can't complain about the breakfast it is usual breakfast fare ie. toast, cereal, etc. But that room was hot an MUGGY! It felt gross. They had no plates and the milk was not in a cool container so needless to say I stayed away from that mess. The reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because the desk people were nice and they ended up giving us the original price of $84. Next time I will prefer to stay in my home oven than this place.

Let me start by saying my boyfriend chose this hotel because of its convenient location right off…read morethe Chicago interstate. Unfortunately, this was not one of his better hotel picks. We booked one of the jacuzzi rooms, and I've stayed in much nicer ones elsewhere. The jacuzzi had visible mold and clearly had not been cleaned properly. I actually cleaned it myself before we used it. The caulking around the tub was deteriorated and needs to be stripped and replaced, and the foundation supporting the jacuzzi did not feel secure at all. The bed was another major issue. For a room of this type, a king-size bed would have been much more appropriate than the small bed provided. My boyfriend and I are not large people, but the bed felt cramped. Worse, it was broken. After a six-hour drive from Minnesota, all we wanted was to get some sleep, but instead we had to rotate the bed and place towels under the box spring just to make it usable. Sitting on it felt like being on the cracked Titanic. The room was very minimal for the price charged and definitely not worth what we paid. There was also mold around the window and in the regular shower, which is unacceptable. I do want to mention that the staff were very friendly, accommodating, and seemed to do their best with what they had to work with. My frustration is not with them. However, this property desperately needs a deep cleaning and major maintenance. I watched the housekeeping staff cleaning rooms, but it appeared to be basic surface cleaning only. When we moved the bed to fix it, we found mold underneath as well. I would strongly recommend that management temporarily close the hotel, bring in professional cleaners and maintenance crews, and address the mold, broken furniture, damaged caulking, and overall condition of the property before charging guests premium rates for these rooms.
