My family and I stayed a night in this hotel for a little weekend getaway because my son wanted to…read morego to the Galloping Ghost Arcade. Our stay here was great! When we checked in the guy at the desk was friendly and got us checked in at no time. The room is very clean, the restroom clean. The beds were comfortable we all slept good, just an all around great stay. The area and rooms were quiet, with all the businesses around you'd think it'd be a bit noisy but nope. If you're around the area and looking for a place to stay and relax, you can't go wrong. The price wasn't bad at all, not sure if the price is the same on their actual website but I got a good price from Hotels.com. I recommend this hotel if you need a great night stay! I will say they should get vending machines on every floor, only floor that had them was the first floor.

This is an older property definitely in need of renovation. You'll find it between a bowling alley…read moreon one side and a no-brand hotel with an abandoned restaurant on the other. 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.

Stayed here back in January with a friend who was visiting from ATL. The hotel was quiet and had…read moregreat food options nearby. The only downsides were that the front desk didn't seem to be available 24/7, and housekeeping wasn't provided daily unless requested. Since we spent most of our time exploring the city, it wasn't a huge issue. There was some noise from a group of loud teens during our stay, but overall I'd still recommend this hotel. The rooms were spacious, neat, organized, and clean.

I'm in this area for work pretty often, and over the years I've stayed at a ton of different…read morehotels, usually closer to Midway. The traffic there is always a mess, getting in and out is a hassle, and the surrounding area just isn't great. I recently discovered this hotel, and I honestly can't believe I haven't been staying here all along. The area is beautiful, safe, and so much easier to navigate. The hotel itself is spotless and truly immaculate. Every evening when I walked in this week, the front desk staff (especially the woman working nights) greeted me with a warm smile and a genuine hello. It's such a small thing, but it makes a huge difference when you're traveling for work. The breakfast area was also incredibly clean and perfectly stocked each morning, even though I only grabbed a few things here and there. You can tell the staff takes pride in keeping everything fresh and organized. Overall, everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. It's officially my new go-to spot whenever I'm in town. I'll be back frequently, so I hope they're ready to see me pretty often! Thank you for a great stay.

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.

Smooth check in, plenty of parking, they have restaurant that high good reviews attached to the…read morehotel so you don't have to leave or send out for food. They have a swimming pool which we did use. It wasn't crowded at all and they also have party rooms where they let the guest can use the pool. We've stayed here twice. Prices are pretty good when compared to other hotels. The only thing is it's a little outdated definitely would like to see them remodel give it a fresh look!

We were looking for a reasonable price near UChicago. This place is not really near UChicago but…read moreclose to Midway. Traffic is ridiculous in Chicago but this place worked out. Good price, tons of parking. Unlike the negative reviews our breakfast experience was great. I guess if you go right before they close maybe there is no food but we did not have that problem. The fitness area is good as well (see photos). Overall not a bad option.

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!

It was... disappointing and NOTHING like the real Drake…read more Honestly, upon arriving and seeing the place up close, I decided to leave and not stay after all. I can see where they are trying to go, but it's not there. The place is in disrepair if you pay attention at all (cracks, holes, chipped paint), a crappy elevator, there's even random crap thrown in a corner still in view of guest. If you want to be taken seriously, then handle all the stuff no one sees that isn't sexy, rather than just putting lipstick on a pig. There's no consistent theme. It's like 5 different people walked through a 2nd hand store in a rush, with no other options, so each picked what they found in their scavenger hunt and then threw it all together. It's a big space. The staff was great and welcoming. Seriously, they were solid. The place is a 2 star, but staff is worth another star. It just felt like coming to visit my aunt who doesn't get a lot of visitors so she threw everything in a closet knowing guest are coming over. We all have to ignore the smell and everything else. The stuff on the walls makes sense to her as they are her memories, but there's no theme other than her history, so none of it makes sense to anyone else. It's just awkward. The reason this place isn't booming is 100% on the owner. They are trying to look bougie, while ignoring real issues, and clearly in way over their head attempting to do way too much with too little. They need to take a loan or get an investor and make this place amazing. It could be, but it's not. Then again, not sure if the place they dream of could survive in that area as the prices would need to double and the area may not be willing to pay. Potential investors may have said the same. I see the vision, but also see the reality, which just frustrated me as there was conflict around every corner. Also, the bar closes early at like 8 or 9pm. Additionally the upgraded rooms with "garden view" are anything but. The actual room is good. The detached building however looks like it was a nursing home that's never been changed or upgraded; at least on the outside and entrance. When you walk in the front door of said nursing home, it SMELLS like a nursing home. It was strong and not in a good way. When you are in your room and look outside at the "garden view", it's a crappy 1/2 wall that appears to have been designed and built as a favor by a drunk uncle who was in a rush. It's very small and insignificant. It's an eye sore, but the "garden" is actually just the back yard looking directly into a crappy middle class neighborhood of back yards. All in all, my "get away" upgraded experience felt more like a motel 6 with a $1,000,000 dream on a $500 budget.
