We booked two rooms, but at the time we checked in, they said they only have one room. All the rooms were sold out. They didn’t give us refunds.

This has been one of my best hotel experiences ever, and i travel 3 weeks out of the month! The staff was wonderful! So friendly, always available, very accommodating, and very kind. Ill stay here every time I'm in the chicago area now, which is several times a year. I like that they also have a stand alone alarm clock and phone

Everything was great. Comfy beds, cold fridge, ice machine working and the breakfast was decent and well supplied. Everything smelled clean and there were cleaning ladies keeping everything looking and smelling good. Pretty good location. The downside was the pool being out of order, our TV not wanting to turn on, the main back doors being propped open cause they were broken making it less secure. Over all we would stay again.

Do not stay here if you can help it. Very shady happenings in the parking lot. We did not feel safe taking our kids inside. Look elsewhere.

Poor host and lousy security
3 of 4 entrance doors briken and no security. Pool broken Doors propped open all night. When asked about time frame to fix doors we were told they have no idea. For 170 dollars per night the hotel was more interested in collecting money than the security of their guests. Will not got back and did not when we returned to Des Plaines the following week for 4 days

Worse Best Western Stay
The whole Hotel smelled really bad like a dirty kitchen rag. There was no water in the swimming pool, when I took a shower there was no shampoo in the container. I had my son go tell them but they never refilled it or gave us shampoo. When I left at 5am this morning I went back in to do a final walkthrough making sure we weren’t missing anything and I was locked out before I even checked out.

Pool was out of order and appeared to had been for some time. Parking was in the rear but the 2 rear entrances were “out of order” but nothing appeared to be wrong with the doors. There appeared to be urine in the toilet when we got into the room. Front staff was not overly friendly.

Bad experience
Started with the receptionist , she was so rude, when checking us in, we reserved 4 rooms and while she checking us she was on the phone at the same time giving us no respect or attention and kept talking to the point we didn’t know if talking to us or to the people on the phone. So not welcoming at all period. Room service was bad , didn’t clean the room, we stayed two nights didn’t even touch the beds. Smell bad all over. Rude staff . Accept the receptionist who checked us out on Monday morning , she was not.
