"Good experience. The hotel room was clean, but the AC fan was loud. I told the front desk clerk, but it wasn't fixed. I asked for another room, but was told no other rooms were available. I barely slept for 2 nights.2016-10-06"

"The hotel and staff were amazing; everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our room was quiet, and the breakfast buffet had something for everyone. Nice neighborhood; if you take the subway to get to the hotel, it's a bit of a walk. It's a tight squeeze getting out of the property if you have a bigger vehicle.2022-09-20"
"The hotel was OK, but not great. The parking app took many tries, which was aggravating.2022-07-24"
"About 18 miles from downtown Chicago. Nice amenities without the traffic and high prices of downtown and airport hotels. There were lots of restaurants with outdoor seating in the area. My room on the 12th floor had a nice view of the Chicago skyline, though the sound of the El was somewhat annoying until I got used to it. I ate dinner at the on-site restaurant, which was quite good.2018-07-30"

"My hotel room was too hot, and there was no fan. The heater was so loud at night that I couldn't sleep. Find another place to stay.2019-03-31"
"An older hotel, but it was comfortable and charming even though it didn't have fancy amenities. The room was on the small side, but it was fine for sleeping and the bed was comfortable. The window AC worked well but was quite loud. The front desk clerk was professional, friendly, and accommodating. Fantastic complimentary breakfast. Parking was limited; I parked at a lot several blocks away and walked.2018-08-21"

"Good experience, especially the quiet of the hotel. No TV guide in the room. I recommend staying here.2022-03-06"
"This hotel was overpriced and in need of renovation. I couldn't control the room temperature, and it was very uncomfortable. Don't recommend.2015-09-29"
"Great location. The hotel room was small but adequate. The tiny bathroom was more of an issue. Great lobby and nice bar and restaurant. Good place for the price.2018-04-10"
"The hotel breakfast wasn't free, and the valet parking was too expensive. Good customer service, though.2018-03-01"
"Nice location. The AC in our hotel room sounded like a jet taking off. The hallway carpet was dirty. No continental breakfast.2016-08-05"
"Our hotel stay was absolutely awful, starting with the rude check-in clerk who couldn't care less about guests. Our room was dirty, with beer cans and towels all over. We returned to the front desk and were given another room, but the heater and phone didn't work. We returned to the desk yet again, and the clerk acted like we were an inconvenience. She gave us a room right by the elevator. All the hotel clerks acted like they hated their jobs, though the bartenders at Bar Louie were exceptional and sweet. Despite this, find another place to stay.2021-02-26"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
