4/10 Fair

The room itself was ok. Although, it did not have a microwave as described. We were traveling with young children and planned for a microwave. There was a community one in the lobby we had to use. The hotel was not in the best shape and parking was terrible. The pool did not have towels even after requesting them. We also were unable to get an extra blanket as they did not have any. The accommodations were terrible.

Bed was half way broke. Didn’t really feel like I got my monies worth being that I pretty much spent 100 a night. Also my kids were not able to swim because some problem they said that was going on. This was literally just an okay stay.

Older hotel with a lot to f tiny elevators. The room was tiny but clean for an older hotel. It did smell like musty a bit and an odor lime urine. #1 drawback was the surprise parking fee of over $50 a night. Ridiculous amount when you are already overpaying for a older cheap chain of hotel.

Great location! We parked at the underground parking but no helpful signage to the direction of the lobby. We wish there was a ramp and not just stairs going up to the lobby to ease the flow of luggage. Overall okay stay.

Stay at best western chicago
Rooms were good and well maintained. Not so good experience when it came to parking, the underground parking garage needs redesign.its not properly spaced to park, would have helped if there was continental breakfast available, at least something that could be considered after 49$ parking charge
