“Beware!!! Not open!!! Total scam!!!”

This "apartment block" was a construction site. I don't know if any of the websites are taking bookings for this but travelocity did when we were booking it. Nobody thought to inform us that it wasn't at all ready and we only saw this for ourselves when we arrived to find it was nothing but a building site! This has happened to several other people as well (PLEASE SEE FORUM ON THIS TOPIC).When we eventually tracked down someone from the managment company,they had no idea that we were arriving and had no idea how that could have happened!! That was little consolation to us as we had just travelled all the way from Ireland and now had nowhere to sleep for the night!! Luckily we got a reservation in a Holiday Inn for the night but it turns out that there was a printing convention on that week and all the hotels seemed to be booked out!!The next day we went back to the management company (in the Fisher Building) and they told us that they had "found" our reservation and we were meant to be in md apartments on ashland avenue!! This turned out to be a good bit outside the city and it was a half an hour walk into the nearest bit of the loop and at least $12 in a taxi if we wanted to go anywhere downtown. This was not the place that we booked, it was not the place described on the internet or in the pictures and if the other place had been advertised we would not have booked it at all. To add insult to injury, they charged the full amount for 6 nights to our credit card a week before we even arrived in Chicago, so I don't see how they didn't know anything about us. We also only stayed for 5 and we had to cough up for the first night in the Holiday Inn even though we had already paid to stay in a place that wasn't completely built! It also cost us a lot more travelling on trains and in taxis whereas we wouldn't have had this expense if we could have stayed in the place that we originally booked. I hate to say that it made my stay in Chicago completely miserable and I hated it for the first few days. It completely ruined my holiday and all I can say is that it is the biggest con job I have ever come across. Stay away from this place and the company dealing with it because its just a cowboy con job. I would even steer clear of travelocity because they are a unsympathetic bunch of unhelpful con artists too and I would have no time for them ever again. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE!!!

Stayed September 2005
