“Safety Issue”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here one night, average place, clean and the check in staff was very friendly and helpful. I had my small chihuahua with me, so they gave me a room near the back door on the first floor.

The area is remote with a very large parking lot. When I first checked in, I noticed that the rear door was open, though the sign said that a key card was needed to enter. Since it was the mid-afternoon, I figured that perhaps the door would be locked later in the evening. Not the case as when I returned to my room around 9:30pm later that evening, the back door was still accessible to anyone that wanted to walk right in. To me this is a serious issue. I did report it to the front desk and she said that she would let someone know. I pretty much demanded that someone look at it immediately but no one ever came. I guess they don't have an on duty staff to handle situations such as this immediately. I did not feel safe and had a difficult time sleeping, especially as I saw a car pull up with two seedy looking men in it shortly after I came in from walking the dog.

Might be OK for guys to stay here alone but definitely not for a woman traveling solo. Never again.

“Nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

I went to the company's Christmas party at this hotel and because of the open bar at the party I desided to get a room here. The non smoking room I had was a nice size and clean. Located right off the expressway so it make travel easy. The employees was friendly but understaffed. Was a good place to stay.

“Nice, clean, good value and convenient hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

My husband and I stayed 2 days and we had no complains about this hotel. The room was clean and the service was very good. The only thing that could make it better is to include breakfast in their fare. Other than that, a good hotel for the price and location.

Room Tip: "Rooms on the south side are quieter"

“No problems”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

My family stayed here for one night. The hotel was very busy with tour groups but it was older folks so no behavior problems. :-) Very convenient to the interstates and less than a mile away from many restaurants. Easy drive to the Bellwood Metra station--30 minute train ride to the heart of downtown Chicago.
Hotel was older, but structurally sound and fairly well maintained. Our room was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. No noise from adjacent rooms. Free Wi-Fi worked fine. Didn't have the heat/AC on so don't know if it was noisy.
I would've preferred that the hotel have a free breakfast, but we went to McDonalds (maybe 1/2 mile away?) for a quick breakfast instead. There was also an IHOP nearby.

“better off not staying here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

I stayed here for 4 days and the pillows smelled like someones armpits. I called and asked them to bring me some more, which still smelled just less. It also made me very uncomfortable that during 3 out of the 4 days different people were always smoking pot that filled the whole hallways and in my hotel room too. I didn't know if these people were dangerous or not and that is scary. I was suppossedly on a non smoking floor. I originally stayed at Hillside IL because I wanted to visit downtown Chicago. They told me there was the blue line available there. The blue line, forest park stop, was 5 miles away and most of the time the people were very sketchy and I had to wait for the driver to pick me up which also made me feel uncomfortable. The night receptionist was also very rude. I wouldn't recommend that anyone stay here at all.
