Probably won’t be back.

The first room we got the refrigerator didn’t work and the room had a stench of smoke. In the second room the Corners in the bathroom had buildup of dirt/grime. Walking on carpet made our shoes/feet black. The breakfast was very disappointing. Eggs gross, sausage and potatoes all poor quality and taste. The only thing edible was the yogurt and cereal. Not impressed for the price paid at this hotel. We just stayed at the exact same hotel in Hoffman Estates , IL and the stay was significantly better. Also, ice maker on 2nd floor out of order, as well as one of the elevators. And the signage on the building also half broken. Says Holidann expss. Overall owners seem to be neglecting fixing things.

We stayed two nights and our room was skipped for cleaning, we had to ask for towels. When we did ask for needed items the staff was very nice and quick to help. Only one of the two elevators were in working order which got very crowded during morning hours and check out time.
