This was by far the worst Super 8 hotel I have ever seen. It was my first stay at this hotel and appeared very run down as I entered the lobby at 4:30 PM with a reservation for two nights. I was the only guest at the check in desk but neither of the two employees behind the desk even acknowledged my presence for several minutes. One was taking a reservation (OK) the other was counting money and continued until he was done. I finally checked in for my wife and I to a Queen suite. Upon entering the room, we were dismayed to find a bed with one pillow missing and a towel laying on the bed, the ironing bed set up in a corner with another towel on it and a towel on the bathroom floor. I immediately complained to the desk clerk about an apparent uncleaned room. He offered to clean it??? then offered another room but by this time we just wanted out. After I conviced him we were leaving, he left me standing and waiting while he took 2 more reservations. He stated he would still need to charge me for a nights stay and was that OK, I said it was not OK, I just wanted to check out. When I asked for a copy of the charges to my credit card, he said I would need to come back in the morning, but finally did give me one after I requested a second time. Bottom line - I was charged for one nights stay for a room that we did not use and not only looked bad but smelled bad as well. This was the worst experience I've ever had at any hotel of any kind.

This is a place to be avoided! The underground parking was dark and there was garbage all over the place. The stairs to the lobby from the garage had pieces of charred insulation all over then, water stained walls and at the top of the stairs the wall was smoke stained and black! (see photos)

Our room itself was clean enough, but the AC didn't work and we couldn't open the window because we were right over the stairs to the garage and anyone could have just climbed right into our room.

We also had to tell the maid that the toilet was ready to overflow, and we ended up having to use the plunger she gave us everytime we used the comode!

The good thing was it was very quiet at night.

My parents and I stayed at this hotel due to an early morning flight to Fort Myers, Florida the next morning. First, I will tell the good things.1). It was close to the airport (has shuttle) and 2). it was cheap. Next, the long list of terrors. 1).It is in a BAD neighborhood! 2). We waited at the desk for 25 min. without anyone to check us in! 3). You must park in a creepy parking garage under the motel! 4). From there you must go into an unlit apartment area courtyard to go up an outdoor flight of stairs and follow a cement hall to get to the access door (it was not locked)! 5). There was vomit by our room door in the hallway (it was musty)! 6). The sink was leaky. 7). The bedspread was torn and had an unusual bloodlike fluid on it! 8). The conjoined room door had a hole in it! 9). The tiles in the closet were exposed and an emergency sprinkler was blocked by renovation supplies. 10). When we requested new sheets and pillows the desk cleak who spoke very poor english just shrugged and said "no more"! Over all, this place is just creepy, thank God we only were there to sleep for 5 hours and get out!

This place was a dump, we were going to a concert downtown, and decided to take this hotel because of the price. If you are looking for a cheap place to sleep I guess this is yours. The whole place was dirty, the closet in our room was caved in, we could barely find our room because a lot of the room #'s on the door's are gone. It's o.k for one night, but if you are staying in Chicago for a few days spend a bit more and get something a bit better.
