At least there was a bed?

The proximity to Midway was great. Other than that, it was pretty bad, holes in the floor, scarry shower. However, I didn't have to sleep on the floor at the airport, so I guess there is that.

The room was unacceptable with both safety and sanitary issues. The toilet was leaking all over the floor. The door jamb was broken. The smoke detector was taped to the ceiling. Curtain rods are broken. The flooring is coming up. Holes in walls. Cigarette burns on the sheets. Absolutely unacceptable.

Basically a drug den

The place was disgusting. Dirty hand prints on the walls, dirty sheets with blood on them, a plastic bag over the smoke alarm, cigarette ashes on the floor and in the bed, the bathroom was just drywall with no paint, bathtube paint was chiped everywhere. There wasn't any soap to wash your hands. But at least there wasn't bedbugs.

We visited the hotel, approached the check-in counter, and politely inquired if a visitor could join us. Unfortunately, the staff member responded rudely, threatening to expel us if anyone else appeared on the security camera. Shockingly, he physically confronted us, treating us as if we were in a fight. He even canceled our reservation, leaving us feeling unsafe. Subsequently, we contacted the police, and after their arrival, we decided to leave the premises.

Got kicked out at 230am for asking for a cab call

Nothing in the room worked lady at desk was supposed to get a cab for us at 230 to go the airport. Instead a rude lady called and said my time was up and I needed to leave. I attempted to explain the situation to her and she basically wavede off. Although conveniently located to airport this is not where you want to stay.

NO!!!!

Owners locked me out of my room. Went to the front desk to try to get in. Another man come into the office. The person that was staying with me was right outside of the office smoing a cigarette waiting to get into room. Owner said that there were only two people to be allowed in the room and somebody else was already in it. I tried to tell him that the a man that came into the office after me was not with me. He did not believe me and picked up the phone and tried to call that room. It is not their business who I have any hotel room that I've rented for the night. He should have been more worried about the man sitting in a truck outside selling dope all night. I'm assured they already know as they probably are getting a kick back from it.

No honeymoon

SIngle female and was given a room with a mirrored ceiling, neon love lights and cupid lights above the bed, condoms in the drawer, it was horrible. I immediately felt uneasy. I was afraid to undress, sleep in the bed, walk on the floor barefoot (no carpet). The floor was filthy, trash on floor on bathroom. I was desperate for a room after my flight was canceled late. Didn't know the area and felt stuck. Guess you get what you pay for ($107)
