Ultimately, we chose this hotel to be able to walk to the Illinois basketball game. It was easily within walking distance. However, the facility was run-down. One of the sconces was missing from the wall next to the bed, the mattress lumpy, and dirty surfaces. I also booked this pool months ago because it had an indoor pool, but the pool was out of service when we arrived. There was a leak in the hall right outside our door, with a bucket placed underneath.
Did the room do its job? Yes. But for $200+ a night, I’d expect a cleaner, better cared-for room.
The biggest bright spot was that the ladies at the front desk were very kind and helpful.
