My flight was delayed and I came to the property. They canceled my room and gave it to someone else didn’t have anywhere to stay. Didn’t accommodate me or anything while I was standing in the lobby floor was dirty. There were stains on the counter as I walked in, they have possums running around the property as well as rabbits and rats outside where I had to wait until I found another place to stay talk to management they did nothing said as their policy. If you don’t check in on time, they give their room away and charge you the full fee so they get double payment for the same room if you don’t check in on time, even if your flight is delayed or something.

They were very accommodating checking in then found out microwave wasn’t wrkn & was told they’d ck on it then found out maintenance guy was on vacay then ended up after sev days they actually went out & bought a sm temporary microwave for me to use bc he was on vacation for my entire 11 days. I greatly appreciated them going above & beyond! Kudos to the staff for taking care of an important issue! Would def recommend this place & it was very quiet for all the business they had.

Our first impression was when we got out the car there was a strong marijuana smell, but at least it was in the parking lot. I entered the building and there was no one behind the desk. I stood there for 10 minutes and after loudly saying \"is there anyone here?\" a guest walked by and picked up a white telephone and told someone that I was there to check in. After finally checking we were walking toward our room we noticed the strong marijuana smell again. This is an extended stay hotel, and we noticed that in the room there was no coffeemaker and there were no chairs. If you're going to be there for an extended period, you'll be sitting on your bed. I told the young lady behind the desk that there wasn't a coffeemaker, and she said that they have coffee in the morning in the lobby. There were plenty of coffee pads but no maker. Also, there was a desk to work at, in the room, but no office chair. The next morning, we were hit with another blast of marijuana smell while in our room. Obviously, people staying there are smoking pot in the hotel. Also, the hallway walls looked dirty and the carpet needed vacuuming. The plusses were that the bathroom was very nice and clean and the price was right. We were there for two nights.

Place was like a slum. Someone was skating in the hallway back and forth, microwave started smoking and triggered alarms but no one showed up. Alarm was on for 30 minutes and no help showed up. Thank god that wasn’t fire.
Non smoking hotel and yet the smell hits you from halfway through to the room.
Just didn’t want to deal with the cancellation hustle.
One of the staff members was so wonderful. She switched my room to a different one. The cigarette smoke was better in that one but wasn’t gone. She was my hero of the stay there. Sending her a billion star’s rating.

The room smelled like food that was left out, the first floor smelled of cat pee, we found mysterious red fluids in several places in the room and outside of it. My wife is pregnant and was super sensitive to the smell of the entire hotel. We couldn’t stay more than a night and ended up leaving before fully staying for the time we purchased. The glassware in our kitchenette was broken
When we tried to check out the hotel had some kinda of emergency and we weren’t able to get ahold of the front desk person as they were dealing with 4-5 cops

First, I hate that I even have to do this, but this was flipping ridiculous. This was by far one of the most uncomfortable hotel stays I’ve experienced. I traveled from Colorado to Illinois for work. I would leave early and come back after 6PM. First off upon arrival there were roaches in my room and hair in the tub. Not the tub drain but all over the tub, the room was not clean when I arrived and my entire 2 week stay my bedding was not changed out once, the room itself was only cleaned 2Xs but only after I asked multiple times. the front desk concierge was rude and unfriendly. She smoked pot at work. I could care less about that but there’s a time and a place and work is not it, you wouldn’t drink on the job. I had to constantly ask for towels and was told I could only request towels Mon-Fri, 7-3PM and I had to bring them down to the front desk myself and wait so they could wash them and return the same ones to me stating they didn’t have extra.

This is not a 2.5-star hotel. Please stay away! Unsafe with police on premises every day, arresting people who live there full-time. Very sketchy clientele, the receptionist is rude and rarely in the reception area. The hallways are stained and dirty, the place is run-down, and pieces of clothing were lying on the grass and bushes, holes in window screens, dust on door frames..... You name it. The room was so dirty, and the smell in the room was just horrible. It smelled like something died in there. The toilet kept clogging, and the receptionist gave us a broken plunger, told us to fix it since \"we broke it\". My argument that I'm a paying guest did not convince her. She told us they have no maintenance or cleaning staff. We booked this place for 6 nights, but left after 2, no refund. We tried to get a refund for 2 days, our booking agent called the manager multiple times, but she refused and said that we can come talk to her and she'll change our room. She never even knocked on our door to try to resolve this, and every time we looked for her, she was nowhere to be found. There is also no night manager. The receptionist spent her evenings in the parking lot, hanging out with friends. Stay away. Pay a bit more and stay in an actual hotel. After just 2 days in the room, we had to wash all our clothes twice, even though we kept them in a closed suitcase, and they still smelled. Expedia needs to do better in vetting places it advertises on its site. I hold them responsible.

Non raccomando assolutamente a nessuno di pernottate in questa struttura. Io e mio marito ci siamo fermati per una notte prima di partire in trasferta, quando siamo arrivati, alla reception non c’era nessuno. Abbiamo provato a chiamare a voce qualcuno, senza successo. Abbiamo usato il telefono per chiamare e finalmente dopo 10 minuti e’ arrivata la signora addetta alla reception. Non ci ha salutati, non ci ha dato il benvenuto, nulla!!!!! Con la faccia stufata ci ha chiesto il documento d’identità e successivamente ci ha dato la chiave senza dire dove dobbiamo andare per trovare la nostra stanza. Siamo rimasti scioccati da questo comportamento, perche’ per 100$ sentirsi trattati come dell’immondizia non e’ proprio cio’ che volevamo. Se vi volete rovinare l’umore e’ il posto ideale. Oltre all’indifferenza alla reception, quando siamo entrati nella nostra stanza c’era una puzza incredibile di qualcosa di marcio, il frigorifero faceva un rumore che facevamo fatica dí addormentarsi, l’aria condizionata anche faceva rumore ed era impossibile trovare la temperatura ideale, perche’ o faceva troppo freddo, o troppo caldo. Inoltre, non e’ un posto sicuro o accogliente per le famiglie, oppure per le ragazze che viaggiano da sole.

My 3 days of reservation was a complete waste. I had my son (5 years old) and my spouse travelling with me. I booked the hotel after checking on expedia website for late checkin. It clearly says checkin end time \"Anytime\" when i called the hotel around 7PM on my checkin date to inform about late checkin i was shocked to know that after 2AM my booking will be cancelled as \"No Show\" and the doors wont be open. Staff was very rude on the call.My flight to ORD was delay so i landed at 2:30AM. I had no other way. Expedia did not help me even after talking to them for almost an hour. I had to search for a day which was available far away. No refund was provided as well. Wrost experience - Never rely on expedia details and will never book mainstay anymore.

The hallways and stair wells were dirty and always smelled. The garbage cans were always full and the elevator was broken. So I had to walk 3 flights of stairs with bad knees every time. House keeping was only available if you requested it. No breakfast included.

My key card didn’t work twice and one time I went to get it fixed, no one was at the front desk b/c the only person working was cleaning a room. The toilet blocked the first time I used it. The kitchen sink water pressure was nonexistent and the shower water pressure was so low, I’m convinced I can piss harder.

To begin with, there was no one at the front desk. When the front desk staff emerged from the restroom, I greeted her, but she simply glared at me with an angry expression. I repeated my hello, but received the same response. She clearly wasn’t pleased to be at work and was not at all welcoming, particularly the woman with red hair at the front desk. Additionally, the room I stayed in was somewhat unclean; the carpet had a bright pink stain, felt grimy, and the refrigerator was excessively noisy at night, disrupting my sleep. As a result, I lost sleep during my stay.
As I returned at the hotel, the same staff was just hanging out with her friends in the lobby. I said hello and she just ignored me and continue laughing loudly with her friends.

This is by far the worse place I've ever stayed in. This is a place where people live permanently not a real hotel. At 330a.m. we had someone trying to get into our room because the staff tried to put some other family in the same room. This encounter was absolutely terrifying. After all of this i call the front desk and that's what they explained and just said oops our bad. Then at 930a.m. when i got out of the shower the cleaning lady didn't knock or anything and just walked into the room while i had nothing more than my boxers on. What ever you do, do NOT stay here.

In 28 years of traveling, this is easily the most filthy hotel I have ever encountered, and I used to have to travel to Detroit.
The hallways are filthy. My room was not cleaned when I checked in. There was still someone else's trash in the bin, a used cup was in the sink, the previous occupant smeared lipstick on the sinks, a lamp, some of the sheets, etc. As far as I could tell, I only saw one housekeeper who has no chance to clean a property this size. I know she never made it to my room.

There was a chair in the room that was scratched up and in bad shape, which the solution was to throw a cover over it.

The only positives were that the fridge, microwave, and TV worked. Also, I found the staff to be nice. The issues here run so deep that I don't think there's anything they can do.

Overall, just absolutely horrible. It's sad because you can tell that this once was a nice property, but that's long gone. Please, don't even think of staying here
