Be warned
We have stayed at this property previously and have no issues. But this time we had one. I booked this online and had stated we would pay at the property when we arrived. I had my bank credit card on file with Hotels.com but was using a different card for the room once arrived, as we have done prior. I informed the desk when we arrived of this, and they scanned my Discover card for the charges. But to my dismay, after we checked out and returned home, they went ahead and charged my bank card and not my Discover card as I had asked. As we normally stay here when we come to town, this is unacceptable and we will not be using this hotel in the future. Be wary when booking here.

Avoid this hotel!
I was very unhappy with our stay. To start, we got an email a day or 2 after booking that the pool was out “Through September 2024”. It was too late for us to cancel as the marathon was that weekend and hotels were booked out. We stayed from October 11-14, so I expected the pool to be fixed. It wasn’t, but no biggie. Upon arrival, we found that our room was very nasty. The floors were gross and it didn’t look like it had been vacuumed. We have 2 young kids and we wouldn’t let them walk on the floors without shoes. There were sticky spots on the countertops. Again, we tried to overlook it and make the best of it. At breakfast the next morning, I went to fill up my son’s juice cup, only for ants to fall in the cup from where the juice dispenser was covered in ants. We spent the whole day in Chicago and came back around 8:30, only to find that out toilet wouldn’t flush (and it wasn’t due to usage, we had been out all day). We called the front desk and the guy just said “sorry, maintenance isn’t here. It can’t be fixed right now. But you can use the bathroom in the lobby”. Again, we have 2 small children and we were on the 3rd floor. So we had to take the elevator down every time they needed to go. The next morning, I went down to the lobby to use the bathroom and was accosted by an “employee” for using the “employee bathroom” that they told us to use. And then she argued with me when I told her the other guy told us to use it. Rude staff. Nasty hotel. Not staying here again.

Sketchy AF
Searched for properties with a bathtub in room & a pool. This property popped up. I've booked Best Westerns through Hotels.com before & NEVER had an issue. Booked, with both of those amenities still showing. Got there to discover none of the rooms had a bath tub & the pool was empty/closed as well. Chair in room had a weird stain on it. There were a lot of sketchy looking men hanging around the back parking lot smoking cigarettes with the door to the hotel open. Whole first floor hallway smelled like cigarettes. Parking lot smelled of urine. None of the keycard doors to enter the building locked properly. Kids went to get a soda from the vending machine, soda wouldn't come out because there were a bunch of empty beer cans shoved into where they come out of. Would not recommend AT ALL! Only stayed there because I couldn't immediately get the $ I paid back to go somewhere else! We left early in the morning, way before check out! The free breakfast turned out to be pretty good, but that's it! Also the body wash dispenser in the shower was empty.

I thought it was a decent experience. The pool was closed which stinks. All of the doors to get into the building didn’t lock anymore which felt unsafe. Rooms were clean though and breakfast was decent for being free

Disappointed the pool was still not available. Site noted it was closed for September. We were there in October. Exit doors were still being propped open during the day hours...locked at night. The facilities were clean and room itself had all the amenities needed. Staff available when we needed. Nice breakfast offered.
