Upon arrival, there was no one there to check Us in. We waited 30 min, rang the bell, called several Times, heard the phone ringing but no one came out. We finally called the main best western line and by the time they called someone was back in the office. We checked in and stayed in the room with a jacuzzi tub. The room was unfinished, the base trim wasn’t done, no smart TV, and filthy dirty with long black hairs all around the bath tub and ants crawling on the night stands. The next morning at 9am we went to get breakfast and the eggs and bacon were ice cold. Miserable experience.

Room was ok, found unknown red pill on the floor. TV difficult to work, it requires 2 remotes. Toilet must be flushed more than once for waste to go down completely. Front desk staff seemed incompetent, confusion charging correct credit card. Refused to give me a receipt said receipt would come from Expedia not them.

the manager kicked out a tourist visiting from canada and left me on the side of the road at 4am in Chicago , a city I have no idea about. I left one day early, the hotel smells, the staff sticks, save your $. my room stayed clogged and was the last to get cleaned despite booking a kings size master
