For a non smoking facility people were smoking in there rooms. The smoke got into our room do to the gaps around the door. There was no stool to sit on in the handicapped shower. The virtual check in was not very good could not here the person due to the outside noise.

Had a quiet spacious king size deluxe room that faced the back. Probably would have been noisy if the room were on the front street side as Lombard is quite busy. Nice garden in the back. Lobby is small but lots of natural light with big picture windows. Small but convenient parking lot in the basement if you have a car. Got a mobile discount price.

Noisy and dirty room with old and decaying fixtures. We couldn't sleep because of bad stench in the room and noise from the road. Dirty carpets throughout the hotel. No one present at the lobby which had it's shutters down. No response after multiple rings as well. Would never use this place again. Not sure how it got it ratings and stars.

Location, value. and free parking were great. The outdoor garden area and sitting area with rooftop access were nice for our kiddo to have a spot to reset. Housekeeping was super friendly and helpful to get us extra pillows for sofa sleeper and replenish towels daily.
The bathroom photo listed onsite is not accurate. I was told this was a photo image where it makes it look bigger, but no bathroom is big in size except handicap accessible rooms. We were on the first floor street side and traffic was super loud. We were grateful for trees outside our room for visual privacy, but the noise was a full day's adjustment and medication needed for our autism spectrum child. Be sure to ask for a higher floor, interior room if you want to sleep.

Breakfast was not available. The rooms with king size beds are really nice. The rooms with 2 queen size beds are too small for 4 persons, but the stuff and cleaning ladies are so nice and polite that they would make every traveler satisfied with stay at this hotel.
The stuff!

I enjoyed how close it was to so many things. It had such a lovely view and everything was clean.
The parking is tight and it's first come first serve. The shower is such a tiny stall with an extremely high shower head that I'm not sure how you can properly clean yourself as a 5'2" human! All the staff were great but don't attempt to find anyone in the morning for assistance as the only person you can find is streaming in the kiosk next to the desk and can only check you in.

Location was fine
There is no front desk person/concierge. They have a kiosk connected to someone outsourced overseas. It was incredibly slow and ineffective. Service was 1/10.

Only in town for business for one night. Location is really great, there is free garage parking which we needed, and the reception staff was really nice. While the rooms are a little outdated and basic, they are exceptionally clean. The mattress is firm and we actually had one of the best sleeps there. Outlets, wifi all worked. Really great value and would totally stay here again. Great small Indonesian coffee shop one block away, and just a few walking blocks from Union St where there are restaurants and bars. Area also felt safe even at midnight.
1. Parking is first come first served. The spaces are also mostly compact; we had a Jeep Compass for reference. We were fortunate to grab one of the last spots when we checked in late! 2. Just be careful if you are using the stairs instead of the elevator (we only did because we were one flight up from reception lobby, not because there was any issue with elevator which was working fine). The stairs are carpeted with a pattern that sort of visually makes it hard to see the step. Wasn't an issue for us otherwise.
