I arrived at the hotel and was informed that they were sold out and did not have a reservation. The hotel is blaming Expedia for the error. We will not be staying at this hotel or using Expedia again!

First time staying at a Grand Stay property and we were impressed. The property appears to have been recently renovated and our single queen room/suite was very nice. Having a bedroom (with a door that closes) separate from a sitting area w/ sleeper sofa TV and kitchenette (w/ full size refrigerator, mini- stove, microwave, and dishwasher) is very nice. The bathroom was roomy, the tub/shower had very good water pressure, and the HVAC worked well. The only (minor) complaint would be that the bed comfort was merely average and a little firm. Other minor issues- the weekend breakfast ends at 9AM- a bit too soon for most and a bit soon compared to other hotels. The breakfast was standard and compares to other non-budget hotels (but no fruit was found- maybe we arrived to close to the 9am cut off); the ONLY ice machine we could locate was on first floor at one end meaning if you get a room on 3rd floor opposite end it's a bit of a trek to get some ice. The pool was nice if not a bit small, and the hot tub again nice but with a capacity of 6 also a bit small. There was a noticeable amount of sand in the hot tub, and the pool and hot tub smelled very strongly of chemical/chlorine. Given that our room rate was well under $100 I would definitely stay here again, but room rates vary widely based on demand and we must have found a slow weekend.

Many issues with the stay. Keys would not work in the door to where we had to go down 3 times to try to fix. Broken sofa bed sticking out of the couch. No sheets for the bed--guy at the counter wouldn't bring up so we had to go down to get them. No shampoo or conditioner, broken shower curtain and the shower head was not completely attached to the wall, hanging off. We stayed here a couple of years ago and it was ok. Probably won't be back! Oh and nothing hot for breakfast..there was a couple of muffins out. Nothing else. Not even any fruit.

We like staying at Grandstay because it’s close to campus and connected to Old Chicago but our room this time was horrible. Room was very shabby…Stained carpet, shower curtain rod poorly attached, stained tub, hole in wall behind door. Hallway to old Chicago beat up and trashy looking.
