This review is in relation to budget hotels, if youāre looking at this review, then Iām assuming you are already OK with budget hotels.
The room itself was fine. Recently renovated, clean, not a lot of amenities, but itās as fine a place to lay your head down for a night as any. If youāre a solo male traveler, you will likely be fine with this hotel.
The area around the hotel is just ok. Itās not unsafe per se, but it is Joliet, which in and of itself is not a great area.
This is by no means the fault of the hotel, but on the night I was there, the hallways reeked of the smell of marijuana smoke. This hotel strikes me as a place that experiences this every weekend; but again, youāre in Joliet and this is unfortunately par for the course.
The staff is by no means friendly, but that comes with the area/clientele.
I would stay here again if it proves the most cost effective option for my trip, but I will also explore other options in the future.
