Verified Reviews of Chicago Southland Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Not so good."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
No is under construction. I was not told of this prior to my reservations. The bathroom toilet leaks or makes noise all night. There's a phone in the room that doesn't work. You can't reach the front desk. There was garbage in the hallway from the construction guys who were fixing rooms Overall I would give you guys an F.

"I’ve stayed at better places."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
It's impolite to have conversation on the phone while assisting someone at work. Room booked for four people, only had towels for one person. Carpet was filthy. Breakfast selection was nonexistent.
