Baymont Inns & Suites

Oh My Ghandi!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!
This is by absolute FAR the WORST hotel experience I ave ever had in my life. Let me explain, this place is undergoing a extremely deep renovation.
However there is NO dang excuse to put people through the torture of having to live around your mess.
First thing. It took 15 minutes for the hotel receptionist to get to the counter. That’s pathetic.
Second thing, The entire hallway was devastated. I mean walls were falling apart, doors open to half of the room and carpet pieces were all over the place. A carpet replacement team was there and they were laying to waste the rooms in an effort to replace carpet. The most aggravating part was the fact I actually had to FLIP a couch that was in the middle of the hall. I couldn’t fit the hotel cart around it to get to our room.
Third. The door had a stop lock on it broken. I mean it was like being on the other end of NYPD busting down a door for a drug bust. Very unsafe feeling. I actually had to rig a glass cup on the door handle so that if some idiot tried to break in I could hear them coming.
Fourth. The breakfast was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. The whole hotel smelled like burnt waffles. I was glad to wear yesterday’s clothing before going to eat because I would have smelled like the Pillsbury dough boy all over Chicago. Warm orange juice and warm apple juice. Not to mention there was this 6’4 Paul Bunyan cinnamon roll chick that was hawking the waffle machine. She made waffles for EIGHT PEOPLE. I mean literally she stood there and made waffles for EIGHT FOLKS. A poor customer walked up and saw what she was doing and had to ask her husband if he wanted anything else to eat. I really thought that if someone approached her she was going to just bite their head off.
I guess everything in Chicago couldn’t go perfect. It’s such a darn shame that it literally had to go this low. As pissed as I am with my experience, my memories of Chicago far outweigh the trash that is this place.
