Hotels near Market Square, Calumet City

I stopped in this Choice Hotels property while in the area for business. I chose the hotel since I have stayed in most of the hotels in the area such as the three Marriott properties down the road, the all-new Holiday Inn Express and the Hampton since its right next door to the Byway Brewery. One of the reasons I choose this hotel was the price. Most of the hotels in the area were extremely high..( conventions? Dunes? ) that night. The reviews seemed to be pretty good for this hotel as well. First off this hotel is a little off the beaten path, tucked away in a little alcove off the highway but tucked away in a secure location so one star for that. It s also two minutes away from a Starbucks, JJ Fish and Chicken and across the road from Walmart and Cabellas'. From the perspective of location, it's nicely situated in a secure compound with lots of parking. I checked in quite easily to this massive property and got the King Room I had reserved. Check-in was seamless and the staff were very nice. I got my key and went to my room. The room itself was nothing special, it had a lingering musty smell, the AC/Heat unit was a little noisy. There were some chips and dents in the furniture, the carpet looked old and the room itself was a little dreary. My bathroom was spotless and very clean so that's a plus. I did get a good nights sleep. The gym was okay and no one was using it, it does need a modernization. The cool thing is its right off the pool which is the hotels' main attraction. I didn't actually use the pool but it was packed with kids and grown-ups. The breakfast was a saving grace with multiple options for the calorie counter and those who indulge. The food was fresh, well prepared and the staff working the breakfast area were attentive and refilling food stations when needed. Pros - Location, Price, Pool Cons - A little on the tired side and in need of a facelift, The fitness centre is okay but could use modernization, no USB ports and hard to find places to plugin, and the wifi was okay not blazing fast but I was able to surf and send emails. Will I stay here again? I might give it a second chance.

We spent the night there while traveling home from vacation. Since we are Diamond members of Hilton, we try to stay at a Hilton family hotel. This hotel was rated pretty well so we figured it was a decent place to stay. We had some valuable items in our car that needed to come into the hotel with us and I loaded up the cart to take them into our room. Heading into the hotel, a gentleman informed me that someone’s lovely child had pulled the fire alarm and the elevators wouldn’t work. So we had to haul all of it up the stairs with no one to assist us (my husband had major surgery a little over 6 weeks ago and should not have been lifting these heavy things). There was pink ice cream hardened on the carpeted stairway that no one had addressed. Arriving into our room, we were greeted by drapes that had been shredded by someone (see picture). This definitely did not live up to Hilton standards. I would have left then but it was 10pm and we were exhausted. In the morning, I was going to take a shower but it looked so nasty there was no way I was going into it. I then called the front desk to see whether the elevator had been repaired yet…it had not. However, the phone in the room didn’t work so I had to call them from my cell phone. I asked to speak with the manager to address the issues we had with this room and was told it wasn’t only my room but that they were going to remodel the place and weren’t fixing things that needed to be repaired. I also mentioned that no one had offered to help us bring our items up the stairs the night before and there was no offer of helping us bring these items back down either, after my sharing with her the fact that my husband had surgery recently. We will never know if this is the truth because we will NEVER revisit this dump.

I had a great visit I was taking care of by the front desk and The room was clean and up to date and it had a big screen tv which was great while I was in room relaxing place was quiet and peaceful I would recommend this location to others.

Travel lodge Chicago This HAS to be the worst hotel/motel I’ve ever stayed in up to this point… As I pulled in I became worried about the quality of the hotel just by look at the outside of the building, but as seen from other places I’ve stayed, I shouldn’t judge a hotel just by the outside appearance… But in this case it proved to be correct. As I entered the hotel lobby inside there was a plexi glass screen covering the front desk, this glass looks to have been built into the foundation, meaning it was there pre-Covid. I asked the person at the front desk and it turns out it’s bulletproof glass which made me very nervous, so right off the start I didn’t feel all that safe. I was given a room key to one of the base level rooms, this made me slightly at ease as I could park directly outside my room so that way if someone tried to break in to the car I was driving I could hear the alarm go off. It only got worse as I entered my room. Floorboards have been lifted off the ground and I could see through to the foam padding beneath the floor boards, there was a fist sized hole in the wall and the immediate smell of smoke and body odor filled the room. I kept all of my belongings on a table or the sink top as I felt it was too dirty to leave them on the ground. Due to people smoking just outside my room, the air coming in from A/C unit only was part cold part smoky The entire state of the room just gave me a feeling of grossness and disgust. And it just became worse with the bathroom, it also smelled like body odor, and there wasn’t even so much a plastic dowel for the toilet paper to sit on, Just a 3/4 used roll of toilet paper sitting on the top of the toilet tank. in addition to that somebody left a little surprise for me in the toilet (there was pee left in the toilet). At the front desk I inquired where if I could drink the tapwater, usually I will get an “ I believe so“ or “There are water bottles in the room” but not here... what I got was “ I have no idea but probably not, you can buy water if you want to have a drink”. I found it weird that they “believe” that was sink water is not safe to drink, yet they had cups next to the sink? They did suggest getting ice from the machine and letting it melt if I didn’t feel like paying for water, but that would’ve been very time consuming. I feel like hotels/motels should be able to provide some free of charge water, if not from the tap then somewhere else on the property. The room description when I booked it said “mini-fridge” and “microwave” were available Which turned out to be completely false. There is a common use microwave next to the check in desk that people can use but especially now during Covid I felt it wasn’t the best idea to be using a microwave everybody has used. She informed me that the queen bed rooms don’t have microwaves and mini fridges and they don’t know how to change the description online, but the rooms with king beds did have them, so I did inqu

It has been almost a year since we were robbed in our hotel room. The so-called “head of security” and “head surveillance”has done an excellent job ignoring every phone call and voicemail since that day and has lied repeatedly about getting back to us. When I say, LIED REPEATEDLY, he has LIED REPEATEDLY. His tone is so pompous and arrogant and he has all but excused the employee(s) who entered our room and stole our money and valuables. We were still guests there but housekeeping emptied our ENTIRE room. Not 1 sock, shoe, or shirt that was in the closet made it down to their lost and found since they mistakenly assumed we had checked out when in reality we had 2 days left. Everything in our room was “removed” including money and other valuables. The security on staff continued to laugh in our face. The head of surveillance condoned what happened saying “can’t prove it so sorry about that”. The hotel management on duty was useless. Don’t even risk it.

This is our go-to motel when staying in Northwest Indiana. Welcoming lobby area where everything is spotless and tidy. Halls and vending areas were well maintained. Our room was very clean and refreshed daily during our week stay. A/C unit was one of the quietest we've experience in a long time. No grumbling and rumbling every time it turned on. Room lighting was good, towel and linens were more than nice, very good mattress and room seating. No complaints at all. Front desk was always friendly and helpful. Whenever we saw staff at the desk they always took time to smile and say hello. Jay took care of us at check-in and was extremely kind and outgoing, a great personality for this position. We met Tina taking care of the breakfast area and had a nice conversation with her, very personable. Breakfast always included hot items like eggs and sausage/bacon as well as a waffle maker. Plenty of fruit, cereal, yogurts, muffins and always presented well. Area is kept spotless. After driving 10 hours to get home to GA, my wife realized she left her prized make-up mirror behind in our room. She contacted Ash the next day who quickly confirmed the oversight on our part and was more than happy to box up the item and send it to our home. So extremely kind! I may be missing a few names (David and Kendall? and others) but everyone was so nice. This motel may not a fancy pool but it has everything one needs for a comfortable stay, the most important to us is being a kind, friendly staff, clean, comfortable accommodations and a nice breakfast to start the day. It's in a great area for restaurants and shopping, pretty much anything you need. Well lit parking area, always a safe feeling. Will stay here again in the future, high recommend you give them a try.

The Holiday Inn Express at Crestwood provided my daughter and me a place to stay outside of Chicago. The rate was great and the staff at the desk/check-in were personable and very helpful. They accommodated a request to give a room key to my daughter who was arriving in the wee hours of the morning. When she arrived she was warmly welcomed and given the key without a hassle. The hotel itself is kind of dated and a little sad. For example, the bathroom door didn't shut; a lamp was without a lightbulb; and the towels were a bit on the skimpy side. But overall, it did the job and the people helped increase the overall rating of my stay.

Make sure you tell the front desk that you want your room cleaned every day or they will say they don't have the staff to clean and wont' clean your room. They will have you bring your soiled towels to the front desk to get clean towels if you don't have them clean your room every day. It's ridiculous that for the amount you pay that they don't want to clean your room every day. They blame it on COViD. When you tell them they will clean your room and after that it was GREAT. The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. From the front desk to the Maintenance personnel they are all helpful and professional. The staff is wonderful and the rooms are nice, clean, and cool in the summer. This was my 3rd stay at this location and the first time they didn't clean my room unless I asked..

Great stop to get a good night sleep no bed bugs !! Has a gas station down the street and not far from the highways and it’s cleaner then the rest of the hotels on Cicero
