Verified Reviews of Chicago Southland Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "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.
