Check in was very easy. The location is definitely a little sketchy, very dirty outside the building and lots of homeless people nearby but it was stated in the listing pretty much. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and there was not enough blankets. The shower rod kept falling. I don’t recommend for people with back issues, but it was affordable and if you’re literally only looking for a place to rest your head, this is it. I’m not sure about conceal carry laws in Illinois, but definitely gives you a peace of mind having your piece with you in this area
