If you are looking for an economical option for your family in Chicago, the Cottonwood Inn may be the place for you.
While the kitchen is dated, the fridge is stocked with free bottled water and pop.
Marcie keeps the bathroom, bedrooms, living room, and linens very clean.
Everything was easy to access and the hostess was always available. There was a quaint little backyard space that was lit up at night and contained comfortable seating, a fire pit, and a grill.
My only disappointment was the beds. We were surprised when we laid down and realized the beds were air mattresses. Some people in our group didn’t sleep well at all. Upside? No worries about bedbugs.
Also, I have a sensitive nose and immediately noticed that this was a smoking household. That was a bit of a turn-off to me, but the space was still the best choice for our money. We liked being able to prepare meals which saved us a lot of money.
I also enjoyed getting to know the host, Marcie. She was friendly and so concerned that we were satisfied with everything.
