When we arrived, the front desk person was courteous, but we interrupted her getting her nails polished by some guy. On the way to our room, we noticed the hallway was very dirty. This wasn't just old carpeting, it was filthy. We'd driven a lot of hours, and needed to get some sleep, or we'd have gone to another place.... More

Misleading advertising for this hotel (does not live up to expectations of advertising). Old style (1950/60) accommodation which by today’s standards is closer to a backpacker hotel. Poor maintenance standard – many items not functioning properly (if at all). Poor facilities – very used and dated. Staff only partially helpful or polite. Could NOT recommend at all.

We stayed at the Magnuson recently while attending my husband's high school reunion. It's an older hotel, convenient to I-90, a few minutes east of Chicago. If on a budget, it might well serve your needs as the posted rate was $89 (+11%? tax) weekeds, $79 Sun-Thur. Our room had two comfortable, queen beds, luggage rack, small fridge, TV, desk,... More

The Magnuson Hotel in Hammond, Indiana is an excellent place to stay. The staff is very friendly and everyone there is bi-lingual speaking both English and Spanish. They go out of their way to make sure your stay is a comfortable one. If you experience any problems just speak to the manager and she will make things right for you.... More

First off the hotel is one of the last by a industrial plant. When u walk in its dark and gloomy. Not welcoming. The front desk staff was nice. When I went to my room the hallway made me feel like I was in a thriller movie. Very dark, wallpaper coming down and a few doors were busted. I got... More

When we arrived at the hotel, it was dark and the exterior looked okay given the limited visibility. After checking in, we walked to the room and noticed the hallways smelled bad. That was nothing compared to the stench emanating from our room. When I opened the door, the stale cigarette smoke smell was so strong, without stepping foot in... More

Okay this location is now a Magnuson Hotel and is trashy. The door was busted to my room, no alarm clocks, phone didn't work, cold water nob for the shower did not work (had to use pocket knife to turn the water on), a/c didn't work properly, flies were all over the breakfast items and it was right next to...

Stopped at this hotel outside of Chicago. It is located right off the interstate. We stayed on the first floor. A party/reception going on in the banquet room when we arrived. Very loud, we could hear in our room. Turned tv on to drown out the thumping music. Room was clean. Bathroom needs to be updated, hairdryer did not work... More

Trying to save money by avoiding Chicago hotel rates. Found this place and save $150+ than staying in the Loop for 2 night. The hotel looks a little scary on the outside. It is located in and industrial area and it looks like a rough neighborhood. The woman that checked us in was friendly. It was a small room with... More
