VIBE INN - WHIRLPOOLS SUITES - Lyons

I will be returning again. I love the Jacuzzi and the King suites they offer carpet or tile floor units and they very clean for the most part with non-smoking. They do offer balconies for the people that do smoke so I do love that option but I just had to have the room with the Jacuzzi.

The hot tub was amazing.

Hot tub worked....Loved everything about it. Room was very clean and the bathroom was clean,had bodywash and shampoo. Clean towels.

The property itself doesn’t look like much from the outside but the room we got was pretty cool. I chose this hotel specifically to have a nice big tub (that should be added in the filters when searching for a hotel on Expedia in my opinion ). We got a jacuzzi tub room with a fridge and a microwave. Some of the other reviews said they didn’t have a fridge so I’m not sure if all the rooms have them but ours did . The jacuzzi was clean and worked well. It’s highly inconvenient that they make you pay the security deposit in cash, they don’t accept card for the deposit. They also don’t allow visitors and are really weird whenever there's any type of activity right outside your room. I’m not talking about rowdy activity or anything crazy but as simple as a person walking by. I assume this is due to the location and they must’ve been burned before but it made us extremely uneasy . They called me once on my cell number provided and then a few hours later on the room phone when we came in and out of the room. If not for that I’d say it was a decent stay and there’s a great falafel place near by.

Rooms was smaller than i expected, but comfotable. Temp setting was also comfortable. Hot tub was clean and also a decent size.

Check-in was fast and easy. Whirlpool was amazing. I went in there and the water was at good temperature. Bed was hard and comfy. Pillows were also comfortable! I had a good stay.

The jacuzzi was nice and clean. The only thing i didnt like was finding that my window was unlocked prior to me arriving. Could have been a mistake but made me a little uneasy noticing this a day after being there, someone could hav3 easily got in our room.

Whirlpool tub was great, sheets bedding and towels were clean and great quality. The air conditioning was super cold! The room itself could use some updates like new carpet and maybe a smart tv but overall our stay was perfect!

Love how big the room is and that you have a microwave and fridge can't beat it here

jacuzzi was great, lots of hot water. fun night for sure

Only thing I didn’t like is who ever cleaning the rooms not clean it real good or sanitizing I had ants around my Jacuzzi tub because somebody had probably previous had beer in there and it was a beer bottle top so I had to clean it myself. The shower was nasty. I wasn’t able to take a shower I had to just wash up. when I pay that type of money, I expect to be able to take showers and relax without having to clean it. The overall experience is cool. The customer service is very great.

Property is not kept clean, nothing in place for a hotel. No microwave or even to give you just hot water. The staff don't make any effort to meet the need of the customer. First room I was checked in had a leaking roof. The rooms smell dusky and carpet is dirty. Will not come back.

The room was clean. The AC worked well. The hot tub worked well. However, there was a small piece of floor stripping missing around the hot tub, and there was a huge water damage stain in the shower ceiling that leaked water when we turned on the shower. So while we’re showering, water was dripping out of the ceiling onto our heads. I was infuriated. This is not acceptable. We didn’t discover the stain until later in the night, and didn’t realize that it was leaking water until the next morning when we showered. Absolutely ridiculous.

This was clearly a hookup motel. The rude staff was behind glass. There was only one person allowed in the “lobby”, which was the size of a bathroom, at a time. There was a cash ONLY deposit required for a hot tub suite. There was an ATM in the “lobby”, which also had a fee. The rules were no one under 21, which was a very good rule. When we turned the TV on, it was on channel “DVD1” which was an extremely graphic adult movie. “DVD2” was the same. There was a wedge pillow on the king sized bed. At the foot of the bed there were two easy-to-clean chairs set up as if it was a viewing area. The hot tub was huge and could fit two people laying down which was in the corner. The corner was completely mirrored. The bed and hot tub were clean. The floor didn’t have any carpet which would make you assume they would mop occasionally. It was very dirty. Going from the hot tub to several feet away to sit down to put socks on, our feet were black. It was disgusting to think of what was on the floor. There was black mold/mildew on the bottom of the bathroom door. There was also a mattress propped up against the end of one of the building. People were smoking pot outside.

Older hotel but clean and good price

We liked that everything about this property was clean and quiet!

Staff was friendly and the check in was easy and the room was clean

Nice front desk and cleaning people, but im upset that my hot tub in my room was beyond dirty. We ran it with bleach to help clean and it still was pushing out garbage from the jets. Comfy bed with microwave and fridge.

The room was disgusting, it smelled terrible. We needed to sleep and only lasted 10 minutes in the room. Afterwards, we felt lightheaded as we were induced by some airborne drugs.

Very quiet and beautiful. The room was a little musty, but they took care of it right away and everything is fine. Will stay again.

My experience at this property was a bit unique. The staff here were more than helpful and accommodated all of my needs. There were a few things worth noting. The property requires your deposit for incidentals be in cash. Nowhere on their hotel page nor during the booking process does it mention being strictly cash. The room was OK but no closet or storage area for clothing or luggage. Had the room been economy I wouldn't have minded it but this was supposed to be the king whirlpool suite. The bed linens were very thin and not the best quality. I would suggest bringing your own blanket if you prefer sleepng in warmth. Although I had requested a non-smoking room there was a stagnant smoke odor in the area. Maybe it wasn't in that specific room but the smell was all over my clothes and the items in my suitcase after making it home. The best amenity by far is the whirlpool. Experiencing that made the other issues disappear. If you plan to stay here I would strongly recommend booking a room with a whirlpool.

We came into the city for a 3 night event at the United Center. Easy check in and out process. Room was pretty clean and mostly quiet. Could update carpets. We were comfortable. Would have enjoyed a little extra lighting and outlets. Jacuzzi tub worked great! We had an emergency and the front desk was there to help within 20 minutes. We will be back!

The staff was wonderful. Got a king room with jacuzzi. Room was clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable. Area was quiet with plenty of restuarants and shopping nearby. Close to downtown Chicago. Will definitely recommend! Will be back!

Loved the jacuzzi room. Room was fairly clean. Parking lot was easy to miss but also easy to park in. Staff was friendly. Kinda weird to find a sex pillow on the bed but otherwise good experience.

Service was great, staff was friendly. Room was clean for the most part. Ceiling had signs of water damage from upstairs unit. Bed was not very comfortable but not horrible if you like a firm bed. Had plenty of pillows, even a "play" pillow(wedge). All in all for the savings from staying downtown id choose it again.

If it wasn’t for the morning staff who have a nasty attitude I would give this place a five star.

Very quiet and beautiful. The room was a little musty, but they took care of it right away and everything is fine. Will stay again.

Use a car to get to this place as it is pretty far away from rapid transit. I chose it because of the proximity to the Brookfield Zoo - great place! The biggest turn off was the difficulty I had with my check in. The only way I could key in my credit card pin number was to either contort my hand through the slot at the bottom of their security glass - which was impossible - or give my pin number to the clerk to enter the digits into the key pad - or pay cash. How hard can it be to deepen the opening on the counter so that the credit card machine can be passed through for the customer to enter their credit card information. Ridiculous! But that's not all. I tightened the screws of the toilet seat in the room as it was sliding back and forth. I also went and bought new batteries for the television remote as it wasn't working. Turned out that the remote had an issue. I chose to use the shower instead of the whirlpool in the room.

The desk clerk isn’t good at all , I’m a regular customer there and I don’t like the way I get treated at the desk

The lady who checked me in was so kind and helpful. I appreciate that type of service.

Close to Chicago

Super clean! Super relaxing! The jacuzzi was so amazing and it felt super comfortable. Restaurants within walking distance and staff is super professional and friendly. I cannot wait to go back

Loved the jacuzzi room. Room was fairly clean. Parking lot was easy to miss but also easy to park in. Staff was friendly. Kinda weird to find a sex pillow on the bed but otherwise good experience.
