  • Don't believe the advertising
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/12/05
    Read listings, read ads, called the staff to confirm the "high-speed internet connection". Turns out they were just kidding; it has never worked. One staffer said that while the rooms are wired, they have never had a DSL provider for the connections. I just found reviews from last November (nine months ago) saying the same thing. The ...

    3. Room dirty
    4. No towels
    5. Mold in shower
    6. Thermostat did not work
    7. Internet did not work
    8. Manager is an idiot

    Plus many more problems!

  • not thrilled
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/25/05
    I was booked into this hotel by priceline and was concerned before my arrival due to the reviews on several travel web sites. I found most negative reviews to be fair although I did not witness any of the illegal activity mentioned by other reviewers. It was highly disorganized, taking an hour on the phone with customer service at priceline to ...

  • A Purple Paradise
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/25/05
    The Purple Hotel had the most friendliest and helpful staff. The food was amazing....and They have a Sunday Brunch that is to DIE for. The rooms were very clean and cozy, excellent value for your money. It is close to everything and they have a sandvolleyball court!!! They have the best steaks in the world!

  • Nothing illegal, but nothing great either
    By AkashJ, 07/09/05
    I live in Evanston, and my mom stayed at the Purple Hotel during her visit. I didn't see any of the alarming activities that the other reviewers have described, but I can't say that we were really satisfied with the place, either.

    The infrastructure is run-down, the pool dirty, the carpets nasty, and there's a vague mildew smell ...

  • Unsafe
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/26/05
    I attended a convention there, and many of my fellow convention members did not feel safe there. I noticed several non-guests loitering by the exits and in the parking lot. I saw no security what so ever.

    It was so bad that women in our convention had to be escorted and couldn't go anywhere by themselves.

    Do not stay in this hotel if you can help it.

  • Never again even with a 10 foot pole
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/07/05
    You could not pay me to stay there again. I felt unsafe from the other hotel guests and saw a number of illegal activities including solicitation and smelled weed in the dimly lit stairwell. The elevators broke, the hot tub was nasty, the service in the restaurant took forever (though the food was quite good when it arrived after 45 minutes), and ...

  • Stay as far away as possible
    By Michael, 06/06/05
    This is not a place to stay. The amount of illegal activity seen by this reviewer in a 3 night stay was atrocious. I cannot give any good reviews about this place, nor can I elaborate without breaching yahoo's guidelines. However, I hope that yahoo does not take this review down as the cheap prices might have some people going there that really ...

  • Bed flat like a cardboard
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/06/05
    The bed didn't provide good cushion at all. Although it was a King Size which is good for size, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are use to a normal mattress like the one in your house.
