Public records show 21 inspections at La Qunita Inn & Suites Chicago Lake Shore stretching back to 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 17, 2019. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Note that La Qunita Inn & Suites Chicago Lake Shore's inspection history hasn't been updated since Oct 17, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
