Great experience
Always great when I take a trip to Chicago and staying at this hotel. They are constantly improving the property, rooms, service etc. and that is reason enough to keep coming back.

The price is reasonable for a location not by the airport. Traffic was terrible in the area, but that's kinda normal in Chicago.

It's cheap no frills motel, so don't come in with your expectations high. But it's clean and safe, and you won't find yourself in danger staying here.

We didn't even stay, as we where checking in we realized what kind of hotel it was. We just turned around and ask for a refund, we'll se if we get it back, I have my doubts. This is a per hour hotel, if you know what I mean. Dont waste your money here, unless you need it for a few hours, at your own risk.

No frills but a good value!
This is a no-frills motel. It was probably built in the 1950s as a roadside motel and the decor has been maintained. A very clean property, and parking is free and inside the motel courtyard - a wonderful convenience as parking in Chicago can be a nightmare. Starbucks and White Castle are close by, and the nearby Andersonville neighborhood has a lot of nice restaurants and stores. Again, if you are looking for plush towels, Egyptian cotton sheets, and other nice amenities this probably isn't the place for you. But, if you are looking for a cozy, clean room in a safe neighborhood give this a shot.

The hotel air conditioner was out of order. This information was not provided upon check in. I was told by the management system that just need to open the windows to get fresh air. They did offer to refund me 50% after I was there for two hours. The management was interacting appropriately to handle this matter.

Property is old which is fine, but the front desk was extremely slow, did not have my reservation, then did everything through paperwork and file folders so it took a while. The room had no heat. When I reported it, I was told that none of the units had heat or cooling. It is 40 degrees at night and the room opens directly onto the street so heat should be available.

When I checked in the staff member at the front desk threw my ID and card around. Yelled at me for writing my name down on the reservation instead of my dads (even though I was the one who paid for the room and set up the whole reservation). He was also angry at me for being 20 and not 21, but that wasn’t a requirement on the Expedia listing when I booked the room. The beds were uncomfortable. There didn’t seem to be an AC so we had to leave a window cracked open the entire night. There were stains on the pillow cases. It’s also just a very noisy side of town. The daytime staff was much friendlier though.

Our TV volume was not working. Employee came to look at it, said there was nothing they could do about it, and it was bad to sleep with the TV on anyways. He then proceeded to argue with me about how much they would refund us. We won't be staying there again.
