NOT A Traditional Hotel
To be clear, this is NOT a traditional hotel. It is an extended stay studio apartment style property. The front desk closes at 7:00 pm and is closed on Sunday. The manager was very nice and accommodating. This is a good place to sleep and take advantage of its proximity ti the Metra train station that gets yo cheaply into Chicago. Nothing is a safe walking distance from the place. Nearest restaurants and convenience stores are a mile away. Bed was comfortable. TV had about 30 standard cable and local channels. Nice fridge and microwave. There's a cooktop if you bring your own pots, pans, and utensils to use. So, NOT a traditional hotel, but a good place to rest after a day of sightseeing and enjoying Lake Michigan.

Not a place to stay if checking in late
Had I known that this place isn't staffed 24/7 I wouldn't have booked a stay here. Reminds me alot of Motel 6 and is more like an apartment a very expensive apartment. Front desk is only staffed 11 AM to 7 PM. That is a major inconvenience for late night check ins. Calling a 224 number upon arrival and have to wait for God knows how long to check in. We attempted to check in early and waited for almost an hour to do so. It ruined my experience and ended up getting to Six Flags later after 2pm. The room smells of cigarette smoke too and needs some serious updating and painting. Will not be staying here again.

Worst place to stay!!! People spitting over the balcony and empty food containers left out for God only knows why! The room was completely filthy. The sheet for the bed wasn’t even put on properly! The microwave was encrusted in old food. Black mold everywhere. Dead cockroaches stuck to walls and ceilings. The floor hadn’t been cleaned ever. Furniture was damaged and dirty. Heater/AC unit didn’t work properly. Curtains dirty. The place had never been cleaned.
Do NOT stay here.
