6/10 Good

Area seemed safe enough. Went for a run down to the Wrigley area in the middle of the day and was never concerned. Didn't try that at night though. The "breakfast" here is minimal. There's a coffee machine and some cereal and they were out of milk. Calling this a provided breakfast is a little misleading.

If you want to stay in a motel right out of the 1950’s, this is the place for you!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The motel overall was ok . It could use a bathroom redo very old and room could use new carpet and updated. The TV wouldn't come on. But overall it was good. If I would come back to Chicago I believe I would rent there again

This is not a hotel option to pass on. The hotel is close to transit so getting to downtown and to a Cubs game is easy to do. There are alsom many dining and options and small uniqure shops along Clark and Broadway.

Clean place

Front desk guy was friendly. Room was clean. Easy to go dowtown by train.

Solid motel of yesteryear, I'd strongly recommend you bring along ear plugs or just turn on the fan for background (white) noise. Houskeeping A+ every day.

Convenient and inexpensive

Great location for Edgewater and Andersonville. Convenient to several popular gay bars. Inexpensive for adults, but probably not recommended for families.
Daniel T, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Although this property is centrally located, especially for meeting with relatives, it has seen better days as witnessed by the non-smoking room that recalled of an ash tray. If you crave an old motel in a scary neighborhood this place is for you.

8/10 Very good

Walking into my room was like walking into a typical movie set. The room as spacious, smelled nice and as clean and organized. It's location leads itself to a loud outside and the blackout curtains did help with the morning light.
Rose, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall an average stay. Comfy enough, ended up being put in a different room than we booked since they didn’t have any nonsmoking double beds rooms left. Breakfast was basically nonexistent which wasn’t a big deal. Just know there’s only cereal and oatmeal lol Bed was fine, tv worked and bathroom got the job done. The free parking was very nice! Kind of just a sketchy vibe since it’s a motel but safe enough! Got what we paid for and we’re happy about that :)
Emma, 1-night trip

Had super clean windows and guy at front desk seemed cool. Not as u
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Exactly what I needed for my stint in Chicago - a clean bed, good shower and a safe place to leave my car. The only issue was check out - at 11, but my room card stopped working at 930. But I was allowed back in easy enough. Thank you!!
