★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Joshua Nix · Sep 2025

Disgusting. By far the worst place I have ever stayed. The walls were damaged and filthy. Zero chance I would set foot in the shower. Just needed a hotel for the night because of a cancelled flight. I would have been better off sleeping in a chair at the airport. Definitely prostitution going on, noisy all night, and sounded like a tap dance studio above my room. Door wouldn't lock and didn't even close properly. Not worth it. Ever. For any reason.

I stayed at this motel a few weeks ago and despite everyone's negative reviews, I think this a good value for the price. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was surprisingly clean and the bed was comfortable. Even though the area of the motel may not be the best (that's why they have police ordered signs to keep away streetwalkers), my stay was pleasant. I just stayed in my room, and ordered take out, and still felt safe enough. I think the people that gave this motel a negative review are over exaggerating quite a bit. I definitely would not mind staying at this motel again if I had to. For $90 a night in Chicago, this is as good as you're going to get. The other reviewers are looking for a 4 star hotel in the bad part of the city and for a cheap rate, be realistic, it's n

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Elvis Diaz · Aug 2025

I’ve seen gas station bathrooms cleaner than the rooms here. The reception manager is lazy and rude. I called ahead to ask about an early check-in rate, and he brushed me off, telling me to wait until the next shift manager arrived. The rooms are filthy—I’ll need to wash my clothes at least three times after staying here. I only stayed because every other place was sold out. During my stay, I observed what appeared to be prostitution activity happening openly on-site, and management seemed aware but did nothing. Don’t just avoid this place—report it.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Дальнобой-Life David KAMAZ · Jul 2025

I never discussed that bad from a motel. Please don't even think to come here. This place is very stinky, gross, and dirty. Towels are dirty, you can see dirt stains on them, and they stink. It is so disgusting... also, this place got absolutely no insulation. You hear other rooms, how people are talking and flushing toilets. Also, you feel like you are sleeping on the parking lot, you hear every car, truck, or even scooters. Also, it's a bad neighborhood, and sirens are running almost every hour. We didn't get any sleep at all. This was the most wasted money i spent. This place needs to be closed torn down.

★★★★★ 5.0 Bill Ender · Apr 2025

The hotel is a bit dated, but well maintained and clean. I had a good comfortable bed and it was a quiet stay. I can't ask for a lot more than that, well I wish the pool would have been open when I was there 😊
