Just pay attention that this is an actual 2 star or less hotel. It is nothing like its photos. It is very outdated and second-rate. I would never stay here again.

From the time we pulled up we didn't like it. People were hanging out nearby. Cats were all around and the room didn't smell pleasing. We left and didn't even stay the night. Wasted my money.

Would not recommend this hotel, certainly not for a family. Very questionable behavior by some of clientele, and no attempt to hide it, at all hours.

Clean room, air conditioning, hot water, comfortable bed. Basic but close enough to downtown chicago to make the drive easy. For Chicago area, you can’t be the price!

This property is falling apart. Paint peeling, floors cracked, toilet and tub/shower cracked, moldy. There was dirt and mold everywhere. The faucet wouldn’t turn off and ran all night. It smelled awful to the point of all of our belongings smelling when we got home. 0/10

This has to be the most disgusting place I've ever stayed. I asked for a non smoking room. That didnt happen. And there were no available rooms to switch to. There was cigarettes ash covering everything, bed sheets, toilet paper, everything. The floors were sticky. If you walked barefoot on the carpet, your feet will turn black from the filth. The whole place smelled like piss and cigarettes.
There were earing left on the bed from the previous guest which means they didn't change the blood stained sheets or pillow cases. This is literally the worst place on earth. Graffiti on the walls, holes in the drywall and carpet. Just stay away.

This not a save place people screaming at other people at midnight, three in the morning and four in the morning. No security no lights on property after midnight. I do not understand why Expedia puts it out on their sit. Rooms are not clean right. Cigarettes burn holes on curtains, bedding and floor. Floor not swept. Air conditioning did work. The parking lot is small and other business use the driveway to park making it hard to leave. Rates are hourly, weekly and monthly. Price was not worth it.

My wife and I didn’t even stay more than 5 minutes. It was not clean and there were cats going in and out of open doors to rooms. Instead of staying , we decided to drive back 4 hours back home if that tells you anything.

The shelves on the wall, were falling off improperly secured. The faucet in the bathroom was leaking. And the door was not able to be secured properly it would not close firmly into frame. Lock felt janky. Door itself looked badly tampered with. Bed was not comfortable at all. Would not recommend or stay again.

The sheets had burn holes most likely due to smoking, floor had a puddle of water for some reason, arrived and they couldn’t find our booking and kept insisting we did something wrong. The worker at the desk was rude. The area seemed unsafe and overall kinda ghetto.

Rooms had only one bed, a large TV, and multiple mirrors. Not a place to actually sleep in. Car doors were banging all night. People were yelling and loud music was playing on and off all night. We had scheduled a 2 night stay but left after one night. I got zero sleep and we felt unsafe being there.

Not Good

Seeing the pictures on hotel.com I thought it looked nice, especially for the price. When I got to the motel, there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling, the lighting was awful, and the floor felt a little gritty. The door to the room was not sturdy at all and felt like it would break when I checked to make sure it was locked. And because of the hole in the ceiling I could hear everything above me as if I was in the same room. The staff was pleasant enough and the hand painted mural on the wall was nice. Overall, do not recommend.

I cannot recommend to stay at this motel! The rooms of the motel are nothing like the rooms that they advertise on Expedia and on their website, they are a lot smaller, have less furniture are dirty as hell and smell like cigarettes. I wore white soxs in the room and they were dark brown after a couple of steps. Not to mention the last day, when I took a shower and a worm crawled out of grout in the shower cabin. I do not expect much from my accommodation, when I pay a few bucks, but cleanliness is a minimum standard everyone can fit!

There wasn’t anything I liked. The pictures online were fabulous. In person it was worse than you could ever imagine. Ended up turning the key in and leaving. They refuse to refund which isn’t surprising at all considering the looks of the establishment. This place was an absolute hell hole.

Stay Away

This is the worst hotel I ever stayed in.

Place is gross and scary!

I felt unsafe as patron, lobby looks like a midnight liquor store with outside door having no handles and two inch bullet proof windows.

Walked past the sex toy vending machine to my bed for the night. When I go in and saw and smelt the room, I did not want to lay down on the bed or use the shower.

Was woken up by a drug induced screaming match that went from outside to inside from 2 AM to 7 AM.

Left with no rest, would have gotten better and safer sleep staying on the floor of the airport.

I rented another hotel for the second night will be fighting Cindy Lyn and Hotels.com for a refund.

Never staying here again

The hotel room was disgusting. I didn’t include pictures of the mystery stains all over the floor around the bed. The floor was sticky and clearly not cleaned. I don’t even understand how carpet can be sticky but my socks remained on the whole time I was in the room. There were holes in all of the bedding. Room smelled so bad that we had to get some febreeze just to be okay being in the room. The pictures of the rooms they have posted are either super old or just the ones they keep nice for pictures or something. I would not recommend staying here to anyone.

The staff here are horrible and so are the rooms. I would highly suggest you stay away from this and spend a bit more money for a better place. Their policy here is also very horrible and disappointing which is why I highly suggest staying away from this place. Wanted close to $300 for 2 nights of staying in a dump

Doors to rooms must be forced closed (quite aggressively). This upsets other guests, who assume you are being loud on purpose. This caused major issues when other guests were getting loud & upset with us, thinking we were slamming things around when all we were doing was trying to close the door. Other guests became quite aggressive in this encounter, putting our safety at risk.

First rooms bathroom was questionable, room was bare basic; room set up for one night stands and quickies. Upon complaint was upgraded to a room with space to set bags and a purse down, as well as a less ick bathroom. Lost mirror on the ceiling upon room change, but still had an angled mirror on the wall, the constant porn channel was a nice touch. Not family friendly, but maybe a good place to start one.
There is security outside at night, neighborhood seemed safe enough.
