The room was fairly clean. However, it had a strong musty smell. The towel rack fell off the wall. The beds were small. The biggest issue was that there was some remodeling occurring. I was awaken around 7am by hammering and staple guns. Then men started yelling. Management should have construction start later, warn paying customers, and offer discounts.

I came into the place with two beds and one had pee in it and the staff not only did not give us a refund but was ready to leave us with no place to stay, and so we had to settle with the one bed then accused us of doing it and not taking accountability for the situation.

My room was a \"smoking room\", which was never specified when i booked it. It had an ash tray with ashes in the room when i got there. I had a hard time breathing my entire stay and all of my belongings and clothes smelled like smoke the entire trip. It was embarrassing. To my knowledge, i dont believe its even legal to offer indoor smoking rooms in 2025... and at the very least these needs to be specified when booking. i would have happily paid more to avoid this.

Won’t stay again

The room was okay. The beds were very firm and stiff. The first room I was in the ac went out at 3:45am and I tried calling the office several times. No answer so I had to get dressed and walk to the office and tell them. They gave me a new room with a smaller bed but at least the AC worked.

This motel was absolutely adorable! I felt like I was pulling up to a fancy 70's motel. The room was bigger than most hotel rooms. The check in was easy and staff was wonderful. The only complaints would be fairly minor. They forgot to clean the fridge and the shampoo was partially used and they forgot to throw it away. The biggest complaint would be that we weren't in the room very long and our feet were black from the carpet and need professional cleaning on them. I would absolutely stay there again though and it was still a huge win from having to pay $300-$600 for a room downtown. It was an easy 20 minute drive into downtown Chicago.
