Basic needs met. Safe, kind and respectful, fridge, microwave, ac/heat, bed, shower. No Elevator - problematic, if your bags or life are heavy. If you smoke they allow it in your bed, not all too many remaining, smoke your heart out. Fantastic restaurant/bar front door 20 feet from the hotel front door.

Decent budget motel

Convenient budget motel location away from Chicago. Very basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. Free coffee in the check in area was available (no coffee maker in the room). An overhead light was nice but no table lamps by the bed was a bummer. Some nearby eating options such as IHOP. Overall, good enough for a one night stay while passing through

Stayed for 2 nights and it was pretty solid. It’s not great but it’s not bad. The bed and bathroom were clean, WiFi was good, and there was plenty of parking. Even tho it was right next to the highway it was still quiet. The room did smell strongly like cigarettes which wasn’t ideal. Some sketchy residents as well. Good place for a night or two.

Rating is per the price point.

Pros:
- fast and painless check in.
- bed was fair, room spacious.
Cons:
- the bathroom was in disrepair. Peeled paint, tile, fixtures missing (like toilet paper holder). It also smelled quite awful, likely unclean drains.
- right under a major highway, so very loud. Soundproofing between rooms above/below is also not great.
- Surrounding area does not inspire confidence, felt unsafe at multiple points.

If what you need is a place to put your head down for a night on a budget, it's serviceable. Just don't go exploring the local area too much.

Great place for sleep and shower, no frills

The room smelled fresh and linens were clean. It is obviously an older (probably at least 30 years) motel and had some cosmetic changes due to its age and outdoor room entrances. Staff very nice and I thought it was a good deal for $75. It is however, next to the freeway and with the normal aging process and being an outdoor entrance, the rooms are obviously not sound proof. The AC was quiet and efficient. Again, very nice place for bed and shower, no frills.

We could not use the shower or tub faucet because both were broken. The bed was like sleeping on a pile of wood. I had surgery on my spine so the pain I was in the next day was unbearable. It is located in a quite area, but I will not stay there ever again.

Much better than my first impression

I was a little worried when I first pulled in because it looked a bit desolate, tucked up under the shadow of a freeway, but the person at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. I ate at the restaurant next to the hotel, which fixed a very fast and tasty fish sandwich and had friendly wait staff. My room was clean - I appreciated the linoleum/hard floor rather than carpet (which tends to hide dirt, grime, more). The TV had analog reception, which meant - or at least seemed to - that the picture quality wasn't great, but I was able to watch \"Cloverfield\" on HBO without problem. The internet worked just fine. I slept soundly. The only problem in the morning was trying to break open the shampoo packet, which was in a plastic packet like you'd find ketchup in at a fastfood restaurant. But this did not open easily like those do, but rather required me to dry off my fingers and use a key to bust it open. Okay, I may not have the strongest fingers in the world, but this seemed way beyond child proof in terms of difficulty in opening. In the bigger picture, this was a very small thing and I appreciate the fact that they're cutting down on plastic waste by using such packets, even if they have a bit of a design flaw. Overall, solid, restful stay.
