Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room looked like dungeon. Room was dirty, dark, and falling apart. Safety issues with the electrical sockets coming out of the wall. Socket by tv overloaded and power strip just “ hanging “ down the wall. The bathtub was slick and presented a safety falling hazard. I’m only glad that I was busy all day and only had to sleep there. Not worth the price I paid for it. Will not come back.

The room was ok the man owner had gentle sweet spirit, the woman was ok but very rude when I ask her about why don’t they have the dnd door hangers. They would go in our room after we left. I was leaving little traps to be able to tell if they can in. They failed every time. I confronted the lady she said we change towels and take out trash . I told her she didn’t because trash was still in my room. I bought my own whit rags and they took them thinking they were there’s.if they had not come in my room without my permission this would have neva happened. I was there for a church event and my God sister shared a room with me. When she came in the room the one time she looked at the beds and saw my sister bed was messed up and not mine and just looked at us. No ma’am we just shared a room for church. I fixed my bed back up myself because I like a neat part of the room . I only gave a 4 star because of the men. Will not be going back to the establishment and I told her. I was not nasty just told her to lower her voice and I will not be back. Have a nice day. Went back to my room and began packing up. O there breakfast was only boiled egg stale cereal and a blueberry cream cheese danish. No real food as indicated on web site. False info.

Avoid at all costs if you're sensitive to stink

One of the worst nights I’ve ever spent in a motel. The rooms are dark and depressing and the stink is off the charts. On a scale of 1-10 I’d put it at a 10 for chemical odor. When I asked about this at the front desk they said all the rooms are the same and it’s due to chemical products used by the cleaning staff. Whatever they’re using has a particularly noxious odor that feels like it’s stabbing at your lungs, making it difficult to breathe. I woke up multiple times during the night just to open the front door and take some deep breaths of fresh air. It’s terrible in this day and age that hotel owners don’t realize how many people are chemically sensitive, may have breathing/respiratory issues, or just want to breathe fresh clean air instead of chemical stink. If you’re odor-sensitive in any way you’ll have a very rough time at this motel. I strongly advise finding another place.

I’m not sure why there’s a lot of good reviews here, maybe we just got a bad room. I wasn’t expecting much from a cheap one star hotel but we were sickened as soon as we entered our room. Very tacky craftsmanship of the room, the WiFi didn’t work, the toilet rocked about an inch, space heater and walls looked like they’ve been textured and painted 100 times, there was no smoke detector, the bed was paper thin, no second security lock on the door so anyone with a key could walk in on you at any time. Our bath towels were about the size of hand towels. I really appreciated the man working the counter, he was very polite and helpful and did refund us for the rest of our trip. We only stayed one night of our 4 day stay. I would definitely look elsewhere but try at your own risk.

Staff was very cordial and professional. Beds were very firm and hard on the back, but was still able to sleep. Light fixtures in the bathroom were loose so the lights went off and on periodically. Good water pressure. This is on the South Side of Chicago, so be wary of your surroundings.

Liked: Cleanliness
Free parking, Safe, Quiet (never heard a neighbor). Bed was comfortable but very squeaky. Staff in the morning saw me come in to return my key and they seemed to hide from me. She'd peak at me then leave again. This might have been before receptionist started (it was 6:45 am) but whoever the worker was could have said good morning or instructed me where to leave my key. I did not see the 'drop box' until after.
