This is an EXCELLENT no frills affordable place to stay. Very well maintained and well run place. Just to set expectations, it is dated and off the beaten path, but I HIGHLY recommend this hotel.

It's a motel so it's a bit dated (non-issue for me, like staying in places that have some character to them), but the room was absolutely spotless. And it's in a great location. Green line stop right down the street, and thorndale Red line stop is not a far walk. I would absolutely stay here again

Decent motel. Parking was free, can't really get that in many places in Chicago. It's a motel, so understand that many people use it to do their deed, be aware of that. But never felt like a dangerous stay. Again, don't complain about it, it's a cheap motel in Chicago. Great for P&D sessions.

Location is perfect! You're within a 0.3 mile walk to the green line, 0.8 mile walk to the red line, Whole Foods, and great restaurants! Love the included parking and wifi, a huge value. We were warmly greeted during check-in and the staff was very kind. The place is very clean, everywhere! As many have said the motel is dated, but you really can't beat the value - good temperature control, hot water, clean linens, and great TV selection. My only complaint is the beds - they are horrible! A step above a cot on some old springs... an air mattress probably would've been better.

The property is definitely aging. The rooms could use a refresh and upgrade to the amenities. The hotel stated it had breakfast in the morning and all that was available was cereal and a pot of coffee.

Great bang for you buck! For they money, you really can't go wrong. As long as you want for breakfast is cereal, I would recommend it. They could offer more for the continental breakfast but again, when you compare to other area hotels, you can't really argue with these guys that they shouldn't feel obliged to offer a full breakfast at the excellent rates they charge.
