10/10 Exceptional

Always a pleasure staying here
Anthony, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a high-end hotel, but rather a basic room in a central location and it was comfortable. All you should expect.
Matthew, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Rooms were clean but outdated. Coffee and stale cereal were the only things available for breakfast.. no milk, juice, or tea.. nothing else. There was an altercation below in the parking lot that the police had to show up for. Ok for a bed to sleep in but i would not stay there with family or kids.

8/10 Very good

Nice workers and some breakfast but my TV didn’t work well and a lot of police noice every night
Kelly, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Area seemed safe enough. Went for a run down to the Wrigley area in the middle of the day and was never concerned. Didn't try that at night though. The "breakfast" here is minimal. There's a coffee machine and some cereal and they were out of milk. Calling this a provided breakfast is a little misleading.
JJ, 2-night trip

Loud outside at night

10/10 Exceptional

If you want to stay in a motel right out of the 1950’s, this is the place for you!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The breakfast was almost nonexistent. On the first morning, the only option was cereal in styrofoam bowls. No coffee. No tea. No bread. No juice. On the next two mornings, coffee was available.
David Alan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is not a hotel option to pass on. The hotel is close to transit so getting to downtown and to a Cubs game is easy to do. There are alsom many dining and options and small uniqure shops along Clark and Broadway.
Charles, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The motel overall was ok . It could use a bathroom redo very old and room could use new carpet and updated. The TV wouldn't come on. But overall it was good. If I would come back to Chicago I believe I would rent there again

Clean place

Front desk guy was friendly. Room was clean. Easy to go dowtown by train.

8/10 Very good

Solid motel of yesteryear, I'd strongly recommend you bring along ear plugs or just turn on the fan for background (white) noise. Houskeeping A+ every day.

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient and inexpensive

Great location for Edgewater and Andersonville. Convenient to several popular gay bars. Inexpensive for adults, but probably not recommended for families.
Daniel T, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Although this property is centrally located, especially for meeting with relatives, it has seen better days as witnessed by the non-smoking room that recalled of an ash tray. If you crave an old motel in a scary neighborhood this place is for you.
