This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to stay in the Chicago area. The rooms are clean and the staff is always welcoming. It's a nice place to stay on the north side of the river.

A traditional motel in the center of the city - the rooms are comfortable without being fancy (allthe little extras were available - hairdryer, toiletrys, wifi, etc), housekeeping daily.

Very clean, very good area & the room
Is pretty big. Only thing you need to keep in mind is that is a busy area so there’s plenty of noice at night.

I stayed with family. Room and wash room size is small and parking space is tight as well. Location is great but it gets noisy during weekend night.
Overall I had pleasant stay and don't have any complains.

It was clean and safe but there wasn't an ice machine even though we had a bucket. They had a pamphlet of things to do that expired in June when we went in July. The overall experience was fun and the room was great.
