While the staff was actually helpful, the company should be ashamed of themselves for the deceiving photos that are on the site. Nothing looked anything like the photos we viewed. My partner and I thought we would be pulling up to a small hotel based on not only the photos but the price. We could have stayed at a Holiday Inn for the price. But what we got was a cheap motel experience. A Motel 6 would have been more updated and tidy. It made do for the 2 nights we stayed there before our Air bnb. But this place is not as appears in photos AT ALL.

Lacking the Basics

Room was booked as non-smoking and although signage indicated it was, the room smelled of smoke and there cigarette burns in the bathroom. Blankets on the beds had cigarette holes burned through them. No handles, bars, soap or shelves to put anything on in the shower. TV was next to useless ... It was a streaming TV but clearly the owners don't provide internet capable of supporting streaming TVs. The room was clean though.

The property was loud and did not feel welcoming. Another family tried to enter my room at 1:30am in the morning because they were given the same room. Then the manager knocked at the door asking how I entered the room and when I presented the key I received at the desk he apologized and explained that my stay had not been entered into their books. In the morning I had to wake the manager to drive us in the shuttle to the airport.

Cheapest motel I could find for our weekend in Chicago. Pros: decent location, free parking. Cons: in need of some serious room work. Bathroom door looked like someone had locked a dog inside that had absolutely scratched and chewed it up. Blind was missing a chunk out of it and I had to hang a piece of clothing over it so no one could look in. Thin blankets with cigarette burns. Tiny flat pillows. Shower leaked to the bathroom floor. Truly should not have cost that much to stay there. Overall, not the worst but just a place to lay your head.
