Being renovated, but clean and quiet. Close to the University of Chicago. Close to Lake Michigan. Quiet, not crowded and a decent price.

I would stay again

I recently took 2 rooms for myself and family for 2 nights. Although the rooms were in need of some minor cosmetic repairs for peeling wall paper and water stains, they both were clean rooms, free of orders with comfortable beds. Any interaction I had with the staff on the phone or in person was pleasant and professional. My request for the rooms to be adjacent was accomodated. We all enjoyed a delicious breakfast at their cafe with reasonable prices. I would be pleased to stay here again.

Quiet motel near beach

Pros: It's clean and quiet, with free parking, at a reasonable price.
Location: Lake Michigan is a 5 minute walk away and the Museum of Science and Industry about a 20 minute walk.
It was very nice walking along the bike path near the beach to the Museum of Science and Industry.

So-so

Sheets weren't clean, musty odor in room, demolition right outside room, pool was still closed for season in late June! It was close to the event we attended so that was a plus. And staff was very helpful.

Terrible

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Everything.
Their website does NOT accurately reflect their facilities or amenities - there are NO amenities. There is no view of the lake from rooms and it's difficult to even see past the 4 lane highway. The rooms are old and disgusting, the beds are rock hard with gross comforters, the TVs do not have cable - only analog, there were NO ice machines or vending, and the workout facility (that they claim has a lake-view) is literally non-existent. They are currently "under renovation" but that was not displayed on their website or communicated via telephone when I made the reservation. The staff was rube and abrupt in person and on the phone and clearly do not enjoy their jobs. Immensely disappointed in this "hotel" (definitely a run down MOTEL) and will NEVER stay there again or recommend to anyone I know. Be careful if you make a reservation based on their website - it's all lies.
