Over all not awful, room was clean and well kept. Turned the ac on before we went out so the room would be cool when we got back, instead we walked into what felt like a sauna. Front desk said when it gets cold out it just pushes hot air and gave us a box fan. Which we had to go back and switch out because it didnt work. The staff were kind, and the lot was nice and private. Check in was easy, and it was nice and quiet. Bathroom was cute with vintage pink tiles.

This is the fourth time I've stayed here, but the noise is out of control. I don't remember it being this bad previously. The vehicles are racing North Ridge all night. Guests returning late at night are loud in the lot instead of going into their rooms. The last straw was the garbage truck picking up the dumpsters before 5:00 AM. It took them a good 20 minutes for two dumpsters.

Mr Zone was the most helpful front desk clerk I have had the pleasure of working with. From Paris to London to Tokyo, nobody had set a standard like Mr Zone. He left no question unanswered and turned a long and frustrating day into a calming experience that set the tone for my evening stay in Chicago. This unassuming, historic, and quaint motel should be on anyone’s bucket list in Andersonville.
