If all you are looking for is a place to sleep or rest and you don’t care about bells and whistles…then this vintage motel is perfect. The room was exceptionally clean but dated…we brought our own pillows thankfully because the motels are very thin and small. Besides that no complaints…already rebooked for June for a music festival in Chicago.

This is an older YET VERY WELL KEPT motel . Think Holiday Inn and Howard Johnson 70s era. If you are the type of person that likes to hang around the motel room all day then this is not the place for you. It does have direct entrance from outside but parking lot is vetry secure and I never felt unsafe or felt unsafe leaving my car parked here when I took the train downtown. There is a 24hour bus(Clark St bus route 22) a block away and the rapid Transit Red line is a 7 or 8 minute bus ride away via the number 84 Peterson bus. I like to walk so I actually walked form the motel to the Red Line which took about 15 minutes. My only complaint is the wallas are a bit thin considering when this was built but luckily my neighbors weren't TOO noisy.

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