Older motel, 50s/60s era, super clean, super safe, great parking. TV is small and breakfast is a "cereal bar," but other than that: you are getting what you pay for, and the online pics and descriptions are accurate. Will stay again. It's a great neighborhood, and you cannot beat the price.

Area seemed safe enough. Went for a run down to the Wrigley area in the middle of the day and was never concerned. Didn't try that at night though. The "breakfast" here is minimal. There's a coffee machine and some cereal and they were out of milk. Calling this a provided breakfast is a little misleading.

Not a lot of options at all in this area if attending a concert at The Riviera. Booked this after reviewing mixed ratings. Old motor lodge, dated decor and bedding. Room was clean but this is bare bones for amenities. Desk staff nice. Continental breakfast was the bare minimum; the coffee fresh and adequate quality.

The breakfast was almost nonexistent. On the first morning, the only option was cereal in styrofoam bowls. No coffee. No tea. No bread. No juice. On the next two mornings, coffee was available.

The motel overall was ok . It could use a bathroom redo very old and room could use new carpet and updated. The TV wouldn't come on. But overall it was good. If I would come back to Chicago I believe I would rent there again

A little bit of upgrade & this place could shine!

It's really a motel and the desk clerk was very friendly. The room was very clean but needed updating. The comforters were polyester and kind of icky, although clean. I just think for the price we paid, which was comparable to other budget hotels in the Chicago area, that they could upgrade and it would make a big difference. We only needed to stay there for one night because we were dropping off our son to college, as we're other guests. It was very close to the college, which was convenient. It's also very close to Clark St., which has a lot of great restaurants and we found two within a mile that were excellent. The neighborhood immediately around the the motel was a little rough, and a little loud at night, but overall it suited our needs. They do have parking which is free and very convenient. They also have breakfast, which I believe is complimentary, but we had other plans for breakfast so we didn't get a chance to check it out.

Overall an average stay. Comfy enough, ended up being put in a different room than we booked since they didn’t have any nonsmoking double beds rooms left. Breakfast was basically nonexistent which wasn’t a big deal. Just know there’s only cereal and oatmeal lol Bed was fine, tv worked and bathroom got the job done. The free parking was very nice! Kind of just a sketchy vibe since it’s a motel but safe enough! Got what we paid for and we’re happy about that :)
