Stayed here for Lollapalooza and honestly if you’re on a tight budget and won’t be inside the motel 24/7 just needing a place to rest/bathe then I’ll say this motel is just what you need!
I like how transportation was really close to the orange line and there were some stores that open 24/7 like Walgreens.
They gave me new towels and face towels every day which I appreciate!
My only suggestion/con is that they should do some major renovation as it was really worn down from the walls and floor inside!

The room was very clean & well cared for. The staff was friendly & helpful. It's just a small motel & on a busy street, so can't possibly be quiet. This is a nice, clean, affordable place to stay. I definitely recommend it.

Loved parking right outside my room! And the window opened for fresh air. There were 2 chairs and a little table outside the room which was really nice. Very safe. Coffee and packaged pastries at the front desk in the morning. Id definitely stay here again if i came back

The property does not look well on the outside. The stairs are in need of repair. However, the room is great. I would stay there again.
