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.

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

This is not a hotel option to pass on. The hotel is close to transit so getting to downtown and to a Cubs game is easy to do. There are alsom many dining and options and small uniqure shops along Clark and Broadway.

Solid motel of yesteryear, I'd strongly recommend you bring along ear plugs or just turn on the fan for background (white) noise. Houskeeping A+ every day.

Convenient and inexpensive

Great location for Edgewater and Andersonville. Convenient to several popular gay bars. Inexpensive for adults, but probably not recommended for families.

Although this property is centrally located, especially for meeting with relatives, it has seen better days as witnessed by the non-smoking room that recalled of an ash tray. If you crave an old motel in a scary neighborhood this place is for you.

Walking into my room was like walking into a typical movie set. The room as spacious, smelled nice and as clean and organized. It's location leads itself to a loud outside and the blackout curtains did help with the morning light.

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 :)
