6/10 Good

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.

Convenient and inexpensive

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

On a weekend when all of the downtown hotels were 2 to 3 times more expensive, this was a great alternative.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay when seeing shows at the Aragon Ballroom or the Riviera Theater.

10/10 Exceptional

Exactly what I needed for my stint in Chicago - a clean bed, good shower and a safe place to leave my car. The only issue was check out - at 11, but my room card stopped working at 930. But I was allowed back in easy enough. Thank you!!

Great experience

Always great when I take a trip to Chicago and staying at this hotel. They are constantly improving the property, rooms, service etc. and that is reason enough to keep coming back.

The irresponsible hotel

When we arrived at 6 p.m., the room was full. The reservation I made five months ago was canceled without any notice. We had to look for an inn for the night in a hurry. Everyone, please pay attention to this irresponsible hotel.

The staff are all so amazing! The place is dated, but clean. The service is organized, friendly and efficient. Great location. Starbucks right beside it, too. I'll stay again.

Great weekday price. Staff was great. Surrounding area was a little ghetto....like so many others....white castle after 10pm is not a wise decision
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very friendly, got an upgraded room free of charge due to running a bit late for check in. Room was very nice and clean. Would definitely recommend

6/10 Good

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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Honestly I was a little shocked at how great this room was! No frills, but incredibly clean, quiet, and we felt very safe! Will rebook next time we’re there.

8/10 Very good

It’s a handy economical location to see a Chicago Cubs game. The clerk in the office was very helpful. But they have quit serving the Continental breakfast they advertise

An old style road motel, so not new and ultra-modern. not fancy, but clean and pleasant staff and free parking. Close to Clark Street bus and Peterson bus for easy city traveling.

Property is dated but very clean. Property is located a 15-20 min walk away from public transit.
