My normal stop Heart of Chicago Motel was booked so a friend of mine said people he knew said this place was ok. and it was O k. Not A ok but just Ok.
Our room was not dirty and nasty as another reviewer said.. but they are in a very Old slightly disrepaired state..... but clean enough.
My largest concern is the neighborhood. Although in transition upward.... In the block area next to the property there are a noticable amount of what appear to be mentally challenged people. talking to themselves,batting at the air, pacing etc... In chatting with a neighborhood resident while asking for directions he informed me that there are currently residences in the area that house released mental patients and that as long as they're on their meds they're fine...

I would say that for a group of guys wanting cheap stay and convienent area this place is fine... its a 12 min walk to andersonville, a 5min walk to Berwin El Stop and a 10 min walk to Foster Beach so there are lots of plusses too.... Just not a place you'd want to stay with kids in tow...

Unbelievably dirty, smelly rooms, with torn, worn out furniture. Rude staff. It is NOT worth the price, even in Chicago.

writing on the walls, refrigerator didn't work, door barely closed, staff not helpful at all, overall, a miserable experience. Would not recommend or come back.

Stayed there for the 2nd time - It's not the Ritz, but it's a great value for Chicago. The rooms were clean, service was friendly. The location is convenient to the EL
