The location is in a cut where it's kind of secluded which is nice for peace and quiet and kind of being away from everything but very convenient to 41 where you can just jump on and off the highway. It does have a somewhat full size refrigerator, stove top and small sink. That is very convenient. However, the AC and heating units look ramshacked. The runes look like each one had a crime scene in it... We had a change from run room to another because the first one didn't have a mirror in it amongst other reasons, but the no mirror was a little creepy. Second room however was much better. It did have a mirror and everything worked even though the air conditioning unit screamed when you turned it on and utilized it. Not a horrible place to go but not the best. Definitely somewhere in the middle as long as you're not super picky.

NOT A Traditional Hotel

To be clear, this is NOT a traditional hotel. It is an extended stay studio apartment style property. The front desk closes at 7:00 pm and is closed on Sunday. The manager was very nice and accommodating. This is a good place to sleep and take advantage of its proximity ti the Metra train station that gets yo cheaply into Chicago. Nothing is a safe walking distance from the place. Nearest restaurants and convenience stores are a mile away. Bed was comfortable. TV had about 30 standard cable and local channels. Nice fridge and microwave. There's a cooktop if you bring your own pots, pans, and utensils to use. So, NOT a traditional hotel, but a good place to rest after a day of sightseeing and enjoying Lake Michigan.

We got there and our key card didn’t work so we had to have a staff member open our room with a master key, when we got in the room there was hair in the “freshly cleaned” beds. The bathroom didn’t have a lock so the door would swing open which invaded privacy, the sink had old food in the drain from someone prior, there was a broken window from someone who was “drunk” people also LIVE HERE… there was cat trees outside of the “hotel rooms” people moving in the same day we were going to stay, railings were all broken and fell off when my bf went to grab it, when we got there they wanted a 100$ deposit which they didn’t tell us about for a fee if it wasn’t clean, and when I told the staff member he offered another room but I told him I wanted to go somewhere else bc it wasn’t what they were advertising and he said he didn’t care and I told him I still didn’t feel safe staying here bc when we first got there we saw a literal crack head ITCHING HER FACE screaming at the staff member about how her key card didn’t work for her to do her weekly laundry and he laughed in my face and said his home was safe, my home is safe and so is this place and then said he also didn’t care anymore bc he got to leave at 4pm and go home! Staffing there was horribly rude and are scamming people for money.
