the attendant was very nice and accommodating. located right off the freeway with easy access to many places
The beds were clean and comfortable and that was only thing I liked about this place. The bathroom was gross and the tv reception is lost constantly and they have no cable so you will be bored with no tv. The only reason somebody should stay here is if you want to save by cooking your own food they do have a stove

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The ability to cook was good
Full size Fridge was cold
bed was comfortable
No coffee or sugar
No breakfast
Would be awesome if it had a jacuzzi or pool.
Sink drained slow
Needed a new curtain
Shower curtain wasn’t in right
I don’t recommend this. The bedsheets are not that clean u can see how the curtains was still dirty, the photos in website were DIFFERENT in person. I feel not safe also walking at night in the hallway. If you asked sonething liked towels they never give us those things. I DONT RECOMMEND.
The male hotel staff was very professional and attentive to the nerds of the guests.

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.
Occupants hanging out at night and day in and around the building trashing, smoking and watching transient out of town traveling guest. Price is Excellent! Location is Excellent! Inside of Rooms Excellent and to standard. Surprisingly Quiet too.
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.
My room was the second floor, Corner room. Very accessible to and from my room. Friendly staff, and Hospitality. Great Parking, Easy Chrck in and Check out. Still waiting for my $50. Deposit. Room was not damaged or smoked in. Mainly sleeping. Will stay again for my large friend when they come to visit.
Room was dirty. No hot water. Was not willing to move me to another room. Kept my license all night and set it outside of the room, never said nothing. Worst experience
I got charged full price for checking in a little earlier and got a 1 bed. If I were to get the 2 bed I paid for it would have been a lot more. They didn’t squeeze me in or have to clean a room for me, as the parking lot was pretty empty. They were just hard up for money. I wish I had known that there were better hotels around the corner.
They gave us a room with a broken entrance door it had pubic hair in shower and sink there were cockroaches all over along with stink bugs and other insects. The bed frame was nasty filthy and the floors weren't swept sinks were filthy. There was no office personnel in office and could not notify by phone anyone until after 4 am in morning. Spoke with Expedia at 4am and they contacted the office and was expediting a refund back to our card
