I found this hotel to be a decent option for my stay while visiting Chicago, especially since it was budget-friendly compared to downtown prices. The rooms were clean and spacious, though a bit outdated. There were some downsides, like limited breakfast options and weaker Wi-Fi, but overall it served my needs while being close to the city attractions.

This motel is a solid choice if you're visiting Chicago for a short stay, especially for a sports event. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, and the price is very reasonable. While it's not fancy and the amenities are basic, it's absolutely a good value for the money, particularly with free parking and easy access to public transport. However, the thin towels and occasional noise from traffic were not ideal.

I’ve stayed at this motel multiple times and it's always been a comfortable and clean experience. The location is fantastic, close to major roads which makes it convenient, but some rooms may be quieter than others. The free Wi-Fi is a nice perk, though it can be a bit shaky in certain areas. Parking was easy and hassle-free, which I really appreciated, especially in a developing neighborhood that’s rich in history.
