"About 18 miles from downtown Chicago. Nice amenities without the traffic and high prices of downtown and airport hotels. There were lots of restaurants with outdoor seating in the area. My room on the 12th floor had a nice view of the Chicago skyline, though the sound of the El was somewhat annoying until I got used to it. I ate dinner at the on-site restaurant, which was quite good.2018-07-30"

"My hotel room was too hot, and there was no fan. The heater was so loud at night that I couldn't sleep. Find another place to stay.2019-03-31"
"An older hotel, but it was comfortable and charming even though it didn't have fancy amenities. The room was on the small side, but it was fine for sleeping and the bed was comfortable. The window AC worked well but was quite loud. The front desk clerk was professional, friendly, and accommodating. Fantastic complimentary breakfast. Parking was limited; I parked at a lot several blocks away and walked.2018-08-21"

"For the price I paid, this motel met my expectations. It's on a busy street, so I heard a lot of traffic noise, but the room and bedsheets were clean, and that's essential to me. No fridge, but the coffee maker was appreciated. There was a dresser instead of a closet. New, large TV. The wireless Internet speed was slow at times. The bathroom was clean and remodeled, and the towels were clean and adequate. I recommend this hotel for a short stay.2016-10-17"
"Nothing extravagant, but this motel was worth the price. No hassles. The room was pretty clean. Good parking. I recommend if you just need a night's sleep.2015-10-19"
"OK motel, but not as nice as the online photos made it look. The check-in clerk was rude, and responded to my questions as if I were dumb. I'll never stay here again.2015-08-04"
"Great location and rates, but the area was noisy with traffic and airplanes. We asked for an adjoining room, and got a room that adjoined the office. The bedsheets were stained. No closet or space to hang up clothing. No suitcase stands. No shelf in the shower for soap and shampoo, and we only got 2 towels. The motel had ample parking.2015-05-10"
"My hotel room smelled like smoke, and the hallways were quite dirty; there were beer bottles and glasses outside my room when I checked in, and they were still there when I checked out.2017-11-21"
"Good experience. The hotel room was clean, but the AC fan was loud. I told the front desk clerk, but it wasn't fixed. I asked for another room, but was told no other rooms were available. I barely slept for 2 nights.2016-10-06"
"This is a budget motel. Not at all fancy, but it was adequate. Located on a busy street. The room was clean, though the beds weren't great. The bathroom door handle was falling off. Breakfast was pretty nice and included hot selections, but the sausage wasn't ready until 20 minutes after opening one morning. The staff seemed pleasant enough. Bring your ear plugs if you're bothered by road noise at night.2017-10-03"

"The key cards never worked; after making several trips downstairs, the hotel clerk had to let us in our room. I thought the room was overpriced.2019-08-29"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
