I stayed at this motel for one night as part of a quick trip to Chicago with family to do some sight-seeing. I am not a particularly picky person and I don't mind a solid 2-star Motel to save some money, especially since we would only be there one night. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst experiences I have had a motel. First, it was very difficult to turn into the parking lot and we were almost hit by oncoming traffic. When you see the building, you can tell it is older and needs some love, but that wasn't a deal-breaker. The front desk clerk was very polite and helpful (which is why they got at least 2 stars from me). Our room, however, had some pretty serious issues. The toilet seat was not properly attached, the bathtub drain was clogged. The towels were old and had that funk that towels get when they have reached the end of their use and need to be replaced. The sheets were stained. The floor was covered in black smudges and spots. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. The fan in the bathroom was so loud it was almost painful. The drapes were worn with holes. It was pretty clear this room had been neglected. I am not sure if this is the case through the rest of the motel. As I stated before, I have stayed at budget 2-star motels in older buildings before, but always found them to be cleaned, fresh, well-maintained and ready for guests. This is one of the very few affordable hotel options in the summer. It is a shame that this is what families have to settle for when they stay here. I hope someone looks into this and the owners take the time to make some needed updates like new towels, sheets, drapes, and fix the maintenance issues. It would be such a cute little motel with just a bit of love and elbow grease.
