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.

The staff was awesome in accommodating our needs and answering any questions we have. As for the room we were staying in it’s clean, but there’s stain on the mattresses, sheets and blankets has a smell to it. The bathroom is clean but the toilet is sinking down on one side. The floor in the bathroom near the shower feels like it’s going to crumble down to the lower level of our room. Aside from these issues, everything else is alright.

Room is very, very basic, small dining table, full size fridge, and micro wave, unstocked kitchen, no dishes or cookware. No paper products aside from toilet paper, and only a bar of soap in the bathroom. Double mattress as stated, on a raised metal frame. Limited office staff time. Difficult access from the south.

I normally stay in very nice, resort style places, and i only booked this spot because of the short notice of the trip. I would never recommend, never return and hope i never have to ride past this place again.

When i got there, i was toldni did not have reservation. I gave them a call ahead of time to inform them my flight was going to arrived at a later time. A was informed to call the number they have posted at their door, when we arrive, its shouldn't be an issue. But there was. Luckily the guy who attended us allowed us to stay inside the office until uber took us to our following destination.
problem. Thats di
Room was extremely dirty, dusty, qas hard to grt staff to redo key. Rates are way too expensive and rooms look nothing like what's pictured online! Wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here.
