While this is an old-style motel, the manager provided excellent service during my stay. Because the temperature was dropping below zero at night, the manager provided a space heater to ensure I wasn't cold. When heavier than expected snow fell, the manager called to offer to bring coffee to the room, and even to pick up takeout for me from one of the local restaurants. When I was ready to check out the following morning, he had already shoveled out my car and even cleared the windows before offering to carry my bag out. His service may have been especially thoughtful because I am a senior citizen, but I truly appreciate it. Lastly, the location was convenient to both Midway Airport and to my Oak Lawn destination.

The room was very clean & well cared for. The staff was friendly & helpful. It's just a small motel & on a busy street, so can't possibly be quiet. This is a nice, clean, affordable place to stay. I definitely recommend it.
