We got what we paid for; a cheap place to lay our head for less than 8 hours before our 6am flight.
Pros:

Great price and location to Midway

Cons:

The curtains allowed streetlight and sunlight into the room, we heard noises from the neighbors all night long and the beds were not very comfortable; all making it very difficult to get restful sleep.

Horrible Motel
Pros:

The facility is dirty, shady characters hanging around the property, felt that if my family and I stayed there, my vehicle would be broken into or stolen, and we would not be alive the next morning.

Cons:

Dirty, people looked shady and your company needs to inspect the property, I would not recommend this property to anyone

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

This was one of the worst stays I have ever experienced. The room was filthy and the air conditioner did not work, making it impossible to be comfortable. The front desk staff were dismissive and unhelpful when I raised these issues. The property overall felt unsafe, and I observed activity that looked like prostitution happening openly on-site, which management did not address.

I only booked here because other hotels were sold out, but it was a huge mistake. I left feeling like I needed to wash all my belongings multiple times just to get rid of the smell and grime.

Bottom line: Do not stay here. Spend your money elsewhere, even if it costs more.

A disgusting place ans a very bad choice on our part
Pros:

The property was close to the airport

Cons:

The property itself was nothing like the pictures. The first room. They took us to had standing water on the floor from the air conditioner. It also him running water from the faucet in the tub. We rejected it when they offered us another room. The second room had peeling paint, black mold on the walls in the bathroom And bedsheets were not fresh. We did not even stay second night despite paying for it because the property was so disgusting.
