Unexpectedly great.
Pros:

Accommodations exceeded expectations, nicely updated room, interiors were surprising for what is obviously an old motel.
The woman at the front desk who checked me in was pleasant and helpful as could be with offering ways to get to a CTA station. Really great customer service.

Cons:

Nothing, amazing value for the money with great accommodating service. I will be back. Don't live too far - next to O'Hare in Rosemont but when I want to spend a weekend in Chicago this will be my go-to.

I would strongly consider staying there again, if I’m on a budget and and want to be in a great north side location clo
Pros:

It was rehabbed a couple of years ago and tastefully updated for a 50’s motel. It is the most updated along the compared of quite a few options on the N Lincoln Ave strip that is family owned. So it was a really good value! It was clean! The bed was very comfortable, it was fairly quiet.

Cons:

The staff which are a family were nice, and professional for the most part. They lived above our room and had a few arguments. And they had loud conversations a few times outside on the steps. They also ran the vacuum at late hours of the night. They need to be more considerate for the guests that are close to the living quarters up front. Some plaster was getting bubble and falling off in the bathroom due to moisture. But it was clean and everything worked.
