Very disappointed. It’s a run down motel and the owners/operators don’t seem to have pride in their establishment.
Pros:

It was near where I had business to conduct

Cons:

The room was dirty when I arrived. It didn’t appear to have been thoroughly cleaned after the last guest had departed. The bed was made and there were 2 somewhat clean looking towels in the bathroom, but the carpet had not been vacuumed and the furniture
hadn’t been dusted. It’s a beat-up and run down motel. I thought I was in a 3rd World country out on the frontier.
I told the front desk that I wanted the room cleaned thoroughly before I would stay the 2nd night of my 2 night stay.

Pros:

The beautiful half functional neon sign.And the name.could be a nice vintage motel.

Cons:

no toilet roll holder, filthy bathroom- dirt and hair everywhere.had to clean tub and can. Bed bugs but no sheets or blankets on the stained mattresses, just outdated bedspreads. beyond that the walls needed a sandblasting and a coat of paint.it looked like spit and smeared godknowswhat all over.but do love the sign so time to change the bulb in the apache head and clean up the shit already. I paid around too much for the room Very bizarre place.

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.
