The renovated room was nice… better than expected based on prior reviews. This is a nice quiet place to stay in the Hyde Park neighborhood, close to Lake Michigan and also close to bus, Metra and the “L” stations to reach downtown as well as the south side & south suburbs.

Clean room. Comfortable beds. Working a/c. But terrible WiFi which was a bummer. Not much around the hotel as it is a very residential area. But still more economical to stay here and uber into the city than to pay downtown prices.

The hotel was easy to find. The free Parking was a huge plus! Only 5 minutes walk to a CTA bus stop or Metra train. Our room was very clean. My only complaint was the lack of amenities. There wasn't even an ice or water machine, no vending machines, no breakfast. But if you just need a place to sleep while you explore Chicago by day then this place is perfect.

I had a great stay at this hotel and would gladly stay here again. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. The room was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately put me at ease. Everything looked fresh, organized, and cared for. The hotel's location was also excellent as it was near a train station that was a short ride to the downtown area. Between the outstanding cleanliness, convenient location, and genuinely friendly staff, this hotel provided a wonderful experience. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

It's more than I expected for what I paid. They haven't renovated the pool yet but the rooms are updated and nice. The staff was very friendly and incredibly helpful. You can cast to the TV's from your phone which was great. I could just use all my regular streaming apps. Close enough to downtown and right next to a park.

Bugs outside all the rooms. I killed some inside mine. The pool is behind repair so that tells you a lot about the property. Cheap spot to sleep for a last minute visit and was walking distance to where I needed to be but that’s it.

This is an older 2 story property with great big refinished rooms with lake views. Daily attention to room turndown excellent! Front desk staff very nice. Location is wonderful with the highway close, biking path and water close, food a short walk, and museums a short drive. Parking is free. Downside is part of the property is defunct with an empty pool, unused cafe and unused conference bldg. no elevator, no ice machine and poor shower pressure. A great price and memorable stay for us and would gladly come again!!

Well located for Hyde Park. Refurbished old motel was OK and clean, but there was no hair dryer, place to hang clothes, or luggage rack, and one thin blanket on the bed. Frig, microwave, and coffee OK. Only needed one night stay but would not use for a longer stay.

Good deal, but property under renovation. Inside the room was fine and had been redone, although there was a bid of dampness smell coming from the old AC unit. Outside there were dumpsters right outside our units and the sidewalks were crumbling. I assume most of this will be rectified with the completion of the renovation. Overall, there are not a lot of options in the Hyde Park area and this was affordable; plus it was a nice walk to both the downtown Hyde Park area and the lake trail/Promontory Point via the pedestrian overpass.
