There were some issues with rooms due to Expedia overbooking rooms, the two woman at the desk were doing everything imaginable to accommodate everyone while dealing with more than a few rude individuals. They handled the situation as best they could while also maintaining their professionalism and were very courteous. I felt very bad for them but they continued working with smiles, this location is very lucky to have them.

Rented a room here for 4 nights for Navy graduation. We had a 2 bedroom suite and it was very spacious, it had a small kitchenette. It was comfortable, beds were ok but All of the furniture was very old and could be replaced. Couch was small and old, very dirty. Walking in, one of the toilets was dirty and it had been used and not flushed, was pretty gross, #2, which made me believe the unit as a whole was not cleaned very well. That didn’t set at a good tone. The day after we arrived the exit door which was closest to our room stopped working. We could not get in with our cards. Eventually someone put tape on the door handle so the door would open and cards weren’t needed. Didn’t seem very safe, but the door was usable. We had a room on Waukegan Rd side of the motel, a very busy, main road. We could hear every car driving by, which made sleep difficult. Nice view of an Amazon building out the window. Overall it was ok for as much time as we spent in it, we explored Chicago and surrounding towns a lot. It’s close to beaches of Lake Michigan, very close to a lot of food options. Walmart was close as well. Very good location, and the rooms are spacious.

Great place!

Our stay here was great. Room was delightful only 2 issues, one was there was a bunch of crumbs under the cushion on the couch and the other was the leather chairs at the table were worn real bad and peeling which made it look bad. Of course we didn’t care. However my husband mentioned to the front desk about the crumbs in the couch just so they would know to clean it when we checked out. But, they were on top of it and came to our room right away and vacuumed the couch. Other than that it was very clean and very comfortable. I recommend this place as a place to stay and if I’m ever in the area I would stay there again. Oh by the way the continental breakfasts were great. They kept up on adding fresh and hot food.
