“As expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed here Saturday July 28through Monday July 30, whie visiting our son in nearby Evanston. Evanston hotels were $100 per night more for the weekend, so a slightly out of town cheaper option beckoned. The hotel is next to a giant mall, (old Orchard--Nordstroms, L and T, etc etc)which has a great breakfast restaurant(part of Maggiano's Little Italy, but with a separate name that eludes me), and is but a 10-12 minute drive to downtown Evanston. While the skokie property shows some signs of wear, and the appointments and services don't compare with the hilton garden Inn or Orrington in Evanston, nevertheless the place was clean, convenient and essentially what we expected. The staff was extremely helpful, giving me access to the front desk internet connection for last minute travel research and to print our boarding passes. We'd return again, especially in nice weather, when walking any distance in evanston is not problematic(in sub freezing weather, we prefer greater proximity to the campus).

“Great place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2005

people found this review helpful

I stayed here for a week in September. It's a great place to stay for its price ($70 for three people through internet booking, plus a $10 off coupon which you can print online). This place is pretty new --- I was told only two years, so everything is in good condition.

PROS:
Bathroom has ventilation
Wireless internet for $4 per stay
Lighting is sufficient
Room is quite spacious
Close to shopping mall (Westfield)
Supermarket (Jewel Osco) is 5 minutes drive away
Accessible location (right next to the highway)

CONS:
Far from downtown Chicago (30 minutes drive)
Carpet not very clean (stained in some places, but still basically clean)
They don't clean everyday (perhaps that's because of my weekly rate)
No oven
They don't provide oil, salt...
They don't provide an extra chair if you are a company of 3

All that being said, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an economic stay in the area.

“Great motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2005
3
people found this review helpful

Stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed every one.

Large, suite-size room with reclining chair, desk, desk-counter, refrigirator, microwave and kitchen corner. Clean, comfortable, well-maintained, friendly service. Ruby Tuesday right across the parking lot so one can return in the evening, shower, and walk straight to a great dinner that costs less than $20 including tip. Shopping mall is within a 10-minute walk of motel but no ill effects from noise or traffic. The area is very nice in general. Best of all, the price was $82 per night - very difficult to beat in Chicago at the absolute peak of tourism season.

All in all, highly recommended. Downsides:

- one of their maids evidently sheds hair like a doggie... not a huge issue,
everything still clean.

- slight problem with ants in bathroom and kitchen, nothing serious but
it would have been nice without

- front desk hours were a bit short

- no free breakfast

- the location is FAR from downtown Chicago, whether driving or traveling
by public transportation. 2-2.5 hours one way. The commute was very
taxing.
