Beds comfortable. Room quiet. Nive view of Lake Michigan.

Rachel, United States of America

Very basic motel which I chose for price, free parking, and location. My son had an event at U Chicago, and I didn’t feel like spending over $150 for a place to stay 1 night. This place is part of a nicer, and more expensive La Quinta, which can be a little confusing. It’s like the poor man’s wing of La Quinta, but when I checked their rates, I was glad I was where I was. Everything was fine; check in smooth, room clean, I felt safe, and nothing got stolen. I was on the pool side, in April, so aside from Lake Shore Drive traffic, it was quiet. It was basic, but I would stay here again if I need to be on the south side. If you like luxury or you’re picky, this might not be your place.

Kimberly, United States of America

The location of the hotel was good as it was out of town, but the hotel offers a free shuttle bus which takes you downtown so this is a good place to stay for those who do not want to spend too much on accommodation.

Anna, United States of America

The bed was comfortable. The room over all wasn't horrible. The location is easy to get to and it is located in a decent spot that has plenty to do. Not far from Navy Peier, museums and the zoo.

Jtfam17, United States of America

Staff and shuttle drivers are professional and kind. Fairly quite from other guests in rooms. Location was good price for Uber rides.

D, United States of America

The hotel door along with the security door is right by your car. Cozy room

Ronald, United States of America

Nothing. Everything was wrong with this terrible place. I don't suggest it to anyone.

Casey, United States of America

For the price it was excellent. It's not the Hilton and they are not trying to be. It's clean, quit, and only a 7 minutes walk from the train, Wholefoods, and Native Foods Café so I was covered.

Lars, Canada

People are very friendly. The shuttle service to UChicago and downtown is very convenient. Location is good, about 2 blocks away from public transportation.

Hueicheng, United States of America

The location is excellent, the facility is very nice, and the price is on point.

Luis, United States of America

눉Toilet seat paint was peeling, the shower made a lot of noise, could loudly hear the people above us walking around and talking outside our window. Also, our room key stopped working on 3 different occasions.
눇It was a no frills hotel but a good price for the location and staff was friendly. I read some bad reviews before coming to the hotel so I was a bit wary but the hotel was fine. Could use a few updates but otherwise we enjoyed our stay. They also offered a free shuttle not only to downtown Chicago but to the convention we were attending! It was definitely a nice surprise. I would stay here again.

“Based on reviews, not quite what we were expecting but worked out okay.”
- • Business trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I read a lot of reviews. I believe some were from the neighboring La Quinta property and were mixed in with the Chicago Lake Shore property. I was expecting a bigger room with a refrigerator and complimentary breakfast based on the reviews I read. So it was disappointing. But the place was adequate. We did eat in the Lake Shore Cafe, which is at the neighboring property so a short walk. It was very good but not complementary. However, the host at the restaurant told me to ask at the front desk of Chicago lake Shore hotel where we were staying for discount coupons for the breakfast buffet at the restaurant. I did and saved some money. I wondered why the coupons were not offered at my check in.
눇We chose this hotel for the location (close to where we would be spending most of our time). And for the low price.

“You get what you pay for, cheap room for those who want to see Chicago but certainly no frills.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room with Two Double Beds

눉The rooms were old, outdated and smelt of cigarettes despite it being a non-smoking hotel. The cleanliness wasn't great and the toilet wasn't fixed to the floor properly. The smell of smoke was so bad that even the hotel towels smelt of cigarettes. It was a horrible place to spent the night with two young children. If you're a smoker and you love to smell like an ash tray then this is the place for you!!!
눇The location of the hotel was good as it was out of town, but the hotel offers a free shuttle bus which takes you downtown so this is a good place to stay for those who do not want to spend too much on accommodation.

눉It should be stated somewhere on their site that the card must have your name in it, temporary cards do not work. We had to go find an ATM to get cash, ( which wasn't horrible) The rooms did not have a microwave or a fridge which would have made our stay a little easier for a multiple night trip. There is no vending machines or pop machines. The first night was nice and quiet, the second night the people in the room upstairs had their music blasting until at least 3 am and where running up and down the stairs and yelling all night long.
눇The bed was comfortable. The room over all wasn't horrible. The location is easy to get to and it is located in a decent spot that has plenty to do. Not far from Navy Peier, museums and the zoo.
