South Side hotels from HK$546

"Lots of restaurants nearby."

"When you book with a motel, you know you’re not getting a five star experience. This was no exception. The first room we were given was filthy; dirt was all over the floor and it smelled strongly of smoke (despite being a non-smoking room). We requested a different room, which they didn’t give us any hassle about. The second room was cleaner and smelled less of smoke. However, the smell of stale cigarettes still lingered in the second room (which made sense considering the cigarette burns in the walls and bathroom). While the bed in both rooms looked clean (and appeared to not have any bedbugs), the walls and floor were filthy and looked as though they had never been cleaned. The towels were threadbare and scratchy, and I don’t think I’ve seen older pillows in my life. It reminded me of the crappy apartments I’ve previously lived in, except they didn’t even bother with the landlord paint job. The heater did work (but also smelled like smoke and mildew); we didn’t try the A/C since it’s March in Chicago. There’s not much around the area, but there are 4 gas stations and a bus stop a block away, so it’s not hard to get to some place better. Bottom line, would you die staying the night here? No. Should you stay somewhere else if you have the means? Yes. "

"Very good hotel clean efficient safe "

"Parking"

"This hotel was an absolute disaster, and the entire experience left my girlfriend and me feeling grossed out, frustrated, and genuinely unsafe. The rooms were far from clean—every single one had visible mold in the bathroom: black patches and spots covering the grout, shower tiles, wall edges, and caulking. It looked like years of neglect, even without any obvious smell. I had to switch rooms three times because each one was a new level of unacceptable: • First room: Mold in the bathroom + in-room jacuzzi jets completely non-functional (hit the switch multiple times—dead silence, no jets, no bubbles, nothing). • Second room: Refrigerator stopped working entirely (stayed warm inside, wouldn’t cool, ruined anything we tried to store in it). • Third room: Still terrible—the sheets clearly hadn’t been changed properly (hairs on the pillow, sticky residue on the nightstand), there were burn marks/scorch marks on the sheets (like cigarette burns or iron mishaps that were never replaced), and no latch, chain, or secondary lock on the door (just the basic knob lock, offering zero extra security). The most horrifying incident happened around 6 a.m. one morning: We were both fast asleep, completely naked, when I woke up just in time to see someone (likely staff or someone with access) quietly slipping out of the room and closing the door behind them. I was in shock, didn’t immediately yell or jump up—I just froze watching them leave. My girlfriend slept through it and heard nothing."

"Quaint and quiet for solo travelers. A pretty cozy stay but be very cautious of the refundable deposit. They’re not on it like your average hotel/airbnb so you will have to remind them via email. Their phone number isn’t the greatest, as it is hard to communicate to the staff, they don’t have a regular set of hours by the phone. Kitchen wasn’t used for my stay but it looked neat and clean, perfect for those who intend on staying longer. "

"When it was check in time the first desk reception was rude. Seemed like didn’t know what to do and didn’t know the policy "

"Very enjoyable stay. Great little restaurants nearby."

"Room is dirty, bad cleaning. Gave us a single bedroom as we ordered double bedroom online, and they refused to give any refund. Suck motel overall."
