The property was clean and they had signs at check in about not putting up with noise. The cleaner was a little strong on the perfume side, but not terrible once the a/c ran for a little bit. The fitted sheet didn’t want to stay on the mattress. Over all it was clean and economical stay.

No-frills, affordable motel in Brookfield. Room was clean, relatively modern. Had microwave, refrigerator. If you are in town to check out Galloping Ghost Arcade, this place is basically within walking distance.

I was in town for work and i found the accommodations very lovely . The management is very kind. This is a classic vintage property meticulously cared for by the family that owns it. This is not a chain . This is a family operated, independent establishment. So rare these days.

This motel was absolutely adorable! I felt like I was pulling up to a fancy 70's motel. The room was bigger than most hotel rooms. The check in was easy and staff was wonderful. The only complaints would be fairly minor. They forgot to clean the fridge and the shampoo was partially used and they forgot to throw it away. The biggest complaint would be that we weren't in the room very long and our feet were black from the carpet and need professional cleaning on them. I would absolutely stay there again though and it was still a huge win from having to pay $300-$600 for a room downtown. It was an easy 20 minute drive into downtown Chicago.
