I few years ago, my friend Anna Falana and I decided to road trip to Chicago for Labor Day. We drove into Chicago thinking we’d be able to get a hotel room, not realizing they’d all be booked for the holiday. We called around until we found a place that had an open room… The Sportsman’s Inn Motel.

Anna Falana and I went into the motel, and the staff were behind a glass partition. Not a good sign. The place looked sketchy, but we really needed a room. The woman at the front desk asked how long we wanted to stay. That’s when we found out the place rented the rooms in 4-hour increments, or overnight. Uh, not good. We told her we wanted to stay all night. Then the lady said she couldn’t rent to us because she thought we were prostitutes.

I looked at what Anna Falana and I were wearing… tank tops, knee length denim skirts, and flip flops. If we were hookers, we sure did a shitty job dressing for success. I told Anna Falana that I didn’t want to argue over a crappy motel room with a woman who thought we were prostitutes. When we walked out, I noticed a cop sitting in the lobby. So that’s why we were turned down. Normally, the place probably does bang-up business renting to hookers and johns.

Here’s some pics from their website…

So if you ever want to rent a room for 4 hours with a prostitute in Chicago, check out the Sportsman’s Inn Motel. Just make sure there are no cops in the lobby.

That place looks awesome! Although the space room is a tad creepy because it looks like a kid’s bedroom.

do they have pictures of how lit up the place would be with a black light? just thinking about it makes me want to grab some hand sanitizer.

Well, of course those pics are from the web site…

wink wink nudge nudge

the beach room seems to be lacking a bed. this arrangement will make a person shrivel up in a hurry

And don’t forget the Grecian Suite. Now that’s class, baby.

Is your friends name really Anna Falana? That is a catchy name!

I will make sure and let my dad know, since he is staying there in Chicago for a year on a work program. He is always looking for culture and action.

Something to say?
