The backyard is shared between this unit and our other Penthouse unit, TRES.

*If you are staying for a weekend, we need to limit your reservation to one night only so the other group has the opportunity to enjoy the space as well.

Our concierge will reach upon your booking to see if they can help with any special requests or needs such as stocking the fridge, helping load in your items, or help with booking a private chef for a special dinner at the property.

Unit is steps to the most amazing restaurants the city has to offer, fun dance spots, shopping, a vegan diner, and even a bar with a bowling lane. Check out Emporium, a bar plus arcade, just next door or picnic in one of the many grassy boulevards Logan Square has to offer. Forgot something? There is a Target on your block! We are 10 minutes to downtown and 30 minutes to O’Hare airport via the Blue Line Train, which is only a block walk from the unit. The bus stop is literally on the doorstep.

California Blue Line stop is about a 5 minute walk away and the Fullerton bus and Milwaukee bus are around the corner and give easy access to Lincoln Park, downtown, the Red Line Train, Wicker Park, and the West Loop.

We may have two covered garage parking spots available onsite for an additional $35/space per night. If you are interested in this option, please let us know ASAP. It is based on a first come, first serve basis.

This is property has a two story walkup to reach the second floor.

The 4th bedroom is a private bedroom off of the back stairwell, but is still connected to the unit on the same floor. It has a private door to access.

The property is located in the heart of Logan Square's bustling restaurant district and walking distance to public transportation. There will be city noise, and we provide sound machines and earplugs for your comfort.

O'Hare Airport is just a 20 minute commute. The California Blue Line train is 2 blocks away walking distance from El Motel making your commute an absolute breeze.
Thank you for booking with us! Please read through our House Rules below:

We love hosting new guests, for security reasons, we just need to ensure you are real. You must provide a valid photo ID, or we may have to refuse your booking. By booking, you confirm you’re at least 25 years old—because we like to keep things above board, not a college dorm party.

The number of people on the property should match the number on your reservation. If you’re planning to invite extra guests, let us know at least 24 hours before they show up.

Please respect the check-in and checkout times listed in your reservation—unless you’ve already worked out a different plan with us ahead of time.
Need an earlier check-in or a later check-out? We got you! Just keep in mind, we can only confirm this 24-48 hours before your arrival, as it depends on the guests checking in or out before/after you. But here’s what’s available:

10 AM Early Check-in = $150

1 PM Early Check-in = $100

1 PM Late Check-out = $100

4 PM Late Check-out = $150

Parking:

Heads up: No parking spaces are included with any Chicago rentals.We have 2 parking spots available on-site for $35 per night. These spots are hotter than a downtown coffee shop, so they’re first come, first served—get in early, or risk the street!

For the adventurous parkers, we’ll send you a map of free nearby parking two weeks before your check-in. You’ll find this treasure map in your digital guidebook. Check out the SpotHero app for additional paid reserved parking in the area.

One last thing: BANGTEL is not liable for parking tickets, towing, or any damage. So, park smart and read the signs! Oh, and parking fees are non-refundable—because once your car’s parked, it’s part of the family.

Patio Backyard:

The back patio is a shared space between El Motel Dos and El Motel Tres—think of it as a peaceful hangout spot where everyone’s invited! Want the patio all to yourselves? No problem! Just ask us to reserve it for you, or go big and book both floors for the ultimate El Motel United takeover. It’s free to reserve, but just remember, it’s first come, first served—so snag it early if you can.

Furry Friends & Service Animals:

Pets stay with us for FREE! (Yep, you read that right—no extra charge for your four-legged buddy!) Please just let us know if you’re bringing along your furry friend, so we can ensure everything is all set.

We love your furry pals, but they need to be house-trained before they check in. (No one wants an impromptu “indoor water feature” on the rug.)
Our beds and couches are super comfy, but we kindly ask your pet to respect the boundaries.

Please scoop up after your pets and we kindly request that they not be left unattended.

If your pet does decide to redecorate with some furniture damage or starts a neighborhood concert (aka noisy complaints), we’ll have to ask you to foot the bill for repairs.

Cleanup:

Please leave the property in the same condition as when you arrived.

Dispose of all trash in the correct receptacles outside (they’re clearly marked, so no need to guess). If you use the wrong one, you might discover an unexpected fine.

Leave furniture where you found it or move it back if you do.

Before you go, turn off all lights, shut windows, and lock the doors. Think of it like tucking the house in for the night.

Smoking:

SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE PROPERTY. There’s a $1,000 charge if you’re caught smoking indoors or if we can still smell last night’s smoke after you’ve checked out (we’re very sensitive like that and the next guests checking in may be too). Feel free to light up outside, but be a good sport and please dispose of your cigarette butts properly. Let’s keep the property looking and smelling fresh. We appreciate you!

Party Glitter + Confetti:

PARTY GLITTER OR CONFETTI IS NOT ALLOWED. Sure, glitter and confetti are the life of the party, but they’re also the nightmare of cleanup. It’s like trying to catch a rainbow in a vacuum cleaner.

If you bring glitter or confetti inside the property (or anywhere on the premises), we’ll charge you a $250 fee. Consider it a "glitter tax" for making us battle with tiny sparkly bits for days.

Photoshoots:

No professional photos or videos allowed without BANGTEL’s prior written permission. We love a good Insta moment, but if you’re planning to turn the property into your personal photo studio, please give us a heads up first! Make sure to let us know before booking or right after, and we'll let you know if special rates, fees, or conditions apply.

If a photo or video shoot happens without our approval, we’ll charge a fee at our discretion. Not sure if your photography is a professional shoot? Don’t worry, we’re happy to review your work! We promise we’re more lenient than magazine editor, but we still need to know what’s going on behind the lens.

Special Occasions:

Planning to host an event, like a wedding, corporate function, bridal party, or any shindig involving guests not listed in your reservation? Well, unless you're planning a surprise "Party of the Year" with us as your co-host, you’ll need prior written permission from BANGTEL. No impromptu events—this isn’t the venue for a flash mob, no matter how fun that sounds!

Additional fees apply for hosting special occasions, so let us know in advance and we’ll work out the details. We love a good celebration, but we also love keeping property in tip-top shape.

Be a Good Neighbor:

Please respect the other tenants and neighbors—after all, we're all in this together. No noise in or around the property (including hallways and common areas), and please keep your music at a level that doesn’t make the neighbors think they’ve accidentally wandered into a concert.
After 10 p.m., let’s keep the volume low enough to hear the crickets, not the bass.

Bachelor Party Success!

We had a great stay with Bangtel. We had a group of 7 for a bachelor party, and accommodations were perfect. The Bangtel team did a great job at communicating and staying in touch to ensure the trip went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Great spot for a bachelorette!

We had a wonderful time at Bangtel! The listing was extremely accurate and the space was very clean. We had 13 girls staying at the place across the 4 bedrooms and with 2 full air mattresses that they provided us.

Comfortable place to explore Chicago

Nice, nice, spacious place to explore Chicago. Very comfortable beds. Communication with BANGTEL was really good. When we needed support they were immediately available on the phone. We stayed there as a family. Good connection to downtown. Not totally quiet but we all could sleep very well.

Logan Square Treasure

What a great stay! El Motel Dos was a fun and comfortable location for a week in the city. Close to the California and Logan Square L stops (blue line), this 4 bedroom apartment was the perfect spot to enjoy Chicago from. Walking distance from many great eateries (Furious Spoon, Sultan’s Market, Big Wig Tacos, Jenni’s, Devil Dawgs) and great shopping (Myopic Books, Rentless Records, Shugga Records, SteelPetalPress) and drinking spots. We very much enjoyed the decor, and the space was well appointed and comfortable. Good for our dog (thought the stairs were a little hard for his little legs!) and great neighborhood behind for walking. Relaxing patio for wine at night, but you can’t mind neighborhood noise (they did leave earplugs!) Spot Hero parking was only $40 for the week and was only one block away. We would definitely return for a stay and city adventure.

Earplugs necessary in otherwise edgy, fun venue

There were many things our group of nine appreciated about this venue, but it is located in the nightclub district where one cannot expect to get any sleep until after 2AM. This was hard on the whole group. The courtesy earplugs helped the adults but were unusable for the infants. We are all in pretty good shape so schlepping the heavy luggage up a flight an a half of steep stairs was doable, but difficult. The unit itself was very nice in all respects with a large common area which we loved. There was a washer and dryer we needed and used. There is a fourth bedroom which is outside the main unit and accessed through the stairwell, so unsuitable for children. The place is ideal for bachelorette or bachelor parties where adults stay up all night and don't expect to get to bed until after 2AM. The four 30-somethings in our group loved the neighborhood and the amenities of the neighborhood are great. I do not recommend for families of small children who will be impacted by the lack of sleep.

An experience🤗

We actually had to be moved last minute to one of Bangtel’s other properties, basically just down the road from our original booking. While it did create a few inconveniences, the overall experience was fabulous. The Bangtel team bent over backwards to accommodate us. It is clear that they know what they’re doing. My sister and I have stayed in many rentals over the course of many many years, and this was our best overall experience to date. I would highly recommend using a Bangtel property👍

Fun family time in Logan Square

This property was a great home base for our family. The location was perfect to hop on the L to get right downtown and there were lots of dining options nearby. The property was spacious and clean. We will keep it in mind for our next visit to Chicago.
