SYCAMORE – The former America's Best Value Inn and Suites is now a Motel 6.
The commercial property at 1860 DeKalb Ave. in Sycamore was purchased by Aksharanand Motel for $1,025,000 and became Motel 6 on Jan. 12, according to general manager Akshay Patel.
According to property transactions, Plank Road LLC sold the motel to Aksharanand Motel on Jan. 4. Aksharanand Motel owns and operates nine other hotels such as Super 8 and some independent lodging in areas such as St. Charles and Waukegan, Patel said. One of the corporation's partners, Vidyut Patel, keeps looking for new properties for the company to acquire, Akshay Patel said.
Patel said they're planning future renovations or changes to the 51-room motel, which he believes was built eight or nine years ago, to follow Motel 6 requirements.
