    There's so much I hate about this place. It is disgusting, dirty, in poor shape and NOT SAFE! Here's the worst of my list: -Trash, including broken glass everywhere. I hated taking my dogs for a walk because there was no safe ground to walk on. -Noise all hours of the day, people drunk and fighting. Don't expect to sleep. -Bugs and gnats constantly coming out of my sink -WiFi doesn't work. Don't select the pay option. So, I'll explain my stay. It was for around 30 days due to work. It was ok at first. Then crowds of people checked in. I'm 99% sure it's a group of Romanian Gypsies. Just look at the pictures I'm posting. They are everywhere! They let their kids run around all over the place, banging on doors and windows. They congregate, and when you try to walk through, they won't even move to let you by. They are loud. Constant yelling, fighting and no regard for others. They have way too many people per room. Beds pushed together and 6-7 kids sleeping while they leave their doors open. The drunken fights started just a few days ago, and I feel more unsafe than ever. I have to walk through the crowds with my 2 little dogs and get yelled at when the dogs bark because the kids are trying to grab them. I know it's not Motel 6's fault for the people who stay here, but there needs to be some control over these issues. It isn't worth saving money on a room when you have to deal with the stress of this.

    Do not stay here, after waking up in the middle of the night I was greeted by cockroaches in the room I was able to kill one get a picture and they would still not issue a refund. The front desk was argumentative and said no refund they don't care how disgusting the room was . Other than cockroaches it had mold and was disgustingly dirty. Do not stay unless it is very literally the very last choice and even then you are probably better off in your car.

    Don't. Just don't. Thank me later. I have traveled frequently all over the country and this by far has been the most disgusting and utterly horrifying place I've stayed. Not only is it uncomfortable beyond belief, I do I not feel safe in Room 115 of this building. In fact, due to the sheer severity of uncleanliness in this motel I would feel safer sleeping in my car and that's saying something. At least I know that much is clean. I rarely complain and after driving 10 hrs with a cat at 2am I didn't have much choice and was too tired to fight it. I almost went back to the front desk to request a clean room but was so exhausted I just stayed dressed and tried to fall asleep. This place should be inspected for what I assume are numerals health code violations. I took pictures and video of everything this morning, including but not limited to; smears, stains, tears, and crumbs in the beds, on the nightstands, countertops; some dark liquid dripping from the walls in multiple places, broken lamps/shoddy electrical work; musty dust and smoke smell blasting through the vents; and worst of all, broken hinges on the doors. The metal hinge lock AND the dead bolt hardware was nearly pulled clean off. I will never, and I mean never, stay at a place like this again and not even entertain another Motel 6 no matter how desperate the circumstances. I feel cheated out of 70 some dollars because it didn't even do its basic function of providing rest for a weary, cross-country traveller. In the morning I also realized the TV doesn't even get a signal. Don't waste your money, I'll take my chances in the car next time, beats leaving with bacteria and bugs.

    Toilet paper in bathroom

    Right off the bat pulling into the parking lot I noticed a lot of noisy people who appeared to be living there long term. Children riding on scooters who were swearing at us as we got out of the car. Staff seemed friendly enough, and check in was easy. Got to our room and it appeared neat at first glance. Then we noticed the counters and tables were falling apart, the microwave had bugs in it and the shower had sewer flies. We checked the beds for bed bugs and luckily it looks like we managed to avoid that. There was old toilet paper stuffed into corners in the bathroom, almost like paper mache in an attempt to cover something up. The towels were threadbare and all we got was a bar of soap. Honestly we could have dealt with all of that for the few nights we spent there but on the second night a cockroach crawled out from under the microwave and went INTO IT when I went to take my food out. We noped right out of there, and getting a refund was easier than I thought. They didn't even seemed fazed. I guess that's what we get for trying to save a couple bucks!!

    Almost sure that's a bed bug.....

    Bruh. I get that this is a MOTEL 6. But this is really bad. I'm usually a cheapskate, scratch that, I try to be conscience of my money, so I figured for $41 my expectations were not high. HOWEVER, I did expect my room to be vacuumed but it definitely wasn't. This is how my stay went..... I checked in at 5pm on Sunday November 15,2020. They put me on room 134. The floors were gross and obviously not cleaned. Okay whatever, I'm not sleeping on the floor anyways, I'll let it slide. As I'm inspecting the rest of the room, I find more debris, dead bugs, spider webs, dust, etc. The thing that turned me into a Karen, and complained to the front desk, was when I found a BED BUG in my room. A really live bed bug. I was disgusted, immediately went to the front desk and told him my findings, he was extremely dismissive, almost annoyed and gave me a new room. No apologies, no nothing. Just "you're in room 221 now." Okay.... thanks, I guess? I go to room 221, and it's even dirtier!!!!! Not sure if it was rodent poop but those little dark pebble looking things was all over the floor. But no bed bugs in that room. Okay whatever. It's freaking 28 degrees outside and I'm trying to turn on the heater, but guess what? IT DOESN'T work! So, I had to take my cold ass back to the front desk and tell him that my heater wasn't working. He rolls his eyes and says "come on, I'll help you," as if I'm too stupid to use a GD heater.... he gets to the room and starts pressing all these buttons on the heater and he still can't get it to work. He stared at it puzzled and then finally offered me a new room, again, for the 3rd time. Room 347. Not as dirty as the other rooms and the heater actually works this time. I finally feel okay to grab my bag out of my car to bring it into the room. I go get it, come back, and MY CARD KEY DOESN'T WORK. I had to go to front desk AGAIN to tell the front desk my key isn't working. The lady(at this point, there was a shift change), puts the card into her machine and hands me back the same card. I go back to the room and the damn key STILL doesn't work... I had to GO BACK TO THE FRONT DESK, and she had to escort me to the room with her master key. She tried the key she gave me and it still didn't work. So I am key-less. It is now 1am and I am cold, annoyed, and exhausted. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME, and SANITY AND STAY SOME WHERE ELSE!!! The cheap rate is NOT worth the headache!!!!

    If you ever find yourself unfortunate enough to spend the night here you're in for many surprises…read morealong the way. Frankly, I don't know where to begin. Our stay here added additional "lore" to our already planes trains and automobiles like experience with the infamous ORD airport. In our delirious desperation we chose to retreat to this hotel, which from the outside, is unassuming but unfortunately there is more than meets the eye. While returning from our vacation, and ill equipped, as many travelers are, I stood with vigilance outside in my shorts and sandals in 20 degree weather. However, my waiting proved fruitless as I was informed that the shuttle comes by only once an hour while all others have come roughly 5 times. Naturally we waited another 25 minutes for the shuttle which of course was crammed with all of those with our same misfortune. Check in was a breeze aside from the fact that because of the shuttle schedule the one person up front is unable to check in all 20 of us at the same time thus leading to a long line. After check in we saw our rooms. Because of how many people were in my party we got two rooms. Upon entering the first room, we field stripped the beds to search for bed bugs which came back negative for bugs. The tile however was a different story. Reports of water being underneath the floor and thus squirted from the gaps between the tile came from some members of my group. In my rooms bathroom the towels had strands of hair and black specks littered across the surface. But unbeknownst to me a crime scene awaited me through the door. Upon examination my shower appeared to be the scene of an execution with blood or a similar substance smeared on the walls and floor. I wish I was kidding. After being awake for 45 hours dealing with the nightmare at O'Hare I was ready to sleep so I pulled the sheets back to reveal hair of all varieties littering my sheets which was accompanied by many stains. Stains... Oh! Now that I mention it that reminds me that the blue couch in my room had inconspicuous white stains all over it making certain spots literally look like the couch had polka dots on it. After attempting to decontaminate my bed as much as possible with the tools available, I slept in the cesspool bed. When I woke up I ate "breakfast", which is a strong word for what was provided. Breakfast consisted of what was later determined to be eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, and pancakes. The eggs had the texture of playground rubber and the other things were DOA so to speak as they were undercooked and cold. And this brings our journey to a close... oh wait I lied. After returning to my room from breakfast the fire alarm went off repeatedly. I later learned this was a test which would have been good to know beforehand. After the alarm went off I quickly packed my things to leave not because of panic from the possibility of fire but because I was literally itching to get out of there.

    Nearly everything cause improve. After traveling for almost two days straight our last flight…read moreleaving O'Hare Airport was cancelled, they gave us vouchers to this "hotel" which we obviously took because we wanted a place to sleep that wasn't an airport or ditch, but after waiting for the shuttle to the hotel for an hour in the cold rain I thought I might need to resort to my other options. Once the shuttle guy finally came we made it there and got two rooms. Now I'm not saying I'm mad at this experience I'm just disappointed, I went into my room and thought I was in a morgue from how cold it was once I got it above 65 degrees I was quite pleased, besides the carpet that was a nanometer of fabric draped over a slab a concrete. The bathroom that had peel and stick tiles that clearly failed to stick, with a shower that sprayed like the cone and jet setting on a hose combined, but hey at least the bathroom had the decor that looked like someone cut their hand off and started throwing blood around and also is it normal for the sheets to have enough hair to start a wig company? Anyway, I woke up and went to breakfast which was fine I guess, besides the fact they only made enough for only the first people that came leaving the ones who value their sleep with literally nothing besides uncooked squares of potatoes with grams of salt on them, and orange juice that only a man with no senses would enjoy. But, hey, at least they don't have water. Some other things that happened included the fire alarm going off several times, everywhere being at a whopping 60°, and the elevator that decided to stop working well we were in it making us resort to their stairs, and I don't know if this was my problem but the WiFi didn't work. Overall I'd rate it about 1/5 stars because their beds are very comfortable.

The hotel entrance after the revolving doors is stunning. I went to my co-workers hotel room to drop off my gear and it was very clean. Spacious rooms and the bathroom mirror had an embedded TV. We headed to breakfast where the food was in the hallway and the dining was in the big event room where main speakers were going to be. The room where we had the presentation fit around 30 people in round tables. The AV guy came in to check if we were all tested and ready to go which was all set!

The only bad part, there was another conference and you had to pass through this area for the other conference and they were taking our coffee, drinks, etc. The venue finally out signs. We had a formal dinner but the staff seemed very rushed in everything. Before my co-worker was finished eating they were already asking him if he was finished and wanting dessert.

The rooms here are spacious, CLEAN, well stocked, CLEAN, have comfy beds, CLEAN....did I mention it was clean? The breakfast buffet is nothing short of a religious experience. Parking is plentiful and this area has lots of amenities that are easy to access. Onto the stuff that held my other 2 stars hostage: 1) the internet is slow. I mean really slow. Like walking with grandma using her walker slow. 2) the elevators here are a disaster. Slower than the internet. It takes FOREVER! If I am willing to walk 14 flights of stairs to get to my room, you know something ain't right! And I did walk them....several times. 3) the refreshment hour is a chaotic mess. One bartender, a line a mile long (at least a 20 min wait) and they do not refill the snacks. It's like cattle to a feeding trough...get there fast or you'll starve. 4) Tawnee at the front desk was rude, curt, combative and inattentive. Every other staff member I spoke to was a complete joy. Tawnee needs some customer service training and a nice massage! I would stay here again for sure. Coming in knowing what I do, I'd plan better.
