D-Lux Budget Inn

HORRIBLE: During my noon check-​in I encountered a horrid manager who was rude and belligerent towards myself and another guest. I decided to cancel my reservation and go elsewhere. But when I asked for my credit card back, he ran a blank credit card slip and demanded me to sign it. When I refused and left, I received a text alert from VISA that a $ 75 charge was now pending by the D-​Lux Budget inn. I called VISA to file a merchant fraud alert and notified police. Responding officers took a police report and mentioned this property has a long history of incidents involving police. I never saw a room, but certainly wouldn’t stay at this «Bates Motel.» Or at-​least until this manager is either let go or has a major attitude adjustment. It’s a shame because it’s kind of a cute little 50’s motel property.

horrible. do not stay there… had to call police on owner for charging me twice. nasty owner

Do not stop here you will have problems the police are called very often by the owner for anything parking wrong having a friend over very many complains from police dept this guy calls them often stay away enjoy yourself at a better hotel

I am in lemont for work, and I needed to stay the night. Seeing as how this was the closest inn to my work I decided to give it a shot. A one bed room is only $ 55 per night, and it was worth every penny. They have recently done renovations and it definitely shows. I was skeptical when I saw that the only Unilocal review was one star, but the moment I entered my room all of my worries were laid to rest. The rooms are very clean and neat. My room included a mini fridge, microwave, heat/​AC unit that works very well, a flat screen tv with dish network and plenty of light. This will definitely be my go-​to motel any time I’m in lemont. Two thumbs up!

I can only speak of my phone experience and not of a stay. I called to check availability for a possible stay in a few weeks. A woman answered the phone and I began to ask if they had any rooms available and I was immediately cut off before I could even say for when. She kept repeating there was «Nothing, we have nothing.» Anytime I tried to clarify, she just kept repeating it and said «Goodbye» and hung up. First impressions say a lot. I can tell I dodged a bullet here. Very unprofessional.
