Motel 6

I created an account on Unilocal just soo I can give this place a review. Before even giving me the key, They started being disrespectful. Telling me upfront that even if I think about doing something, they will kick me out and kept pointing at me, all because I am a bit younger. I am a customer who just paid them 400 $ and this is how they treat me… I strongly do not recommend this motel. Oh and I forgot to mention that there is no fridge.

Absolutely terrible.
Whoever designed this place loves staircases. The outside looks like a MC Escher picture with staircases all over the place. It looks like they recently repainted the outside white, however all the metal is rusting through. Orange rust stains are everywhere. Everything is cracked and peeling. And speaking of the cracks, I saw a mouse or a rat running from one to the other at night. Also, the planes fly right over the hotel to land at O’Hare. If you are a light sleeper you are screwed.
The rooms at first glance look decent. However, you quickly find that looks are deceiving. The minute I walked in I found the door doesn’t close properly. I literally had to press against the door with my whole body to get the door to shut and to lock the deadbolt. Not only that, but you can see daylight between the door and the frame. This means all the cold air comes in. Speaking of doors, all the rooms are connected suites, so there are two doors connecting to the next room. The door on my side will not deadbolt, just safety latch. That means the person on the other side could open their door and then open mine up a little. Also the doors do not block sound. I can hear the person next to me watch tv, blow their nose, and talk. I can hear the person next to me doing… Something. I can’t recognize the sound, not that I want to.
Their isn’t much in the way of furniture. My bed squeaks every time I move. It isn’t held to the wood floor in any way. So when you sit down it slides a little. There are two shitty nightstands beside the bed and a desk. They are cheap, but solid. However there are no drawers. So all you have is the top surface area to put things.
The heater works. Somewhat. You can put in in a temperature and it blows hot air, but it certainly doesn’t keep the room at the temperature you select. It just turns on and off at random. Every morning I wake up freezing.
The floors are all wood. They look nice until you realize they are dirty. There is hair and stains on the floor. They obviously don’t mop them unless their is obviously visible dirt. Plus with the fact it get so cold the wood floors are freezing.
The bathrooms are ok. Needlessly fancy, considering how crappy the rest of the room is. Plus the bathroom light is tied to the exhaust fan. I hate that. Why don’t have to listen to a fan make noise while I am in the bathroom? The towels at least appear to be clean, but whatever they wash them with makes them stiff. Towels are supposed to be soft, not stiff.
Thank god I have my phone, as there is no clock I this room. What hotel doesn’t have a clock in every room?
I could go on, but why? This place sucks.

Great place service was awesome rooms clean can’t ask more the price is great. The location is perfect for stay only no shuttle to airport. Taxi only cost$ 18 from ohare airport. Its pet friendly.

cheap and near the city. the room was remodeled, neat and clean (the entire hotel appears to be undergoing renovations). flat screen tv. shinny walls. new furniture. nice staff. plenty of parking. the motel is mostly surrounded by a fence and apartment complexes. a Denny’s next door.
the loud fan on the AC drowned out the low flying planes that passed by every few minutes to half hour, or so. While walking to check-​in, a low flying 747 type plane scared me almost to death, as it was flying just several hundred feet above and I honestly thought it was going to crash! totally mesmerizing to see the low landing planes. one after another, after another, after another!
LOOK AT YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT! I was charged TWICE!

I love this motel6 nice, clean, and quiet.
Thank you for this lovely motel. the AC units is working so good it’s quietly

Great and friendly costumer service. We arrived after 14h drive too early for check in and they got ours rooms ready in almost no time. Very clean rooms for a very cheap price. We didn’t want a fancy hotel just to sleep in it. We will probably stay at any other locations of motel 6

Toilet just got plugged. Called the front desk. «Do you have a plunger?» «Sorry all our plungers are out tonight.» WTF!!!
Why do all the walkways smell like vomit?
Been here for three days and no sign of housekeeping.
Where am I supposed to set my clothes when I take a shower if there’s no toilet
lid?
How does a hotel run out of hot water?

There is bed bugs in room i get too many bites its the worst motel in the world and there us lady in that night very stiff

It’s not the nicest motel in the world but the great service and price make up for it. The girl working was extremely helpful, and friendly. She recommended a fantastic place to get food. There’s also a 24 hour Denny’s next door, a mexican restaurant, a liquor store (it closes early) and a couple gas stations close by to buy snacks, beer, etc. The only real issues we had were that the wifi didn’t work and they didn’t supply the little bottles of shampoo or conditioner. Overall the experience was great and I’ll definitely be back.

My 3 day stay at Motel 6, Schiller Park was highly satisfactory. There were no hassles in the booking. The house keeping was prompt and neat. And the location was convenient for the price, and has a decent Denny’s close by.
A special mention to the front desk and the manager: I had left behind some photos in the room. They called me up to check if I still needed it and even mailed it to my place free of charge. This made my day :)

This motel is ¼ the price of anything within a mile of the Donald E Stephens Convention Center.
It’s a great deal. It doesn’t come up on travel sites. You have to go directly to motel 6 website to know about it.
There’s a Denny’s across the parking lot which is super convenient. The neighborhood is decent. It’s easily accessible. Close to Ohare.
I have only one complaint. Smells like a locker room when you walk in. The comforters and the carpet stink. They should take care of that. I’d gladly pay more for the room if they cleaned their carpet and comforter more frequently.
The staff is friendly. Overall it’s a great value for what you pay.

We stayed here because it was close to the airport (we were flying out in the morning) and it was cheap. Well, now I know why it was so cheap! We arrived late at night and the neighborhood did not seem safe at all. As others mentioned, there were lots of people just coming and going. While getting checked in, a group of people came in to ask the lady up front if she knew where they could get some weed. She told them she would give her «friend» a call. So yes! They are dealing out drugs here too! So if you’re staying here and you feel like smoking some weed, just head on down to the front desk and ask for it. Who knows, you might get lucky and they’ll call their «friend» to come sell you some.
The room was small and clean enough. But then the room had poor lighting and I have bad vision too so who knows, it could have been dirty and I wouldn’t notice. My only complaint about the room was the lack of outlets. There was one by the bathroom sink and one behind the TV. We had to take turns charging our phones and tablets.
And also, when you leave the room, make sure that the door is closed all the way and locked. My brother-​in-​law left to grab something from the car without grabbing the card key. He left for a bit and when he came back, he opened up the door just fine without using a key. After that, we made sure to test the door whenever anyone left.

Dont come here. Went here for a convention. Usual hotels/​motels check-​in is about 11a. I’m greeted with a front desk person that gruffly says no rooms available/​ready until 3 pm. No restroom to use I. The mean time, so I had to rush across a busy street just to use the bathroom… take in mind that I’ve basically been driving for the last 7 hours. The next time I’m in Chicago, I’m definitely not going here! Actually going to call the Hotel chain to get my $ back!

This place is nasty nasty nasty, stayed there this past Saturday and the staff looked to busy having a mini party in the office. Bed was broken, head board was broken off, no one could answer the phone in the office because they were too busy charring. Don’t make the mistake of staying here at all
Nasty nasty nasty

Was first thinking about staying the night at the airport, but found this motel from Unilocal,gave them a call inquiring availability, and 10 mins later I’m in a comfy bed for under 65 bucks! Very basic room with no soap or iron or dryer. But for just the purpose of being able to stay in a bed and a roof above your head at an affordable price, I can’t complain!

What do you expect for 60 bucks a night (with taxes and fees)? Flights cancelled en masse at the airport. Reserved while waiting in line for a taxi. Showed up 10 min later and was headed to my room. They surely didn’t leave the lights on for me (was missing a light bulb), but after a few minutes of flipping every light switch I adapted. Best part was their partnership with a small one man taxi service in the area. They called «their» taxi guy who showed up promptly and took me to the airport for $ 15 (I’d paid $ 25 the night before to get me there). Denny’s next door-​open 24 hrs. Wouldn’t recommend for a vacation for sure, but for a cancelled flight you can’t beat it for a bed and shower.

Needs sound proof rooms

On a Summer festival weekend, you can find a roof over your head in Chicago for around $ 50. I was beginning to worry, but then my old fallback of Motel Six came through for me. Staying near O’Hare is pretty far from the city but the motel is about a mile walk from the Blue Line which runs 24 hours, and a half mile from the Metra, which runs during the week, so you’re not stranded out here.
Either you or I should né happy to have a place to stay that’s affordable but keep in mind Motel Six rooms are very basic. No shampoo, no iron, or flat screen, but you do get free parking, hot water, climate control, and there’s a Denny’s right next door. Oh and dogs are allowed at all Motel Six’s which is incredible.
Annoyances are having to pay for Wifi that’s so slow it’s difficult to stream a movie, and airplanes taking off sometimes makes the room shake.

Room was clean but smelled like smoke. Not surprising given the deterrent system of an ash tray turned upside down with a no smoking sign on it, yeah that works.
Door had a crack under it ¾ of an inch. See pics. Thinking in a Chicago winter that would be a problem.
All in all it’s the cheapest place I could find close to (very close, planes buzz the rooftop) to ohare.
Like all motel 6 locations. Your not buying the place just sleeping and showering.

FIRST TIME IN LIFE STAYING IN A MOTEL!
Experience: First time I ever stayed in a motel because of an emergency situation. A bad area, really, I cannot recommend it. Rough neighborhood. Didn’t want to walk out at night, this place gives off a horrible vibe. Also I kept getting static electricity here, so BRING SOME RUBBER SHOES IF YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE COMFORTABLY:) super clean rooms and 4 miles away to Chicago O’hare.
Please read: I read another review (not on Unilocal) and this creeped me out! Two people went back in to their room and found LIGHTS, TV, HEATER ON FULL BLAST. NOTHING WAS STOLEN BUT ALL THEIR FOODS WERE OPENED AND HALF EATEN. WTF.
If you stay here, becareful maybe someone will go in to your room and eat your food.
