The staff were polite but be prepared to put down a $100 deposit which I was NOT aware of. Was told it would be put back on my card in about a week... The property was clean but worn down and worn out. Not much room in the parking lot. And the walls are paper thin so you could hear noisy neighbors having conversations at 1 am in the morning. It was an ok stay I guess.

The TV didn’t work, there was a closet with no rack, just an empty closet, no hand soap only a small bottle of shampoo, no hair dryer. The bed was fine but there were burn holes in the blanket which was just a sheet and a duvet COVER, no actual comforter. This was insanely disappointing for what I paid. Absolutely terrible, I wouldn’t suggest this to my worst enemy

It has been many years since I had a room with no mini refrigerator or microwave! Room was clean except for bathroom door that had dirty fingerprint smudges. No extra blankets provided and sheet was so short it barely made it up to my chest. Card slot to open door was so broken that I had to make 3 trips to lobby to get the card to open the door. And the clerk acted annoyed because I was bothering him! How about me-up and down the stairs 3 extra times? Could be a decent place if owner would spend some money.

Customer Service does not exist at this location—nor with Hotels.com. Booked through hotels.com—no indication on their page that the minimum check in age is 21. The only indication of this was in the confirmation e-mail sent. The issue is it was a same day booking with no cancellation refund. When my employee showed up to check in, he was seemingly going to be allowed to check in. The desk staff unhappily sent me an authorization form for incidentals to be charged to our company CC. The next call was from our employee that they were not allowing him to stay. They asked his age and he was met with a 21+ policy. He was essentially stranded until we could find a hotel that allowed under 21. In all of the work trips to Chicago, NY, KY, FL and so on, we have never been met with this issue or the unsatisfactory customer service. The hotel said they would cancel on their side so a refund could be processed. They did not and refuse to do so now. They have taken the $177+ with no resolve alongside Hotels.com (who is essentially at the mercy of this property).
Shame on me for depending on Hotels.com to display correct information and shame on me for not going to the properties official webpage for their rules.

I checked in. Waited for the receptionist. I got checked in and provided my credit card. I was assigned to room #2. I requested the first floor because I was traveling with someone that was handicap. At first I couldn't open the door, so I went back to the front desk and was told to tried harder, to move the handle up and down,so I went back and did what I was told but a male came out and asked what I want. I showed him the sleve of my key that showed room #2. (Thursday May 7) I went back to the front desk and had to wait a long time because there were people checking in or asking question. The receptionist searched for another room but there was nothing available and he told me that there was not going to be charges. I asked for the docs I signed and the guy, the receptionist tore the papers in front of me and he said there is not charge because I didn't get a room. I left believing that I was not going to get charges. To my surprised I did. I contacted hotels.com via chat and on the phone. The hotel keeps on twlling them that I will not get my refund because I checked in, and they have a copy of my ID and credit card.... first of all they should not have a copy of my credit card and 2nd the receptionist had to made extra copies because what the hell he tored in front of me. Any how. I will never ever stayed there, they overbooked and they charged you the full stayed, in additional they can give you a room where someoneelse is staying, no a safe hotel.

The rooms are infested with ants in the bathrooms and some in the front of the hotel. No microwaves and they dont have a phone number thay works so you can call the front desk. Thats not professional at all. I recommend only staying here if you have no choice. They went inside my room before checkout just because they didn't see me. Not professional at all. The front desk staff was fine amd helpful. But you have to put 100$ refundable deposit down which i didn't know until I arrived as I booked through Expedia. I would not stay there again. Good luck!

I just needed a room for the night to be closer to an event that I was attending at Loyola. For that, the room was perfect. I would also like to shout out to the help I received from the woman that worked earlier on Tuesday and Michael, the night manager. Both were extremely helpful and kind. A couple notes to management on Room 7: the table is about to collapse. If I wasn't so tired, I would have pulled out a toolset and tighten up the bolts. One leg looks to be damaged and may not be repairable. The bathroom is made in such a way that the shower is not separate. Any water in the backend of the shower will drain, however there appears to be no pitch on the bathroom side and the water pools up to the toilet, and if you want to use the sink, you risk tracking water all over the room. I would suggest providing a squee-gee to push that water to the drain. Also, the mirror is really low, and I am of average height and it was pretty unusable. I had to sit on a chair in the room in front of the 5 ft mirror standing in the corner. Also, there is no light above the mirror in the bathroom, so all you see is in shadow.

All in all, it was exactly what I needed and I worked around the issues. Thanks

Firstly, we were locked out of our room around midnight. When calling, the line went straight to a dead end, non-working phone line. When going into the office area, NOBODY was there to help. I stayed in there about 20 minutes, nobody in sight. Another 20 or so minutes go by, I go back into the office and FINALLY someone comes out and has the audacity to be rude and short with me. So, do yourself a favor and just pay the extra money to get somewhere a bit nicer. Awful experience. In addition, the room was dirty in all corners of the room, gunky dirt on the ground. Only one working outlet and it was in the bathroom. The TV had one random channel on it that only played infomercials. Horrible experience.

The person at the front desk said I would get a refund for the booking. When I thought about it, I understood this development as a blessing in disguise. I was very happy with the next place I stayed. Will never entertain another stay in a Rodeway Inn. I am still waiting for the refund ($179.64) and refund of the deposit ($60).

The place wasn’t too bad. I did not have high expectations or anything of the sort. One thing that was odd there’s no phones in the rooms. But me and a friend booked the room because we went to the city for a concert. Didn’t want to have to drive back really late, so we just had the hotel to sleep in one night and we left long before checkout so it was OK. It wasn’t anything like the review reviews online. The reviews online were horrible and it was not that bad.

The walls were even yellow from cigarette smoke. Then again what do you expect for $100 a night. I got my deposit back thankfully. It was very close to the train, bus stops, some dining and shopping. In a very nice little area. I would stay again till they did something about the cigarette smoke smell.

Only good for the price, that's it.

I can't say many good things about this facility. But to be fair, the cost effectiveness is really high. One of the cheapest hotels in Chicago. I would stay here for this reason only. If you don't need to save money I would not recommend you to stay here. Not very clean place. The isolation between rooms are very weak. You have the possibility to listen to other rooms all night long. The street creates too much noise. To have a couch was good though. Free parking was another \"plus\". No hairdryer or microwave in the rooms.
