Here’s the revised version:

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The room was in poor condition and did not feel clean or well maintained. The property itself also didn’t feel safe, especially around the exterior, which made me uncomfortable during my stay. The biggest disappointment was management. When an issue came up, they were unwilling to listen, took no accountability, and made no effort to resolve the situation professionally. Instead of working toward a fair solution, they refused to provide a refund. I understand that problems can happen at any hotel, but how they’re handled makes all the difference. Unfortunately, this experience fell well below expectations, and I would not recommend staying here.

Ventilation is a big issue, those sensitive to the weight of the air can detect the strong orders coming from the floor, and beds.

Difficult to breathe fresh air unless the door is wide open. Although The property itself is poorly maintained the staff was kind. Even so it’s annoying to have to go to the main for a new key . Every day. During my week stay surprisingly my key wasn’t working the majority of the time. Trips down to get a new key would often find other Partrons inquiring about a “demagnetised key”.

In regards to cleanliness, the floor, beds and even the vents on appear soiled with the stench of mold. The vents were filthy and poorly maintained it is enough to have you wake each morning with coughing colored flem.

The microwave had a strong smell of cleaning chemicals, as if someone just sprays the inside of it with toxic cleaning spray and leaves it there.

The Wifi was not reliably strong, this is by far the most neglected motel 6 I’ve seen in this state.

Of all places Schaumburg. The good news is the price for a one week stay. Again the staff were truly kind and there seemed to be plenty of staff working daily operations but it doesn't make this place a desirable.

It was so dirty the bathroom was so dirty we didnt want to stand in it so we used the dingy towels. Which got so dirty with one swipe on the floor they were black. Like they don’t clean anything. My ac didn’t work, she changed the room but wanted to check first. I told her I drive 18 hrs to this hotel to relax and she gave me an attitude. She also gave me another nasty room and charge me a deposit for my dog. The pool area is a dump of construction and random tomatoes and corn that they are growing. When while the landscape is un cut and garbage all over the parking lot. Scary and nasty hotel never again!!

Unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing due to the poor condition of the property and the lack of satisfactory customer service. The issues I encountered included:
- The Beds were in very poor condition
and uncomfortable.
- Although the property was advertised as non-smoking, there was a strong cigarette smell throughout the building and in the room.
- The towels appeared unclean and had hair on them, raising serious concerns about the hotels hygiene standards.
- The customer service was poor, and my concerns were not addressed adequately.

The conditions of the hotel did not meet reasonable standards, Front desk and staffing ignored every word you said, and had arguments with everyone stopping at the front desk. Please if you are traveling with Kids DO NOT STAY THERE, its NOT for Families.

Didn’t even provide us water to drink. No breakfast either. Cockroaches in the bathroom, and you can’t lock the bathroom btw. Microwave wasn’t working. Had to switch rooms because of that. But no partial refund provided for the inconvenience, nor any upgrade. Felt unsafe seeing other occupants at the motel.

Only pro of the motel would be it’s price. It’s the cheapest one can get.

Be warned!!! Nothing to do with the property but more of the area of Rolling Meadows! The doors to the rooms are from the exterior and there is some kind of chemical in the air during the nights where the rooms can start to fill up with this chemical smell. I’ve closed the door to the bathroom thinking it was chlorine from the water supply but that is not the case. The bathroom would smell by the AM if you have it closed overnight.

Other than this issue of weird chemical smells at night, my stay was good. Great location! Has an ice skating rink just up the road, quiet area but you have the highway just outside so would depend on where your room is located. The hotel staff are great!

Do an internet search for “weird chemical smells overnight in rolling meadows”. This issue has been happening for over a year without authorities finding a source.

Best of luck to those who work in this area and for the staff + motel guests and residence.

If you need a quick run for your buck and only staying one night, worth it. Like what other reviews say, the building and infrastructure of the place is super old dingy and run down but that’s not the employee’s fault hence I’m not holding it against them. The motel inside itself was actually quite nice. JUST MAKE SURE YOU BOOK THE ROOM THAT HAS MICROWAVE & FRIDGE (Took me awhile to figure out that it’s listed differently). Amenities very good, elevator old but working, bed comfy, blanket actually thick enough, strong ac, fridge cold, microwave hot. Me very happy, compared to the prospect location one that doesn’t have that.

Neighborhood is super safe driving around and walking around etc.!!! Unfortunately, we did get noisy next room neighbors, violently pounding at 1am cause they got mad for getting locked out so prepare for that possibility.

No shower amenities, but its a motel6 what do you expect. I won’t dock a point for that. Things to note, hella sketchy people frequently loitering parking grounds but if you keep to yourself you should be ok. Hotel is decent, staff is nice, rooms are clean, just unfortunate it attracts loud groups of people so I don’t recommend for the elderly.

One of the better run Motel 6 in Chicagoland area - rooms well maintained to high level of cleanliness and overall the property seems well managed and operated. Housekeeping actually show up and clean the room during your stay - staff are professional and honest. Expectations were exceeded at this location - so well done to all involved.

They kept my deposit because \"the room was messy\" which seems criminal to me. I don't travel with a mop, and its not like they have garbage cans for you to use (they do but you can only put small items in them, if they're not already full). I was there for two weeks, and there's no microwave on the whole property, so sometimes when id make food id leave a little mess, but I cleaned as much as I could before I left. There were numerous times my room key stopped working and I needed help from the front desk staff. When I went to the front desk there was no one there and no one was answering the phone so I couldn't get into my room for like 20 minutes. This was like 10pm I dont know why there was no one there. But the worst part is the attitude of the staff. If you dare complain about any of the horrible things going on at the hotel they will make you feel like you have no right to complain or be upset. I dont have a place of my own right now so things are tough, and I currently have no money to my name and motel 6 is keeping my $60 because they didnt feel like cleaning or whatever BS excuse they wanna give to justify stealing. Trust me, stay somewhere else

The rooms smelled heavily of cigarette smoke, and the doors felt extremely unsafe even when locked. The bathrooms kept clogging, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. The staff was rude and completely unwelcoming, showing little to no concern for guests. The entire building looked poorly maintained and in bad condition. On top of that, the bed sheets were dirty and had blood stains and other suspicious marks on them, which was honestly disgusting and unacceptable.

What was supposed to be a relaxing stay turned into a stressful and unpleasant experience. If you’re looking for a clean, safe, and comfortable place to rest and enjoy your trip, I strongly do NOT recommend staying here.

i've stayed at hotels that were $30 more a night that were filthy and disgusting. Motel 6 is not anything fancy but for the cheap rate it's worth it. However I noticed this recent time, there were more straglers at the location. since the last time I was there they're bedding is a lot better - super soft and way better pillows! (although I don't like the bed pushed against the wall. I just automatically freak out that there's gonna be bugs crawling on me! The AC/heat unit was too loud for me to run all night so I had to turn it off! they really do need to invest in New ac/heat units in the room! (but at least it did not smell!) TV size is OK it had white round burn marks from the bulbs on the screen affected the TV watching a little bit but nothing major as long as I can see what I was watching I'm OK. microwave and small fridge was sufficient for my trip. anyhow this is my go to place because of price point and location when I go home to visit.

Keep in mind this is a Motel 6, so you should have aligned expectations. However, that also doesn't need to be negative. Our experience was just fine. We stayed overnight since it was closer for us to fly out from ORD early the next morning. The location was handy, check in was quick, front desk was friendly and kind, the beds were comfortable, parking and area seemed safe, and the room was spotless. Is it an older building? Yes. Does it have elevators? No, so don't expect that you are guaranteed a first floor if you can't do stairs. Would stay there again.

My car was stolen from this parking lot three days ago along with contents of mine and family members. I had cash, all of the clothes that aren't on my back and everything else needed for a road trip. The clerk said he watched it happen on the monitor but didn't bother to alert me when my handicapped pass and room number were on the dashboard. I'm still here, the manager still has yet to even speak with me. Three entire days and nights!? As far as I'm concerned these people had my car stolen. Why else would they still not be doing anything about it??? Please help!

Another $20 I would have got a whole night ..The bed was comfortable..but noticed a smoke burn in the sheet later.The shower was very tight close corner no room to move.The shower style was like something you would see in an RV. There was nowhere to put any of your shower products. The water pressure was great.. my room did not have a microwave or refrigerator that cost extra which I didn't pay attention when I was booking the room The security lock on the door was a little funny. You had to play with it for a while in order for it to work also the TV had something going on with it. I attached a picture so you can see what I'm talking about had dots in it
