The Spotlight on Motel 6-Arlington Heights IL - Chicago North Central

Affordable Comfort Just Outside the Chicago Buzz

Modern and no-frills, Motel 6-Arlington Heights IL - Chicago North Central is a wallet-friendly stay located just north of Chicago in the suburb of Arlington Heights. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and a 24-hour front desk, this 2-star hotel is all about the basics done right. Just 5 miles from O’Hare International Airport and within 25 miles of major venues like Wrigley Field and the United Center, it’s a convenient base for concert-goers looking to stay outside the downtown hustle.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love the easy access to Chicago without the downtown price tag. Being just off the highway and close to the airport makes catching late-night rideshares or Ubers a breeze. The 24-hour front desk is perfect for late check-ins after a show, and the area stays relatively quiet for post-concert wind-downs. Plus, with free WiFi and cable TV, it’s easy to keep the afterparty going—or just chill out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly crash pad near Chicago
  • Solo travelers on a mission to see their favorite artist
  • Couples making a weekend date night of it
  • Fans who need a quiet space to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on merch than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer on-site dining, its central location means you’re just a short drive or walk from casual eateries, fast food, and late-night bites. There’s no breakfast service, so plan ahead if you’re sleeping in after a late show. However, with food delivery apps widely available, satisfying those midnight cravings is easy.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel keeps things low-key on-site, the surrounding area offers a mix of local bars and lounges. If you're heading into Chicago for your concert, you’ll find plenty of post-show spots to keep the night alive—from dive bars to rooftop lounges. Just make sure to plan your ride back, as the hotel is about 20–25 miles from downtown.

What People Say

Guests praise the hotel for being clean, consistent, and super affordable. Many note the friendly front desk staff and the ease of check-in, even late at night. The proximity to O’Hare Airport is a recurring highlight, especially for travelers flying in just for a show. While it’s not fancy, visitors appreciate that it delivers exactly what it promises.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t packed with amenities, and some guests mention a lack of in-room extras like coffee makers or fridges. It’s also a bit of a drive from downtown Chicago venues, so you’ll want to plan transport ahead of time—especially after late-night events.

The Bottom Line

If you’re catching a concert in Chicago and want a clean, quiet, and super affordable place to crash, Motel 6-Arlington Heights IL - Chicago North Central keeps it simple and stress-free.

Decent but wouldn’t stay again

Disappointing

Disliked: The room is $100 a night, which is way overpriced. There is no air conditioning in the lobby or hallways. No breakfast. No soundproofing from the hallways. You will hear everything that is happening outside your room. Dogs shit on the porch right under the feet of the guests and you can step in this shit.

I was in town for...

Liked: The hotel was comfortable and centrally located, which made things more convenient. I had to leave Red Roof Inn due to an odor and woke up with welts on my arm, so this was a much better alternative.
Disliked: There were wet spots in the hallway, and the doors to Area B weren’t secured, which felt like a safety concern. It would’ve been great to see better upkeep in the hallways and more attention to security—especially with external access points. Just a few tweaks would have made the stay feel more secure and polished.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

M6 Arlington Heights

Liked: Staff is good and location is good. Although the room is small, the temp in room, in a heat wave, is comfortable.
Disliked: Where to begin, the mattress is terrible. The edge and mattress overall is worn and should have been rotated. Towels are like sandpaper, shower pressure is weak dueto a faulty valve, no ability to take bath, no drain plug, the value isn't there. Tv remote is worn and the operation doesn't work for all options. $90 a night isn't a value $60 is the most I would pay. Otherwise, due to rhe business trip, cancelation wasn't an option .

Very good

Liked: Very good location. I can feel safety because room key is needed when guests get into the hallway that each room's door face to. My room was clean. Air conditioner and fridge worked well, it was enough for one night stay. It was good for me that coffee and hot water is available in the morning at front area. Thank you!
Disliked: They don't provide shampoo, conditioner, and kleenex. Don't forget to bring your own.
