Red Roof Plus Chicago - Willowbrook

Exceptional

Exceptional

Acceptable as “home base” if...

Liked: Didn’t know breakfast was offered but Denny’s was a quick and unobstructed 7-minute walk south along Route 83.
Disliked: Remote did not operate the TV (it may have still been in its “control via smartphone” mode). 3 of the 4 lightbulbs over the bed were burnt out. The room was a bit on the compact side but still navigable.

Bad

I didn't enjoy my stay...

Liked: There were plenty of stores and restaurants around the hotel
Disliked: They need to have signage by the road to identify the hotel and it's driveway. I drove past it twice before I ended up seeing the hotel from a neighboring parking lot. I also didn't like my room being right next to the employee break area and listening to them talking right outside my door at all hours of the day and night. The walls were so thin that at times I could hear exactly what they were saying

Pleasant

Avoid staying unless absolutely necessary

Liked: Location
Disliked: Room was dirty, not enough towels, towels provided had stains as if they were used, half drank Gatorade bottle under the bed, shower curtain and wall had splatter stains, other guests were smoking weed on the balcony.

Bad

Very poor
