My husband and I found this hotel through a travel site, it was listed as a comfort inn and with a different picture, imagine my disgust when the address led us to this!! From the time we walked in I wanted to leave. We got to our room and although we were very tired I refused to take off my clothes or shoes, I wanted to be ready to run! I didn't have a choice but to use the restroom and when I did, arrrgh, I closed the door and could only imagine what was all over the wall behind it, dripping down. That was it, We checked out and went straight to the airport and got the soonest flight out. When we returned home we called the travel sight and complained, amazingliy this hotel was no longer on their site. We were give a discount on our next travel arrangements through them, not likely! Too bad I couldn't rate this hotel in the negative!

When I arrived at the nearby airport and called for a ride, the gentleman that came for me was prompt and courteous. He was not only the courtesy driver, but also the front desk manager and provided quality service in the busy motel that evening. The morning person provided misinformation to private driver the following day, as I entered the lobby she told driver there was no one there by my name.

I read a lot of reviews of this place that were bad, but it still had 4 1/2 stars so I figured i must just be reading the bad ones. The pictures showed an older remodled motel, that looked ok. The amenities included free wi-fi, free contentinal breakfast and a jaccuzi. When I got there, It was in the middle of what looked to be a bad neighborhood. Thugs hanging out on the corner and such. The outside of the motel looked run down, the inside was jsut as bad, rundown. I had already pre reserved my room and had a no cancelation policy so I was stuck with the room. The room itself had filthy carpets, I wore my socks the whole time because I was afraid to take them off. I checked the beds for bugs and checked the sheets to see if they were calean and both passed. The bathroom was nothing like the pics on the web. It had granite tiles which looked real nice, but the rest of the bathroom was still a crap hole. I actually wore my socks in the shower cuz i didnt want to be bare foot in the tub.

The room was cold because the outside night temp was 55 degrees, but no heat in the room. I complained and they told me the building heat was not on yet. I guess they only turn it on around november or later. I froze that night. After I got up and got dressed, I had to go take a poop, but I waited until I got to the gas station cuz I would rather sit on a public toilet than on the toilet in that room.

I tried to log on to the internet but couldnt get a signal, I went up front and the guy up front got my computer a signal. but when I carried my laptop back to my room, i lost the signal. I suppose the only free wi-fi is in the looby. The free continentail breakfast turned out to be a box of cheerios, and a couple of peanut butter sandwiches sitting on a plate in the looby, with a gallon jug of milk, with only about 1 pint of milk in it, sitting on the counter at room tempature.

Over all, I was glad I had only booked one night. I would never stay there again.

We went to Chicago on a budget and the Midway Inn fit. Yes, it could have been cleaner and more up to date BUT I didn't go to Chicago to sit in a hotel. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful and the location was great, it's a short walk to the train and bus that will take you downtown in about 15 or 20 min, it's close to the airport... I never felt unsafe. We read the reviews and saw the price, knew what we were getting into so we approached it with a very good attitude and had a really nice time.
