OMG, I wish I could give this place less than one dot! When we arrived the entry was blocked by some unsavory-looking characters. When we got inside, the place was packed for a girl's 15-year party. The loud music continued from the ballroom until 1:30 am...somehow they managed to punctuate the beat of the music with a car horn. Then at 5 am someone managed to set off the sprinkler system in their room....water flooded the hallway, the fire alarm rang, and the fire department came! So much for sleep. The underground parking is great if you happen to be the Addams Family, but is heinous for anyone else. Tearing the place down would improve both the hotel and the neiborhood!

Missed my connecting flight back to Tokyo. Asked the O'hare info desk to find me a nearby affordable place until the flight next day. I paid around $46 for that night. Jeff (the van driver) picked me up from the airport. I checked in with no problem and went to my "humble" but clean room. Everything was better than I expected although Jeff introduced himself and asked for a tip every time I saw him, I didn't dare not sparing the small cash...I have stayed in hotels in US $200-300/night yet not getting what I expected. These were what I cared for at that moment and was given: comfortable bed for one-night and shower, free transportation to airport and also commuter station, wireless internet access and a simple good breakfast.

However, I agree the area is a little scary and the staff could be more polite. I can assure you get what you pay for, at least here.

The negatives first - the hotel is varying states of repair, is in a fairly grim location and there is some considerable airport and road noise.
Now the positives. Needing a few nights accomodation in Chicago, it was extremely easy to find driving in a hire car from the airport late in the evening. We booked on Expedia and got a room accomodating 3 for 30GBP per night (room rate). Complimentary breakfast (pretty good) and wireless internet included. The reception staff were helpful and courteous.
The rooms were big and clean, if in need of some repairs.
There is a basement car park.
While the hotel corridors are very shabby and the rooms in need of some redecoration - helpful staff, clean rooms and an excellent rate made it a good value stopover.

Close to O hare airport - big room that was very clean. Motel itself is looking a little rundown and the breakfast is mainly sugar and caffeine. for the money it was a great deal. They have a shuttle to and from the airport where you can catch the train into downtown. No restaurants nearby except junk food. Overall, its what you expect at a Super 8.
