“OK for what it is”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

After booking this hotel, I read the reviews here and got really worried. What would I find? Bedbugs? Hairs? But in fact the room was perfectly OK for a two-star establishment. It was clean and it had everything you would expect - basic TV, bathroom amenities, iron&coffee etc. It was all quite basic (not gonna find CNBC on the TV and no they don't serve breakfast on premises) and rough around the corners but perfectly adequate for what you pay. The linens on my bed were not ironed when I arrived and I thought that was weird for a hotel, although they appeared clean to me. No room cleaning if you stay under a week. A "full kitchen" means some pretty basic kitchenware, stove top and microwave. Also, beware that the front door closes at 11PM (you can enter with your room key). If relevant for you, public transportation options are decent unless it's very late.

“4 Rooms of DISGUST”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

Before checking in we had to wait 20 minutes for the receptionist to finish her lunch. Then, she told us that our room was not ready because the people that stayed there before us had been there for two weeks and it needed major cleaning. She said she would call my cell phone when the room was ready. This never happened. When we returned to the hotel after 9 p.m. there was another sign that read "we'll be back in 5 minutes.". When we received our keys we found a room with a broken toilet, 4 blood stains on the carpet, a broken window, hair pins on the floor, a dirty refrigerator, and the stench of fried food. We were told we could have another room, or the key to a room on a different floor so we could use that bathroom during the night. After we told the receptionist we would not be sleeping in our room, we were offered two other rooms. One smelled like a nightclub and the other room smelled like deodorant. We took the room with the deodorant smell only to find animal poop under the bed. At this point we left, our friend spent the night in his room on his stained mattress because he was unable to get his money back. This is the worst place I have ever stayed!

“It would have been nice.. if i didnt find hairs between the sheets”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The location is great, not too too far from downtown. Whats wonderful is that there is free parking and a ruby tuesday in the hotel next door. The kitchen was clean, ample dishes and large stove and fridge. Everything was adequate... except for the fact that my sheets were not changed .. i dont think. Couldnt have been, why else would i find strange hairs between my sheets, and my sister found a round brown spot on hers after rolling down the comforter.
makes me wonder if the carpet was at all vaccumed. or the bathroom disinfected.

So to aid the next guest. I totally stripped the bedsheets and pillow cases.. and threw them in the corner. NOT going to let house keeping take the easy road and just remake the bed with dirty sheets.
I paid $52 with priceline for this 2 star hotel.. I wish I would have paid less.

“Extended Stay Hotel in Skokie is a dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2010

We stayed in room 112 and it was horrible! The moment we walked in, the smell of fried fish permeated the air. The air conditioner was on high cool, full blast and it on felt like a fan. We had to run the water for at least 10 minutes to get the water warm enough to take a shower and even then it was just above lukewarm at best. The pillows were old and used and abused. They were flat and lumpy. The bed was hard and old. It was a bed you would buy at a discount mattress store. There was only about a quarter of a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. This is the worste hotel we have ever stayed at and will never stay here again!

“Dirty & had bed bugs!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2009

We stayed in room 310. My daughter was woke in the night and said there was a bug in her bed. We captured the bug, wraped it in a tissue & put it under a bowl. A few hours later I woke and saw another bug on her bed. It may have been the same bug because we didn't find the one in tissue under the bowl so it escaped. We got up and left in a hurry leaving the 2nd bed bug under a glass on the counter for the hotel manager. Because we left so early there wasn't staff on duty but the manager has been informed.
There was mold in the bathroom. The floors had "debris" left on them. The carpet and chair were stained and dirty. One pillow had the case on inside out. That made us wonder if it was just turned inside out rather than cleaned. The kitchen area looked clean.
