“Scariest Place I have ever been”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

I can not believe that Days Inn doesn't condem the place to protect their name. Rooms looked to be in the condition of an abandoned home, nothing was safe and when I told the front desk that there were problems, she asked if I would like to check out.

The breakfast did include waffles....the frozen kind out of a box that after they were thawed and sitting out for 3 hours they put back into the box and into the freezer.

My safe was not even bolted to anything, just laying on the floor. My shower had no pressure if hot water, only cold. I had a business associate staying there as well and I had to kick the door multiple times in order for the regular door latch to release in order for her to get out of her room. She called the front desk but after 10 minutes they still had not come to her room so she called me.

What a dump!

Travel Advantage also said they were giving me the best rate, when complaining about my room the person took a call and quoted rates over the phone that were $30.00 lower than what I was paying, I asked how that can be and the lady said she would give me $10.00 off the room. TA was also going to give me a $30 rebate for my stay and today when I cancelled my trial membership, they informed me that I will not get the rebate now.

“Nasty Nasty Nasty!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2007

person found this review helpful

I was put in this hotel by American Airlines at 11:00 at night. I have never been so scared in my life. The place had a stinch unlike any other and needs to be torn down. They also charged me an additional $10 to have a non-smoking room and called it an upgrade fee. The airport chair would have been an upgrade. After I was told the shuttle could not take me back the airport I went to my room with no other options and put towels on everything! to lay down. I slept for two or so hours with both locks and a chair in front of the door. Every review you are reading other than mine is true. This was the most frightening thing I have ever been through in my life do not stay there!

Stayed August 2007

“It is really a dump!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2007

person found this review helpful

This hotel is horrible!!
We actually only booked it because the good rates we got for the hotel we were in, didn't apply for that day, and we needed a hotel close to the airport for our last day in Chicago.
It started bad, checking in was an awful experience. The man who I spoke to, was rude, unpolite and not willing to help at all. I tried to ignore this, it was my last day in Chicago anyways, we only needed a place to sleep.
The room was a dump!! really dirty and unhygienic. The maintenace of that place is zero.
Well, sometimes is worth to pay a little bit more to avoid this type of stuff.

please avoid,lets start with the airport shuttle(a joke)you phone and they tell you on the hour every hour at zone 3,what they do not tell you to do is to look for the Super8 van from the same road it serves both motels,they suppose to be renovating the place but after finding all the creepy-crawlies in the bathroom the place needs pulling down and concreting over, i just wish i had read the other reviews.

“Wow!!!!”

I didn't know something like this could really exist. The only reason I can see for it existing is that Chicago is SO expensive, that to get a room at an affordable price you have to sleep in a place like this.

The staff was not rude, but the place was just too dirty. The carpet seemed to be coated in a layer of dust/dirt. It was actually "crunchy" in places. No way you're going to walk on this carpet with bare feet. The ceiling was stained; the walls and doors were stained; the matress had blood stains. There was no peep hole device in the door, just an open hole. Anyone could look in the room and watch you!

  • Liked — Near airport
  • Disliked — Cleanliness
  • Tips/Secrets — You just have to pay more for a clean room. Don't stay here.
