    I was forced to vacate the unit due to credible death threats made against me by an occupant living next door. The property manager was notified of the situation. Prior to my departure, the neighboring occupant physically assaulted both me and my service dog. Due to concerns for my safety and wellbeing, I had no choice but to leave the premises

    I got what I paid for. Loud annoying neighbors with kid crying and dog barking. A fire alarm that went off constantly thru the night. No extras in room you might find in other places like coffee, hair dryer, iron, microwave, refrigerator. Also, had to go outside to another building just to get ice. Next time will pay few dollars more and stay somewhere else.

    Please do NOT get a room here. No matter how cheap it is. It looks horrible from the outside and on the inside. There is no elevator. Bedding had burn marks all over it so did the chair and everything else there. I let management know and they told me they asked “what did you expect? You ordered a smoking room.” The hallway also smelled like smoke and very loud in the hallway. I would NOT suggest this location. The manager barely wanted to refund me.

    Guy at front desk has a really bad attitude and hates doing his job. He threatened to not let me check in and not give me a refund. Also said he would jump over the counter if I rang the bell one more time (I walked in and there was a sign saying “be back in 15”) I don’t know how long that was there for before I got there. He got mad and was unimaginably rude.

    There was nothing great about this motel. Its outdate had issues getting back into room. The area is shady not enough restaurants near by. The bed are crappy rooms r very small they give you throw size pillows. Comforter is uncomfortable shower is set up for people 5' or smaller. Would not recommend this motel for any stay. It is good for a dog motel because there are plenty of dogs in rooms barking as you walk by.

    It smelled like cigarette smoke and urine. There were adult men screaming at the top of their lungs into the night and early morning. It appears that people live there. There was bullet proof glass at the front counter and "we are not responsible for stollen items" signs everywhere! I felt unsafe and DO NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

    My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Motel 6 Palatine, IL - Chicago Northwest due to being out late and in need of a place to stay for the night. The highlight of our stay was the friendly and personable front desk clerk. However, we were disappointed by the overall environment of the motel. The hallways had an unpleasant odor, and we found hairs on the sheets. This prompted us to purchase Lysol spray from Walgreens in order to sanitize the bedding and the entire room before we felt comfortable enough to sleep. Unfortunately, this experience has left us with a negative impression, and we do not plan on returning to this establishment in the future.

    It was what I would expect from an inexpensive motel (based on today's inflated prices). I was surprised that they did not even have shampoo, but the service and cleanliness were fine and coffee was provided in the lobby in the morning. The motel seemed to have an "institutional" feel to it, mostly due to its age.

    When we arrived the check in was terrible. She was very rude. Asking us why we were ringing the doorbell. Well she wasnt at the counter and we were trying to check in. My wife and i were dressed nice it was a beautiful sunny 70 something degree day, we traveled from out of town to go to an event and the lady was very rude again and said oh so you guys think this weather is going to stay this way? I was taken back. We were enjoying the day and trying to enjoy our time which was ruined right away. Not inviting at all. She sould not be allowed to talk to guest's that way. Shes the first person to greet the guests and she was very IGNORANT! Theres much more which i will be contacting the proper personal accordingly.

    My stay was just OK maybe. I didn't get into my room until around 11PM and was woken up by the cleaning lady pounding on my door asking to conduct her room service at 9AM. Check out is not until 11AM . In my opinion I paid for a 24 hour visit inside a room not why I was not granted privacy for the short time I was actually in the room.

    I liked my room. Clean. The bathroom sink was clogged. Room next to exit door. People coming in/out Laughing/talking loudly. Above my room noisy customer making loud noises between 2-3 a.m. Friendly female front desk employee. Helpful employee. Motel exterior is a dump. Period. Homeless people hanging around outside/near hotel/parking lot (including a family with children). Sections of parking lot NOT well lit. What did I like: Motel 6 was near restaurants, shopping, expressway and grocery stores.

    We reserved a room with a queen bed, however we were given a room with a full bed instead. When we went to the office to request a room with a queen bed, the girl said she needed to call her boss. Once on the phone, her boss said, all rooms have a queen bed. NOT true, I have a queen bed and knew that we were stuck in a full size bed for two for two nights.

    This Motel 6 was close to friends in the area and low-priced. The lobby area had bullet-proof glass, locked doors and no seating, so it could have been more welcoming. Still I'm satisfied overall.
