Overall good but desperately needs exterminator

This used to be my go-to affordable stay in the Chicago suburbs, however this time was different. Within 48 hours I killed EIGHT roaches. Other than that the stay was pleasant and quiet, and generally clean, and the staff are kind and professional, but I will not be back. Also there was someone sleeping outside on the ground against the back wall of the hotel. As far as the roach problem is concerned, I do not think it is going to be effective for them to just treat individual rooms given the severity of the infestation. They really need to shut the place down for an entire day and fumigate the entire thing and reopen the next day.

You get what you pay for - and it was well worth what we paid. You want amenities you can pay more; but when you are on a budget this is the place - it is clean enough, the staff is helpful enough etc, but do your planning i.e. you need to bring your own shampoo/conditioner/shower cap/plastic bag for your laundry etc, if you need a hairdryer bring one. Bring enough chargers as there are no USB ports. They DO have a couple handicapped accessible rooms with extra space/shower chair etc.

Decent stay

Good stay overall as usual, my first stay on the 3rd floor which was good, upon checking out this morning before heading to work, there was a roach in the bathroom and also a spider on the wall by the sink, not a big deal, not going to make a big fuss about the discovery but other than that was a Good stay.
