Rodeway Inn Chicago-Evanston

Barbara is an excellent office manager. Housekeeper is excellent, keeping things cleaner than many more expensive hotels. There was always someone at the desk if needed. There are no bugs! The shower has good pressure and nice hot water. The fridge and microwave help a lot. The place was quiet. The location is convenient.

There are no hooks or rods at all, so hanging clothing requires creativity. Surfaces are limited. There was no chair in my room. There are no shelves in the shower, so soap and shampoo go on the floor. The key cards were glitchy; mine had to be reprogrammed repeatedly (but thankfully there was always someone at the desk to do that).

I needed a place to stay for a night on the north side of Chicago, and the budget was pretty tight. I spend hours looking on airbnb and communicating with different hosts. The responses were mostly, "street parking and make sure you don't wake up my grandmother". Long story short I took a gamble on Rodeway Inn and it paid off. The room was clean, neat and comfortable. The towels were nice and the bed was more than acceptable. The room was small, but had a TV, table with chairs, king size bed, a microwave, fridge and coffee maker. Check in was super easy and the parking was FREE. Wifi is also free (I didn't use it). It's walking distance to Panera and Starbucks. It's about halfway between Lake Shore Drive and the Edens Expressway, so getting anywhere is pretty easy. Lou Malnati's - the best pizza in the history of pizza - is minutes away.

Two small things: A shelf in the bathroom near the sink to put lotions, potions and toothpaste. There was no place to hang up clothes and no hangers to hang them on.

Great location, value, clean. Other guests at property were not partiers or belligerent, as sometimes happens at value-based accommodations in Chicago. I liked that the rooms were grouped into only 4 per building which helped quietness.

Parking is a little cramped.

Easy parking, security cameras, friendly staff, easy access to bus line, within walking distance of food and shopping.

The water did not stay cold, there wasn't much space on the knob for how cold I wanted the shower. The water did get incredibly warm. Very good for people that like hot showers! Only other things would be that the showerhead was a little leaky and I did not see a "do not disturb" or "no housekeeping" sign.

Everything. It was so clean and cozy. Staff was very friendly. It took about a minute to get booked into our room. 10/10 would stay here again

The only tiny little thing I would say is that there was no little shelf in the shower to place shampoo and stuff. But that's nothing compared to how great our stay was here :)

The Cleanliness and it is in the heart of city

At the Chek-in time they have debited as security deposit USD100 from my card which was not informed us during the booking. Need the Breakfast to be included with booking. Required Micro Oven in the room to heat up the Food

Location is close to restaurants Rooms were clean Guy the that checked us in was friendly and helpful with any questions we had Parking was easy getting in and out I will definitely stay again

The bed was hard and pillows weren't the best The lady working Saturday morning wasn't friendly.

Super quiet; friendly staff; and great room/accommodations for the price

I booked through a third party app and was not made aware that I would be required to put a deposit down on the room

The room was clean. It was a good place to sleep. The money that I saved vs a luxury motel place went towards a baseball game at Guaranteed Rate stadium that night. Sleep cheap, have money for other Chicago activities.

No complaints

It exceeded my expectations, room I stayed in was exceptional.

Arrived later in evening 11p.m. Told my debit card had been declined. It was incorrect, still had my canceled card on file. But it gave me a scare since I had prepaid and thought I was good to go when I checked in.
