I have never tried to check in and have to dial someone to show up. He then gives me a room key, tells me it might not work, and when we get to the room, it actually does not. Now I had to call him again just to get into the room. Burned out bulbs in the room and nowhere bedside to plug in a phone to charge. Shameful inn!

Price is the #1 reason to stay here. I arrived after dinner and left before breakfast. In that case it is hard to find a better place: quiet, and bed was decent Would not recommend if you plan to spend extended time in the room. Decor was outdated, cleanliness OK.

Creepy and Unclean
The hotel rooms are not very clean. The shower didn’t work at all. Water was coming in the sink only - and it was cold water only. The manager opened a different room for shower where hot water was coming but those room conditions were pathetic.

The place smelt moldy with the room having old and dirty furnishings. There were no dining facilities. No soda/water machines/the elevator was out of service. Personally, I was told by friends in the area that they would never tell anyone to stay there, Never going there again

Mold
The bathroom paint was peeling with mold underneath. A nasty looking stain on a chair in the room. This was my second time using the motel. This time, the room did not smell of smoke like last time. So, better. I picked the location purely for convenience. I only needed the room for a bed and shower. It satisfies that.

My latest stay in Barrington, Il.
The check-in was excellent, as always. The rooms are clean but very dated. However, while attempting to move our luggage up to our room, I discovered the elevator isn't working. Had to lug it all up the stairs. The manager did apologize later and offered to help however we were already done. When attempting to connect to the internet I found that it was not working in our room or even in the hallway. We had no internet for 2 days before someone came out to fix it. .Management did let me use the front office internet. Latter that evening went to get ice and found that the ice machine isn't working either. Management did give me an ice try to make my own. and was very helpful in getting work arounds for these issues however they shouldn't have occurred. All these things need to be watched by management and kept in good working order.

Pictures online looked nice, but looks can be deceiving. Property was old, run down. Parking was limited. Room smelled of stale cigarettes and not very clean. Burn spots on the carpet where previous occupants had dropped cigarettes prior to the the no smoking rules went into effect. AC blew nasty smelling air into room all night long. Bathtub area was not very clean. Towels were very old and thin. The best part of the experience was the desk clerk who when out of his way to help this senior couple get safely into their room, offering to help with luggage, etc. When arriving back from our evening event, parking was scarce. The desk clerk met us in the parking lot to help find us a parking spot and escorted me to my room, making sure I didn't trip on uneven walk-ways. I walk with a cane. 5 stars for the clerk; 2 stars for the property.

The hotel was as advertised - it's an older hotel well-maintained and clean, which is great if you want a cheap bed in the middle of suburbia. Right on the Northwestern Highway. Great for what I needed, but not a destination in itself.

Horrible! Outside looks nothing like photo posted on site. Old, run down. Dirty inside. Stains on carpet, chair, walls, shower. Walked on towels as to not touch carpet. Hair dryer didn't work and toilet didn't flush. Surprisingly bed was ok. Don't stay here!

Good location. Old building. Musty smell in hallway but no odor in room itself. Room safe disabled. Would have been nice if functional to put money and computer in. elevator not working but not a problem for a 2 story. Friendly staff.
