What guests think

Reviews of Red Roof Inn Morton Grove portray a budget, no-frills motel with very mixed experiences, noting occasional quiet, comfortable stays but also recurring cleanliness problems, significant maintenance issues, and intermittent noise or safety concerns reported by other guests.

Many reports cite dirty bathrooms, stained linens, odors, mold, and nonworking amenities like TVs or Wi-Fi, while a few note clean rooms and decent value for the price. Rooms feel dated and inconsistently maintained, with motion-sensor lighting and loud A/C bothering some, and parking can be tight with no elevator. Service ranges from very friendly to unresponsive, and housekeeping is often by request with mixed follow-through. Expect a basic, low-cost stay with widely variable conditions.

Overall the facilities were very poor, there was no elevator and we arrived with luggage. The bathroom in the room was potentially dangerous, the bathtub was lower than the floor in the bathroom, and the shower had very low water pressure and did not get hot no matter how long it ran for. The towels on the room had large stains. The surrounding area did not make us feel comfortable and the blinds in the room did not close all the way. We also could not see through the peep hole making us feel uncomfortable. The staff were generally helpful but seemed confused by some of our questions.

Parking is limited. The same paint is still on the floor of the room from 10 years ago. I know this because I stayed in this exact hotel room 10 years ago. Could not close the curtains. Curtains were broken and in disrepair. Absolutely no upkeep on this property or hotel rooms. I realize it is a cheap motel room, but if you cant even clean up a paint spill in the last ten years, then you atent getting anymore of my business. And ...it took 20 minutes for hot water to come out of the showerhead.

Certainly! Here's a more concise version of the review, limited to 1500 characters: --- **Terrible Experience – Not Worth the Stay** This was one of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever had. Room service is only available if you call before 10 AM—but no one tells you that at check-in. The staff was unhelpful and made no effort to explain the rules or offer assistance. The room itself was in poor condition: the sink was cracked, the mirror was broken, and the bathtub was dirty. The A/C made a loud, rattling noise all night, making it impossible to sleep peacefully. To make things worse, our neighbors were talking loudly through the night, and no staff stepped in to address the disturbance. The hotel lacks an elevator, so carrying luggage up the stairs was frustrating. Parking was also a nightmare—the spots are so tight, it’s almost impossible to park without stress. The location isn’t great either; it’s far from the freeway, so getting in and out takes time. Adding to the discomfort, a flickering exterior light right outside our window kept blinking all night, and no one seemed to care about fixing it. Overall, this place feels neglected and poorly managed. Between the lack of communication, terrible maintenance, and overall discomfort, I would not recommend staying here to anyone. Definitely not worth the price.

If you're looking to be moderately comfy and save some money, I'd reccomend the place. The staff were kind, the area was nice (a lot of Korean Food), and the condition was agreeable overall. It's a 3/5 because the room was pretty dusty, the parking lot is tight, and the bathroom area was small and dingy. The bed was lumpy too.

I only paid about $50 a night and it was worth it. They have an indoor pool which wad just been painted and they were refilling it. Didn't have a chance to enjoy it but it looked like it was in good shape. Maybe that's why the room was so cheap. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean. There were no stoppers for the sink or bathtub, I guess to keep folks from creating overflowing water issues.

Check in staff essentially kept asking me to give her cash for the deposit, and I kept asking her if I could pay via card or have my card on file charged. I ended up having to use the ATM (aka pay $5 fee) to pull out cash for this deposit. Not to mention, the facility was ghetto and we had noisy neighbors. Overall not impressed. If you need a spot to sleep in a pinch, it’s fine—but not a nice stay otherwise.

Saw 2 different types of bugs. One on the floor and one on the sink My white socks turned black from the floors. TV didn't work. I checked in at 8pm and maintenance wouldn't be available until the following morning. When i walked to the room after checking in, the room door was cracked open. Went back to say something and i was told housekeeping left it open on purpose. Unplugged tv and tried different outlet and it worked Towels very very thin. I know what to expect when booking a cheap motel room. However, the standards set at this location have been dropped to a level of "who gives a F***".

⭐ If I could give zero stars, I would. This was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had—and I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels. The first room they gave us had a headboard literally falling off the wall, the whole room felt filthy, and the stench of cigarette smoke was so intense it hit us before we even stepped inside. I have a lung condition and severe smoke allergies, and this was supposed to be a non-smoking property. There were signs, sure—but absolutely no enforcement. Worse: there was no visible smoke detector in the room. That's a serious safety issue. We asked to move rooms, but the second one was somehow even worse. The mattress had a deep, creepy dent on one side, the bathroom was filthy and smelled like smoke, with what looked like animal claw marks on the door, dark stains in the tub, and towels that reeked of cigarettes. We didn’t dare shower. Other red flags: - Sticky floors - Broken lamps - Guests openly smoking inside their rooms with doors open - Staff walking by and doing nothing - People smoking directly outside our door all night My partner and I ended up leaving as soon as the sun came up—sore throats, wheezing, and completely exhausted. This place was not just gross—it was dangerous to my health. I’m seeking a refund and considering legal action for putting me at risk. You could not pay me to stay here again. Stay far, far away.

The showerhead is covered in mold, it smells even though it's a non-smoking room, the fridge doesn't work, and the fire alarm went off at 4:30 AM... Other guests say this happens often... It's the worst.

The tv didn’t work. The bathroom wasn’t clean, clearly saw urine all over the toilet seat. There was a blood(y) handprint on the bathroom frame, the jacuzzi tub didn’t seem clean at all; like it was only rinsed out. The phone was only a prop. The pillow cases didn’t seem to be changed cus it had dirt and makeup on it. It was a disaster! The manager has not been available to talk and Hotels only gave me $26 dollars back! Do not recommend. You have been warned!

The pillowcases on the bed were the wrong size, and there were stains on the end of the pillow sticking out. The room was very humid and musty. The TV did not work, and when we called the front desk, they informed us that they were "between cable providers," so we simply had no cable service.

This was literally the hotel from hell, We left 15 minutes after checking in... It was disgusting both rooms were filthy, smelled awful, there was blood stains on the wall in one room and feces on the glass in another room. We were so appalled we booked another hotel immediately and left we requested a refund as it was so horrible. The property and hotels.com are both refusing to give a refund we will be getting a lawyer involved we have a ton more pictures, however, were limited to what we can upload. RUN do not book here

We had a good time staying here but there were several very minorly inconvenient things about this place. Why are the lights motion sensor activated? That is SO weird for a small room where you're expected to be relaxing in your bed. There were multiple settings for each light, but none of them left the light on. We had to get up or flail around to turn the lights back on like every 10 minutes. For some reason the wifi kept turning off for long periods of time? Another thing that bothered us was the complete lack of tint on the windows. We had to keep the curtains shut for our entire trip because the windows are quite literally Crystal Clear, no tint at all. Usually I wouldn't mind but being on street level facing the parking lot is not... preferable. The staff was super nice, the location was perfect for us, the room was clean and we had a great time! But please for the love of God change the lights from motion sensor.

I was able to sleep well while I was here but there were certain things about the room that were very run down. The light in my bathroom lacked the proper fixture and you could see wires powering the lights from below. Also, one of the locks on the door leading into my room was falling apart and only held on by two screws, one of which was sticking out when I got there and I screwed it in by hand in hopes that it would increase its structural integrity if someone tried to come into my room.

My room was dirty. Condom wrappers and dead bugs on the floor. I complained an asked for the room to be cleaned when I first arrived. But nothing. Next day I again complained but it was ignored. On my third night I demanded a new room. This is a cheap motel and I don’t expect perfection but sweeping the floor and responding to legitimate complaints are basic.

I was disappointed with my stay at the hotel. It wasn't clearly communicated that room service had to be requested, as the information was in very small print on a paper that was hard to notice from the front desk. Additionally, the condition of the room was subpar, with scratches visible throughout.

Rooms are old . Took forever to get hot water in the shower We had coffee in the room bit no coffe maker and when we got one it was dirty. So, no coffee The ceiling leaked water at the foot of the bed into the floor. The vanity area was so small you couldnt get into the toilet and shower area unless you opened the door first and steped around the door. The pillows smell musty. The bathroom vent fan was so noisy. You could here ot from outside the room. We had to get the key card reprogramed twice. The curtain was ripped and missing one side. We could not keep the curtain closed so I had to use a curtain pin hanger from the curtain. This room serbed one purpose. A place to sleep out of the rain. The staff were wonderful. Friendly. Maintenace and cleanliness Of the rooms was awfull. I should have taken photos but was just glad to check out and go.....
