Rodeway Inn Chicago/Evanston

Simply a place to stay - convenient location, easy parking, good value.

You have to buzz in to get in to the front office, which is behind a bullet proof window. That states something. Front office lady doesn't explain anything but throws a form for us to sign to charge deposit before our check-in. The front door to enter each subunit is not locked automatically. There is no breakfast, but Panera bread is conveniently across the street. Parking space is kind of limited. First come first serve. At the time of our visit, it was very full.

It was a very efficient experience. Perfect for a place to sleep for the night as long as you don't care that the window is very close to the parking lot. Clean and a good value.

Clean room, updated bathroom, fridge in room, free parking, good location for visit to Evanston or Skokie. Rooms are small, and we were by the street which was noisy. No amenities but a nice place for spending a night or two if you are just looking for a place to sleep.

Across the street from a Starbucks. Easy parking.

We liked staying there because we were able to park our uhaul. Also we could walk to restaurants in the area. Nice and clean. The clerk was very helpful.

Room was decent, parking readily available, bathroom large. My wife noted that the room had no closet or place to hang clothes. Noisy fellow tenants returned to their room one night at 3 AM. There were ok restaurants within two blocks, both for breakfast and dinner. Price was reasonable.

The door frame trim that had the door latch was loose from the wall and would come off. The water smelled like sulferus well water. The windows seemed to be made of paper as theyvlet in every single noise from outside. Parking only had 15 spots with 1 handicap spot to cover a total of 20 plus rooms. The door to the stairs that lead to our room did not lock or even have a latchctocstay closed. The beds were clearly bricks with some springs in them and the blanket situation was simple a queen sized heavy duvet cover with not actual duvet inside of it for a king sized matress. The room as a whole was clearly poorly remodeled. Oh and the coffee maker had moldy coffee still in it from the previous person who had stayed there.

Would stay here again. Good location, clean, easy parking situation. Close for north side things opposed to staying somewhere downtown.

Very clean and well kept. They has parking for our U-haul truck

Sheets had holes! Shower had worn and torn paper cup catching the drip! Hair on floor in bathroom! Smelled like a smoking room. So gross I left! Only redeeming quality, lady at reception was nice! She offered me a warm water when machine would not accept a $10 bill and I didn’t have change.

Great value property. My room was clean and well appointed. And the price very fair for a place in Chicago!

It was very clean and nice for the price. Pillows could use an update. Very lumpy but other than that it was great!

We got in our room and there was poop still in the toilet hair in the sink, dirty marks on the sheets! I want a refund please and thank you!

There was dried blood on the shower curtain and a spot on a towel. The bathroom light kept turning on and off. Pieces of trim were missing from the mirror and the curtains had holes in them. There were no USB ports. Noisy area.

Surprisingly very clean & well maintened. Didn't expect much since I knew I was booking at an older motel but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived!

It’s a good stay if you have no other option. I mean it’s not too bad but the bed sheets did have some black stains on them. Bathroom was clean… we go food that night left the bag there to throw away in the morning and it had ants… but other than that it’s not so bad… staff was nice and polite.

Dirty and smelly. Smell of poop from bathroom spread out and covered the whole place.

The shower had a constant drip, the bathroom had a foul smell (like a sewer-type smell), and the bathroom had some of its lights on some sort of motion sensor that kept going on and off even if you were standing still.

This is very old property and I don’t suggest to stay here. Only washrooms were remodeled. Every thing is old and stinky.

Couldn't get the TV to change channels, very noisy with loudly slamming doors, peoples loud voices in the stairway, heavy walking up stairs, no where to hang clothes, no iron or ironing board, was charged $60.00 security deposit, which I may get back in 10 days, no senior or AARP discount and the wifi did not work. Parking was also quite limited. The room had peeling wall paper also. The heat & AC worked great! The lamps had plug in on bass for charging devices. Nice shower, although the shower hear was too high for me to adjust it. Also, the mirror was too high, I couldn't see my lips unless I stood on my tippy toes. The bed was comfortable. I would not stay there again.

Staff and check-in were very nice. Room did not have any hooks or closet space, but I slept well and the amenities were good. Walls are a little thin. Neighborhood is safe. Bed was comfortable and firm.

Clean and newly renovated. Tv and cable box not working. Area ok. Outside door doesnt lock which made me nervous.

no microwave oven, But the microwave was on the list.

Tv was busted. Not a lot of restaurants

Clean room, updated bathroom, fridge in room, free parking, good location for visit to Evanston or Skokie. Rooms are small, and we were by the street which was noisy. No amenities but a nice place for spending a night or two if you are just looking for a place to sleep.

We checked in very late. Walked over to nearby shopping center to get dinner there was also a Starbucks there to get a coffee in the morning. After dinner we decided to walk through the neighborhood which was a gorgeous neighborhood and absolutely safe. (I don't know how much safer a neighborhood can be when there are several single women out jogging after 9:00 p.m.) The room was adequate the beds were very comfy. However the walls were paper thin and behind us and to the right of us there was a baby screaming. Not the baby's fault. However by 11:30 p.m. when we went to bed everything seem to be very quiet.

Room was decent, parking readily available, bathroom large. My wife noted that the room had no closet or place to hang clothes. Noisy fellow tenants returned to their room one night at 3 AM. There were ok restaurants within two blocks, both for breakfast and dinner. Price was reasonable.

Safe and walkable to shopping and restaurants but bed was too hard and the bathroom too small. The shower needed a soap dish and the shower leaked non stop

Stayed a couple nights and it was ok. The bed was clean but rock hard and the pillows were lumpy and they were unable to give me other pillows. Floors were pretty dirty but overall the place was decent for the cost. Right next to the road but the very loud AC unit in the room kept the noise regulated. Don't expect much and you will be ok.

Really nice for the price . Staff was awesome from the cleaning lady to front desk

The desk clerk in the evening was excellent and helpful. The staff member in the morning was as well.

Check in process and competancy of certain front desk people caused me a lot of inconvienience

The female receptionist was very rude

Was charged an extra $60 when i got to the hotel for no better explained reason than deposit..???? I asked for an explanation genuinely confused as I've already spent money on the hotel online and was met with attitude and rudeness…. The receptionist’s demeanor made me feel so questionable about the safety of my personal info i for the first time actually thought about the dangers of handing someone my ID not once til now had i considered that

I recently stayed at the Rodeway Inn for a total of about 2 weeks, and I want to take the time to share just how positive my experience was. First and foremost, I want to recognize Barbara at the front desk. She was truly the highlight of my stay. Every single time I checked in, Barbara was warm, professional, and welcoming. She went above and beyond her role by not only making sure everything was handled smoothly but also by offering thoughtful recommendations and advice. That kind of personal attention made me feel valued as a guest. Most importantly, knowing Barbara was on duty gave me peace of mind—I felt safe, respected, and able to finally get the rest I desperately needed. Staff members like Barbara are rare, and she is a tremendous asset to your hotel. Housekeeping also did an excellent job. My room was always clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a big relief during my extended stay. That level of consistency made it easy to settle in and feel comfortable for the weeks I was there. Overall, my stay at this Rodeway Inn far exceeded my expectations. I came in thinking of it as just a motel stay, but it turned out to be comfortable, restful, and stress-free. Because of the outstanding service—especially Barbara’s professionalism, kindness, and dedication—I will most definitely stay again and recommend this location to others. Sincerely, Erica Edwards

I really appreciate the kindness of the front desk staff.

Desk staff was such a delight! Absolutely adored her. Hotel was quiet. In an area you can walk to a handful of things. Room was nice enough. No bugs or rodents.

I was charged 60 dollars as a deposit without getting a receipt even though I was only staying one night and lady who checked us in said that I can get the receipt in the morning when I check out. When I checked out the guy was so rude and refuse to give me a receipt and said that I have to wait till the manager comes; I asked why I have to wait, just print the receipt and let me go and I told him that the lady last night when I checked in said I will get the receipt in the morning, then he I answered “ I am not her!!!” He was extremely rude and pushy and barely gave me a copy of my check in paper. I will never stay there again.

They were never at the front desk, I checked out and they haven’t send my deposit back. Room was okay but just the quality of the service was really low. Also check their phone number before booking, they never answer, called more than 60 times for my deposit refund.

Simply a place to stay - convenient location, easy parking, good value.

Close by to things around and food.

Great price and convenient location.

Super convenient

Across the street from a Starbucks. Easy parking.

We checked in very late. Walked over to nearby shopping center to get dinner there was also a Starbucks there to get a coffee in the morning.

We liked staying there because we were able to park our uhaul. Also we could walk to restaurants in the area. Nice and clean. The clerk was very helpful.

Quiet and safe neighborhood

Close to wrigleyville

Would stay here again. Good location, clean, easy parking situation. Close for north side things opposed to staying somewhere downtown.

Just a heads up, there is a $60 deposit due at check in. The room was clean and quiet. Lots of good places to eat and shop.

Room was decent, parking readily available, bathroom large. My wife noted that the room had no closet or place to hang clothes. Noisy fellow tenants returned to their room one night at 3 AM. There were ok restaurants within two blocks, both for breakfast and dinner. Price was reasonable.

Nice area with a Panera accross the street. Room and building were nice and clean but no soap holders in the shower, tiny bathroom faucet w/o space for ones toiletries and no closet, nowhere to hang clothes. Good in general though.

As an economy hotel, this one was pretty good. The pluses were a nice big flat screen TV with cable service and blackout curtains. The negatives was that the room was carpeted making me worry about the presence of bedbugs and there were no grab bars or soap shelves in the shower. Otherwise, it was conveniently located for my visit and there were stores and decent places to eat nearby, including a Panera just across the road. The hotel clerk was helpful and friendly.
