What guests think

Across recent reviews, Admiral Motel By OYO Chicago I-94 receives heavy criticism for cleanliness, with repeated reports of stained or burned linens, smoke odors, pests, and other hygiene issues, though a few guests described their stays as acceptable.

Room features frequently failed, including missing or nonfunctional Wi-Fi and TVs, lack of microwaves or fridges, uncomfortable beds, and damaged furnishings. Service feedback cites cash-only $20 key or remote deposits, confusing or duplicate charges, long waits, and rude or unhelpful staff, with occasional mentions of a friendly attendant. The location is convenient to Chicago transit lines and shops, but several guests reported safety concerns and disruptive late-night activity. Expect very basic, low-cost lodging with significant trade-offs.

Take an inflatable mattress. The one sheet the bed came with exposed blood stains all over the mattress. We honestly slept on the floor couldnt bring ourselves to the bed. No roaches that we could see but you get what you pay for.

Não costumo falar mal dos estabelecimentos, mas nesse caso em especial não é possível falar nada de bom deste lugar, a não ser o atendente que ficava pela manha. Os ambiente fedia a cigarro, mesmo não sendo um quarto de fumantes. Todos os móveis visivelmente velhos gastos e sem nenhum tipo de manutenção. As roupas de cama manchadas e difícil de dizer se estavam limpos, atem da colcha cheia de furos de cigarro e partes rasgadas. É no mínimo um absurdo que a plataforma deixe esse estabelecimento ativo e pior usando imagens mentirosas sobre a qualidade do quarto ofertado. Eu espero que a plataforma faça alguma coisa e bloqueie esse estabelecimento.

BEWARE THE BUGS !! Also, toilets don’t flush correctly and the front desk clerk isn’t much help (he didn’t even know what a plunger was) The “towels” for showering were all floor mats too.

Never even think to stay in this hotel. Here the issues: dirty blankets with cigarette holes, light at the bathroom with no switch, mirrors of the wall already broken in the floor, super dirty rugs, moldy curtains, bathroom full of hairs, a RAT 🐀 inside the room ( YES A RAT), people with effects of drugs in the lobby, dirty used towels, toilet paper around the air conditioner to “ seal it” destroyed in parts furniture. NEVER BOOK IN THIS PLACE!

Probably the saddest room I’ve ever gotten anywhere. Furniture actually broken, bowed warped dresser, bathroom lights didn’t work and the floor was wet. The floor in the bathroom and the carpet in the room was wet. Like wet wet, all night, near standing water wet. Nothing seemed to be actively leaking so I couldn’t figure out why. Didn’t see any roaches though so that was cool I guess

Terrible bed, bugs, roaches, dirty sheets, blood stains on the sheets experience won’t ever do that again. I was just looking for a quick night trip to get some rest before I hit the road again and it was just a terrible experience. No refund was offered and also I had to put up a $20 deposit for remote control. Just terrible if you looking to just get laid and you know you can probably go there but that wasn’t the type of family trip still itching from the bug

My stay was extremely disappointing due to serious issues with both the room and the location. Bedding: The bed sheets were in terrible condition, with several cigarette burn holes and prominent stains. Toilet: The toilet was non-functional and would not flush. Shower: The shower faucet handle was broken, making it impossible to regulate water temperature beyond scalding hot or freezing cold. Location: Beyond the issues with the room, the surrounding neighborhood felt unsafe and is known for a higher crime rate. I strongly advise researching the area before booking. Due to the unsanitary room and concerns for my safety, I was forced to check out early. I cannot recommend this motel.

But the room itself did not look bad 😩

One thing I liked about the property was its convenient access to both the Orange and Red Line—just a six-minute walk. The staff was friendly, but the booking system and credit card machine weren’t working properly. This caused a no-show issue and led to a duplicate charge through Expedia, even though I was asked to pay in cash at the motel. The whole experience was a bit frustrating and confusing.

I paid on line and these people made me paid twice because they claim they don’t associate with Expedia. I had to pay and additional 20 in cash which they pocketed and they charger my card 5$ so I paid $182 for one day. The place was dirty the AC smelled like pee. The man was very rude the blanket had cigarette burns in it and the light didn’t work!!!! Please take this hotel off Expedia!!
