What guests think
At Best Western Des Plaines O'Hare, guests describe a budget-friendly stay near the airport with decent free breakfasts and occasionally very clean rooms, but also an older property with frequent maintenance problems and policies that can frustrate check-in and comfort.
Recurring complaints include a long-closed pool, broken or propped-open exterior doors, sporadic elevator issues, thin walls and noise, and inconsistent housekeeping with reports of hair, odors, ants or roaches, and occasional hot-water, toilet, or TV problems. Positives repeated across reviews are friendly staff at times, clean or spacious rooms in some stays, and convenient access to O'Hare, Rosemont, and nearby dining. Expect basic value and location convenience, with notable trade-offs in upkeep and amenities.

Facilities
Facilities are limited and often out of order: the indoor pool has been closed for an extended period, several exterior doors and some elevators have been broken or propped open, and keycard access can fail. Parking is mainly at the back and can feel inconvenient or insecure.

I liked that room itself. I did not like that the gentleman at the front desk said we could go out the side and back doors but couldn’t get in them, just to find out all of them were propped open making it easy for anyone guest or not to enter the premises.

I understand you get what you pay for, but cleanliness & safety should be expected! I booked 2 rooms, upon arrival there were 2 other people waiting to speak/check-in… only the front desk person had been in the bathroom for some time. The woman standing in line presented a plate of breakfast food she found in her microwave, it wasn’t hers! This was the 2nd room they moved to, this set the tone. We were told ALL exit doors within the building do not work and that the only door to use is the main entrance. Parking is in the back of a long narrow building, so you would need to walk around the whole building to get in, which is extremely inconvenient, potentially unsafe, not to mention it was pouring rain! But good for us, BRICKS were used to prop open all exit doors, doors that are supposed to be locked for our securityl! Not okay! Then we take the smelly dirty elevator up to 2nd floor. I walk into my room and this is what I find; windows that don’t shut nor lock obviously, dust so thick within the credenza, next to the dirty fridge, there was a small child’s footprint in the grime! There was hair EVERYWHERE, the “lounge” chair was covered in stains! The cherry on top… the security latch was broken! As we left only 10minutes later, the counter chick was again in the bathroom. The next morning we checkout, the new attendant is again in the bathroom with music blaring. No breakfast food at 830am and the pool was closed, although I wouldn’t of usedy it! Absolutely unacceptable!!!!

Pool was out of order and appeared to had been for some time. Parking was in the rear but the 2 rear entrances were “out of order” but nothing appeared to be wrong with the doors. There appeared to be urine in the toilet when we got into the room. Front staff was not overly friendly.

Reliably decent with complementary breakfast. Near the airport and not far from the Rosemont metro station. The pool has been out for years, but we go for the location and the feeling of safety and cleanliness.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is inconsistent: multiple reviews note hair in bathrooms, stained linens, odors, trash, or pests (ants, roaches, and occasional reports of bedbugs), alongside others that found rooms very clean. Housekeeping frequency varies, with some stays receiving little or no service.

The rooms were not very clean. Hair all over the bathroom. Black fuzzy on the bedding. Staff always on personal phone calls. I checked into my room and had just settled in and someone knocked on my door. Another guest was assigned my room and they key they had worked on my door. Very scary. Breakfast was delicious with many different options. Not horrible for what I paid. Works for a night for a concert at Allstate if you are going to drive or uber as it is not walking distance.

Not a clean hotel! When we first got to our room, it looked like the beds had been made, but the sheets had not been changed. There were crumbs in the bed. The bathtub had not been cleaned. The floors had not been vacuumed. There was a vape pen on the floor. The hallways and elevator looked like they had not been vacuumed in a while. The dumpster outback was overflowing with trash bags on the ground all around it the pool look like it was in desperate need of repair. We did not stay here. Asked for a refund they would not refund us for that day but they did for the next two days so basically I paid for a day stay there and I did not stay there. Manager was rude.

The hotel had an unpleasant odor. The carpets were filthy. There were bags of garbage in the hallway. The pullout bed had unidentified pills laying in it. No sheets for it either. Staff was kind, but completely disengaged. Just an all around gross experience.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel entrance was a bit intimidating and not very welcoming from the outside. Upon arrival, there was a lot of noise and commotion on my floor, and unfortunately, the walls were very thin—you could hear everything going on around you, especially late into the night. The shower was also disappointing, as there was quite a bit of black hair left in the tub and surrounding areas, which made it feel unclean. The pillows were extremely thin, though the bed itself was surprisingly comfortable. If it weren’t for the noise and cleanliness issues, this could’ve been a decent stay overall.

The room was fine but the walls were so thin I could hear the television from the person next door. Then, the person above me was so noisy and kept dropping things and running around that it was hard for me to sleep. This was one of the worst hotels from that perspective. The room was fine but I will never stay there because the quality of the building is so incredibly poor.

I had to be moved from a king bed to two queen because the remote won’t work and no one knew how to fix it. In the new room you could hear the people above my room all night walking around. The maid came in and folded the bathroom floor mat but that was it, didn’t make the bed, didn’t restock anything. The only good thing about this place was the young man working the front desk in the evenings.

We have stayed at this property previously and have no issues. But this time we had one. I booked this online and had stated we would pay at the property when we arrived. I had my bank credit card on file with Hotels.com but was using a different card for the room once arrived, as we have done prior. I informed the desk when we arrived of this, and they scanned my Discover card for the charges. But to my dismay, after we checked out and returned home, they went ahead and charged my bank card and not my Discover card as I had asked. As we normally stay here when we come to town, this is unacceptable and we will not be using this hotel in the future. Be wary when booking here.

Started with the receptionist , she was so rude, when checking us in, we reserved 4 rooms and while she checking us she was on the phone at the same time giving us no respect or attention and kept talking to the point we didn’t know if talking to us or to the people on the phone. So not welcoming at all period. Room service was bad , didn’t clean the room, we stayed two nights didn’t even touch the beds. Smell bad all over. Rude staff . Accept the receptionist who checked us out on Monday morning , she was not.

I stayed for three nights and didn’t receive room service even once—not even a check-in. The blankets were super flimsy, and honestly, I expected at least a complimentary water bottle in the room. For the price, the amenities felt lacking. On the brighter side, the breakfast was solid and the staff were friendly, which I appreciated. But overall, the experience could’ve been much better with a little more attention to comfort and service.

Front desk personnel were rude and short with me multiple times. Bathrooms in common areas were out of order, as was the pool. TV was not synced to remote. Asked to have it fixed and front desk said Ishould have reported the issue sooner. That staff attending to those needs leave at 3 p.m. daily (I reported it about 2:20 p.m.) Called from my room at 2:40;p.m. as a 2nd request. Was told staff was gone fo the day. So I asked why staff was allowed to leave early. The line disconnected. 5 minutes later, there was a knock on my door; it was the front desk clerk (female) and someone from housekeeping. They were able to sync the remote and TV. Customer service was horrible. Likely not going back.

No frills but it was very clean and if you need to stay in Des Plaines it’s the only option. Not far from the train station (a mile) and a Starbucks but there is nothing otherwise right there.

Do not stay here if you can help it. Very shady happenings in the parking lot. We did not feel safe taking our kids inside. Look elsewhere.

Affordable price, easy access from airport and public transportation, comfortable matress and breakfast was nice. The best part was there were lot of dining choices in walkable distance. Overall good choice for a budget traveler.

The area around the property looks kind of shady but once you go inside the property it looks very nice. The service is very good and everyone is super polite. The breakfast is very good and they offer a good variety of items. Our check in and out was easy and convenient.

Could hear everything!!!! Couldn’t sleep. The TV was a nightmare to figure out. The breakfast wasn’t all that good. The signs outside said park at your own risk which made me a little worried.

Pool was not filled. It advertises a pool on your app. Only AFTER I book I was told pool wouldn’t be available I couldn’t cancel booking. Water in shower never got hot. Hallway smelled like smoke.

This place doesn't deserve to be called a Best Western. Bed sheets needed to be replaced, pool looks permanently closed, despite it being listed as a current amenity on both their website and Expedia. Breakfast bar had bugs present and dirty juice dispensers that left black specs in the juice. It was so bad i left after one night despite booking 2 nights. Do NOT recommend.

1st there was no toilet paper in the room. Woke up in the middle of the night and was told to come downstairs to get some. The staff was extremely rude saying I should have checked. Then no breakfast!!! Myself and many others were left with no breakfast because we were there at 10. The front desk told us we should have come at 6:30!!! What?? I booked due to free breakfast. Extremely rude and lazy staff .... I can't stress that enough.

Room was clean. We had enough towels. The coffee maker is a really tiny one. Makes 1 small cup of coffee. The microwave hardly worked. Breakfast was fine. Plenty of options. The pool was shut down. They allowed us to check in late with no extra fee . No fee for parking. All the other hotels by Allstate arena charged for parking. It was fine for a 1 night stay.

This hotel suffers from the same problem as every other hotel— you’re sharing it with other people. The rooms are okay for the price I guess, but because of the way this place was built you hear foot traffic way too much. And if those people have heavy feet it’s really loud and annoying.

I had to wait on staff to come check me in. Then the TV was stuck on one channel and the person there was not helpful. There was mold in the sink drain and trash in the parking lot. It seems to need staff who care a little more.

Advertised pool and Hot Tub. Both empty for a long time. Have stayed at 3 Best Western hotels in the last month. Will not stay again. List in room said it has 24 hours airport shuttle. False. Told they haven't since COVID. Moldy oranges in fruit basket. Scrambled eggs had a green slime and Luke warm. Took 8 minutes to get a Luke warm shower water.
