What guests think

Reviews of Extended Stay America Select Suites - Chicago - Darien describe friendly staff and a convenient, generally quiet location, but note dated, very basic rooms, inconsistent cleanliness, limited on-site amenities, and unexpected fees for kitchen kits or housekeeping.

Breakfast is minimal or unavailable, and several guests found the Wi‑Fi slow unless paying for an upgrade. Experiences range from very clean rooms to reports of odors, smoke smells, pests, and maintenance problems like broken fixtures, leaks, and noisy HVAC. Expect a no‑frills stay suited to budget‑minded travelers who prioritize price and location over amenities.

Appears to be in the middle of a remodel so finishes are not in all rooms example missing trim around bathroom sink.

Never again. The room cleaness was substandar - the room stinked, the forniture was dusty, the kitchen dirty and floors sticky. The kitchen was unsuable - it is not minimally stocked and additional $60 are necessary to get the minimal kitchen gear, not including cleaning supplies nor coffee makers. Also, if you read that the place is an “hotel” that offers toiletries, it is innacurate. It is not an hotel- for $97/night you get a place to sleep with a wc and shower, stove/microwave and fridge ( no closets). Shared areas like elevator stinked of cigarettes. We end up leaving one day earlier, loosing money rather than enduring one night more.

The staff were super friendly and helpful! The rooms itself were a little out dated compared to other extended stays I have been to and you did have to pay extra for linen changes and items to use the kitchen.

Easy access from neighboring areas. Very slow wifi - No vending machine if you need a quick refreshment or food bar and candy. No one is cleaning our room. Soap and shampoo is very cheap or old.

The rooms were clean. But what they don’t advise is that they charge to use the cooking supplies that are advertised. I’ve stayed at Extended Stays before, but NEVER have been charged. I was frustrated about that! It was $20 for pot, pan and utensils. Then it was another $17 for ONE plate, ONE bowl, ONE spoon and fork. I chose not to spend this extra money, so it made my “extended stay” less inviting.

There is nothing good to say about this property. Our non-smoking room smelled like cigarettes. You had to fill the toilet yourself if you wanted to flush it because the tank didnt fill. The TV didnt work. The air conditioner didnt work. Despite all of these issues, we didnt even have the option to switch rooms because the entire time we were on the property, there wasnt a single employee on site.

The room is like a college dorm room. It was large but spartan. The only amenity was one bar of soap and four bath towels-no hair dryer, shampoo or conditioner. The kitchen was bare. One person in our group couldn’t get the shower to work, and there was no one working the front desk to help. We checked out a day early, even though we paid for the second night. The staff was friendly. Avoid staying here!

I stayed for two nights while visiting the Chicago area. Clean sheets, hot shower, quiet location off the expressway. Plenty of stores and restaurants within miles of the hotel. The kitchen area in the room was a nice addition if you’re looking to cook a hot meal. The breakfast was limited but overall the stay was a good experience.

I can't tell you about my stay because when I arrived at the hotel at 1 am with a confirmed reservation, THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ROOMS!!! So at 1 in the morning with early morning business meetings the next day, I had to find a new hotel. INEXCUSABLE, HORRIBLE, COMPLETELY WORTHLESS.

The hotel for weekend prices, it's expensive. A not very nice place, people drinking in the parking lot, the entrance smelled bad, but I'm going to give credit to the cleaning of the rooms 👌 9, They offer you breakfast and it turns out they are dispatch machines.
