Extended Stay America Select Suites - Chicago - Darien

Amenities are limited; in-room kitchens are unstocked and cookware and other items carry extra charges. Laundry is fee-based, and a few guests mentioned parking-lot maintenance issues.

Cleanliness is inconsistent: while several guests found rooms clean, many reported odors (including smoke), dirty or dusty areas, trash left behind, and occasional pests. Common areas, such as hallways or the elevator, also drew complaints about smells.

Rooms are dated and basic but often spacious, with kitchenettes and generally comfortable beds. Guests noted maintenance and noise issues in some rooms (vibrations, leaky fixtures, loud HVAC) and slow free Wi‑Fi, with paid upgrades for better speed.

Service is frequently praised as friendly and welcoming, with efficient check‑ins and helpful responses. However, several guests reported staffing gaps or poor responsiveness (desk closed or unreachable, room not available, limited assistance, and occasional rude interactions).

Convenient location near I‑55 with generally quiet surroundings and easy access to stores and nearby areas. A few mentioned it can be tricky to reach and noted nighttime hallway activity or parking‑lot issues.

Dining is very limited: several reviews report no breakfast or only coffee with packaged items like muffins or oatmeal, and some guests said listings were misleading. A few also noted coffee not always available.
