This property was sparsely occupied and the smoke free rooms have 0 ability to keep the smoke from the smoking rooms from intruding into your room, I stayed all of 20mins before requesting a refund and heading to the doubletree about 5miles south

There was nothing great about this motel. Its outdate had issues getting back into room. The area is shady not enough restaurants near by. The bed are crappy rooms r very small they give you throw size pillows. Comforter is uncomfortable shower is set up for people 5' or smaller. Would not recommend this motel for any stay. It is good for a dog motel because there are plenty of dogs in rooms barking as you walk by.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Motel 6 Palatine, IL - Chicago Northwest due to being out late and in need of a place to stay for the night. The highlight of our stay was the friendly and personable front desk clerk. However, we were disappointed by the overall environment of the motel. The hallways had an unpleasant odor, and we found hairs on the sheets. This prompted us to purchase Lysol spray from Walgreens in order to sanitize the bedding and the entire room before we felt comfortable enough to sleep. Unfortunately, this experience has left us with a negative impression, and we do not plan on returning to this establishment in the future.

It is affordable. Cleaner than the other Motels. But it was kind of noisy last night, the other tenants were going back and forth on the hallway talking loud like its their own house.

Guy at front desk has a really bad attitude and hates doing his job. He threatened to not let me check in and not give me a refund. Also said he would jump over the counter if I rang the bell one more time (I walked in and there was a sign saying “be back in 15”) I don’t know how long that was there for before I got there. He got mad and was unimaginably rude.

It was what I would expect from an inexpensive motel (based on today's inflated prices). I was surprised that they did not even have shampoo, but the service and cleanliness were fine and coffee was provided in the lobby in the morning. The motel seemed to have an "institutional" feel to it, mostly due to its age.
