What guests think

Rodeway Inn Chicago North Shore - Lincolnwood is a budget, no-frills stay that many find affordable and conveniently located, but amenities are limited and experiences vary, especially around noise from the busy road.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with recurring smoke odors and a few reports of bed bugs, mold, and sewage smells alongside many positive comments. Service is often friendly and helpful, though some guests report problems such as overbooking, denied or delayed refunds, difficulty reaching staff late at night, and inconsistent responsiveness. Amenities are basic with few in-room extras, and while parking is available, access can be tricky; some reviewers also felt the area and property activity were sketchy or unsafe, so this suits cost-conscious travelers seeking a simple overnight base.

The place wasn’t too bad. I did not have high expectations or anything of the sort. One thing that was odd there’s no phones in the rooms. But me and a friend booked the room because we went to the city for a concert. Didn’t want to have to drive back really late, so we just had the hotel to sleep in one night and we left long before checkout so it was OK. It wasn’t anything like the review reviews online. The reviews online were horrible and it was not that bad.

I have stay at this hotel for many many years, when I am in the area. I like that they keep improving on the condition. I REALLY WISH YOU WOULD PUT IN A REFRIGERATOR AND A MICROWAVE. It very hard to keep food cold when you stay for several days, like I do. The staff was wonderful and very helpful as always. I tell my friends about this place ,but they all want a hotel with A REFRIGERATOR AND A MICROWAVE. Thank you Keep up the good work.

A great place if you just need a place to sleep and then move on to other activities. Very clean and easy parking too. Not many amenities but we didn't need them so it worked just great for us.

This is excellent for this type of hotel: a place to keep your stuff while going into the city to get stuff done. This isn't the place for vacations, no pool, no room service. It's great to stay in the city when you plan on spending time everywhere else but the hotel.

Bathroom door broken; bathroom smelled of open sewer; no closet, or even single hook or chair to lay a coat; tv didn't work; no blankets, just a single sheet on the bed; constant noise of traffic from busy Lincoln ave - or anybody talking in the parking lot. Of course if you could afford anything better you wouldn't be staying here, so if this is all you can afford you could do worse. At least the room seemed clean, the staff friendly, and we did not encounter any prostitutes or hear any gunshots (though we weren't there on a weekend. )

It’s the perfect spot for a one night stay, but the walls are thin and voices carry. It’s impossible to get out of parking on side of the lot. I had to inch by inch back up.

I spotted a bed bug, caught it (rhought I killed it), and took to the front desk. I thought I wpuld be placed in another room but instead I was told to leave. At 11:50 pm, this was terrible. The person at the front desk said I would get a refund for the booking. When I thought about it, I understood this development as a blessing in disguise. I was very happy with the next place I stayed. Will never entertain another stay in a Rodeway Inn. I am still waiting for the refund ($179.64) and refund of the deposit ($60).

Room was dirty. Signs everywhere saying not to smoke and literally the lobby smelt like smoke, the room smelled like cigarettes the towels and the bedding all smelled like cigarettes. The walls were even yellow from cigarette smoke. Then again what do you expect for $100 a night. I got my deposit back thankfully. It was very close to the train, bus stops, some dining and shopping. In a very nice little area. I would stay again till they did something about the cigarette smoke smell.

The room was clean and was reasonably priced but ended up leaving after the first night due to the unsafe conditions. There were drug deals going on in the parking lot and could hear people all throughout the night. Someone even tried to get in the room around 2am. Stayed in the 1st floor and heard every movement from above. Felt every spring in the bed. Would highly NOT recommend staying here.

So, I booked 2 night Stay with 2 double bed option. Upon reaching they say they are out of 2 beds and can only offer 1 bed room. They say it's Expedia's fault and they can offer me a refund. Upon contacting Expedia the team says the hotel declined the request for full/partial refund. I mean this is so unprofessional. On our face the staff was apologetic and a couple of days later we receive notification from Expedia that they decline the refund.

When I got back to the motel after a long day my key card didn't work. There's no attendant in the office The phone numbers posted in the lobby Go to dead end disconnected numbers. Some idiot came into the lobby 45 minutes later with a bag of food in his hands unlocked the door and walked in the office. I asked him if he works here and he was silent. He asked me what I needed and I said I needed to get into my room. I asked him what the phone number is to this place and he said word for word. "I have no clue" I waited for 45 minutes in the cold to be able to get into the room that I paid for. This is very unacceptable Expedia. What do you intend to do about my wasted time and inconvenience?
