What guests think

Across recent reviews, Red Roof Inn Chicago-Alsip gets mixed feedback: some guests found basic, low-cost stays with friendly staff and convenient access, while many others reported cleanliness problems, strong odors, and a generally worn, uncomfortable experience.

Repeated negatives include stained linens, mold and pests, smoke smells, broken locks or windows, and heaters or air conditioners that did not work. Service is inconsistent: several mention friendly staff, but others describe rude interactions, unreturned deposits, and slow responses. Location feels convenient to shops and transit for some, while others describe an unsafe atmosphere with people lingering and noise. Expect a budget stay with significant variability in quality.

I parked directly in front of my room which was really convenient. It was clean and extremely inexpensive. Have realistic expectation and you won’t be disappointed.

Stayed 1 night

The room was dark, only 1 lamp on one side of the bed. The door security lock was broken. The shower was dark colored with no light in the shower area to see if it was clean or not. The north door to the rear building had a broken lock. It was prevented from locking with a handkerchief. The room door was scraping the floor because the floor was puckered as if there was a flood. There were people hanging out in cars in front of the rear building. It was dark back there and didn’t seem safe. We prepaid for the room but left without staying. We went to a hotel a few blocks away and stayed there instead of Red Roof Inn.

This stay was so horrible! The service was horrible everything was horrible. I spent a good amount of money on this place and when you go in the website it’s not nothing like they say. They do not have any amenities at all. The place is pet friendly yes, but the pets are supposed to be free they tried to double charge me. The vending machines don’t work meaning the ice machine the snack machine and soda machine. The room service lady is rude she was yelling at me I had to yell back at her. The hotel is owned by a family and they live on the property, and everything you do they watch you. The husband opened his door and watched me walk my dogs and come back to my room with his door crack allowing me to see his eyes from the crack of the door. Their sons work at the desk and they are rude. They don’t respect women at all so make sure you have a male with you to get what you need done. I had to get my husband to get towels for me that I requested at 9:30am he didn’t get them until noon. The wife is the lady who cleans the rooms up she has no respect for other people things as she was cleaning out a room where some one left to go to work you can see their things in their room they had the door open for like 50 min.

The hotel was dirty, the bathroom door didn't close or lock, the chairs was taped up and nasty, the room smelled like cigarettes mildew, and like they tried to cover it up with some kind of fresh cent, and I had a non smoking room. There was dryer up fingernails polish on the floor, the mini fridge was dirty, the bed was extremely uncomfortable with a worn out mattress where you could feel the springs in your back. There was menstrual blood on the toilet seat...so that tells me they didn't clean. The only thing I liked about the hotel was the lady who checked me in. What got me is they charge a $50 dosposit just in case you damaged something (:/) I didn't have the energy to complain about my room because I was there for my cousin fenural. My stay was for two nights, I didn't sleep there my second night because the smel and Filth was so bad. I wouldn't even take my clothes out of the bag because I didn't want to smell like that smell at my cousin fenural. I wish I would have took pictures to show people the false advertising they have on line. Oh! I almost forgot got how the lamps had yellow stain on them and the walls was filthy as well. I would not recommend this hotel to any one, as a matter of fact I would tell people if you go to Chicago, avoid the Red Roof Inn on Cicero. I was very unhappy and disappointed with my half of day stay. For the amount of money I paid I was truly upset because I wasted my money on a very unpleasant hotel. 10 thumb down on that place

Truth be told they were bugs. Bugs of all kinds that hid out and were under paintings, the microwave, and in the bathroom. The main blankets were dirty and had cigarette burn holes in them. The walls are chipped and coming apart and the floor was dirty. The bed was creaky and the carpet that was there was sticky and dirty. It was not a great experience.

I had to buy my own sheets/ comforter and pillows to put on the bed as the linen was stained, there was cigarette burns on one of beds. The pillows had pinkish and brown stains on them. The lamp shades were dirty and stained. I booked the room for 4 and only had towels for two, and when asked for towels from front desk was told that they were out of towels at the front and would have to wait until housekeeping came around later in the day to get towels. So we had to share towels so that we could get on with our day as we had activities planned with family for the day. We only stayed as we were not able to secure accommodation else were on short notice and my stay here was non refundable.

Cons: Floors were dirty, unswept and unvacuumed. You could hear traffic loudly in the room because the door didn't seal shut. And there was a single lock with no deadbolt inside. Tile was on the floor in the bathroom that fell off the wall. Soap scum on the shower walls. There was a hole kicked through the bottom of the bathroom door. The toilet wasn't attached to the ground and wobbled when you sat down. There were people everywhere outside and there was someone listening to music loudly in the doorway of their room right next to ours. It overall felt unsafe to leave the room. Pros: The bed was comfortable. I didn't see any bugs in the 2 days I was there. Bed linens seemed clean. It's literally a place to stay. Don't expect anything more. I will not stay here again.

I needed a decent room at the last minute bc where I thought I could stay with a relative, it didn’t work out. So I searched online and found Red Roof Inn. All o have to say is “they took good care of me at a reasonable price & I’d stay there again & highly recommend them.

The place is very low end. The desk clerk spoke with a thick Indian accent and talked from behind a plexiglass window, making it almost impossible to understand him. He was very rude. People were hanging around all hours of the night, probably long term tenants. The white towels were almost gray with age. Knowing this I wouldn’t stay here again.

We stayed one night in the front building; found our room to be clean and neat; staff was friendly; location was convenient to our plans in the area. Plus, the price was right for our needs this trip. We would stay again (in the front building), if in the area.

After i checked in and saw the building and the room i was mortified. It is a crack house. People had their doors open smoking marijuana. Drug dealers hanging out the windows waving at me as if i were a potential customer. This place is totally unsafe. The building was in complete disrepair. My linens were stained and the room was not cleaned properly. Absolutely, disgusting. The owner refused to issue refund and said i had to get it from Expedia. I am currently working on getting my refund from Expedia
