What guests think
Starway Inn is a basic, budget-friendly roadside motel with an older, well-worn property; many guests find rooms clean and beds comfortable, appreciate easy parking and highway access, and often praise friendly staff.
Reported issues include bathroom disrepair, occasional bad odors or smoke smells, traffic noise from I-94, and concerns about the surrounding area's feel or walkability. While many interactions were courteous and check-in can be quick, a number of guests report rude encounters, difficulty reaching the property, and disputes around charges or refunds. Overall, expect a no-frills, budget stay focused on access and value rather than polish.

This a great budget freindly hotel. The staff is nice and room was clean. All facilities worked, what else can you expect for the price? Sure it's an old property and won't win any beauty pageants, but it checked all the boxes for what I needed.

Stayed for 2 nights and it was pretty solid. It’s not great but it’s not bad. The bed and bathroom were clean, WiFi was good, and there was plenty of parking. Even tho it was right next to the highway it was still quiet. The room did smell strongly like cigarettes which wasn’t ideal. Some sketchy residents as well. Good place for a night or two.

Convenient budget motel location away from Chicago. Very basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. Free coffee in the check in area was available (no coffee maker in the room). An overhead light was nice but no table lamps by the bed was a bummer. Some nearby eating options such as IHOP. Overall, good enough for a one night stay while passing through

Travel nurse after 3 weeks of bad hotels I found this one. The bed is comfortable, 4 pillows! Room is super clean. We’re very happy her and will continue to stay here 3 days a week until the contract is over. Thanks for the comfortable, affordable room

Rating is per the price point. Pros: - fast and painless check in. - bed was fair, room spacious. Cons: - the bathroom was in disrepair. Peeled paint, tile, fixtures missing (like toilet paper holder). It also smelled quite awful, likely unclean drains. - right under a major highway, so very loud. Soundproofing between rooms above/below is also not great. - Surrounding area does not inspire confidence, felt unsafe at multiple points. If what you need is a place to put your head down for a night on a budget, it's serviceable. Just don't go exploring the local area too much.

The room smelled fresh and linens were clean. It is obviously an older (probably at least 30 years) motel and had some cosmetic changes due to its age and outdoor room entrances. Staff very nice and I thought it was a good deal for $75. It is however, next to the freeway and with the normal aging process and being an outdoor entrance, the rooms are obviously not sound proof. The AC was quiet and efficient. Again, very nice place for bed and shower, no frills.

room was dated but clean and warm. Shower preseure could have been greater. TV was nice flat screen. Bed was comfy, 4 pillows was nice. Frig/freezer and micro wave good to have. Area was OK, quiet and did not notice folks loitering and such. The bar next door was nice, ate and drank a bit there. Overall if I was in the area again would stay here.

We really enjoyed staying at Starway Inn. The room is obviously older and a little beat up but we didn't care about that one but. We slept great every night and had clean towels brought every day! The restaurant right next door was awesome and super convenient to the highway. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Chicago next year!

When I checked in the guy was really friendly. When I checked out the lady was rude. She got upset because I asked her for a receipt. The room overall was ok. We could not use the shower or tub faucet because both were broken. The bed was like sleeping on a pile of wood. I had surgery on my spine so the pain I was in the next day was unbearable. It is located in a quite area, but I will not stay there ever again.

Convenient budget motel location away from Chicago. Very basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. Free coffee in the check in area was available (no coffee maker in the room). An overhead light was nice but no table lamps by the bed was a bummer. Some nearby eating options such as IHOP. Overall, good enough for a one night stay while passing through

Clerk gave me a little of a hard time trying to purchase water with the same card I booked the room with saying cash only and the vending machines didn’t offer water so I had to go to the quick trip around the corner

I don't recommend this place. Bed was very hard. Air conditioner was loud. Shabby condition in Bath. Not enough parking on one side of facility. Missed a carpeted floor. Was clean though.

This property is rated an 8.0 on Hotels.com. It is not an 8.0. It’s a 3-4, at best. Bottom of the bathroom door was completely rotted out. Serious water damage on the ceiling in multiple places. All lighting and outlets in exposed steel conduit. Black pipe for sprinkler system exposed on the ceiling. You get the drift. Very third world. Staff was nice enough, though.
