Motel 6 Chicago Ohare - Schiller Park

The room was exactly as pictured. It is VERY orange. It is convenient to O'Hare and to the Donald E Stephens Convention Center. The bed was comfortable. The front desk staff l were professional and assisted with any questions that I had about the area. The Denny's next door has some of the friendliest staff that I have ever encountered. It is also convenient for any meal. I knew from previous reviews that there was not a hair dryer, so I purchased a travel sized one. I would stay here again, but I would definitely pay extra for a room with a fridge (available on the Motel 6 website, not booking's) due to the lack of the ice machine working. I bought ice at the Shell gas station across the street and used the sink to keep drinks cold.

Please note: You can NOT cross River road to take the bus back and forth (to DES or back to the CTA) as there is not a crosswalk. The traffic on River Road is constant. I had planned on taking the bus back and forth for a convention. Due to the lack of the crosswalk, I walked the mile back and forth. The bus only runs about once an hour on the weekends. In the future, I would use Uber, which I did for getting back to the Rosemont CTA to catch my flight home. Uber was $10 one way from the motel to the CTA Rosemont station. Either the bathroom ceiling had mold or a previous leak. The toilet seat was loose. The king size bed only had two pillows - okay for one person, but for two maybe not. If you are a light sleeper, you might not want to stay here or bring earplugs. They are directly below the incoming flight path of most airlines, so it gets loud. Also, there is a lot of noise from traffic. The ice machine wasn't working. As with most low end motels, the walls are thin so you hear everything. Despite the lack of a crosswalk and noise, I would stay here again simply because of the price is far less than the hotels that are across from DES and how great the Denny’s staff were.
