Extended Stay America Select Suites - Chicago - Rolling Meadows

I was looking for a nice, quiet, restful 10-day stay and that is exactly what I got!! The room was clean but worn. Everything worked. However, the bathroom sink did plug up over the weekend and they had maintenance take care of it right-a-way. The cable channel selection was quite limited, but then I don't watch much TV. I used the internet quite a bit, which was more than adequate for routine office tasks. Everyone at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, especially with the receiving and holding of my four Amazon deliveries. I love to walk and there is a safe walking path. Walmart, Starbucks and several restaurants are within easy walking distance of the hotel. The Pace 208 bus stops near Walmart and right in front of the hotel. The only negative I experienced is this: I've had quite a few long-term stays at Extended Stay America all over the US, during the last 10 - 15 years, including PA, IL and WI. Every other Extended Stay America had a Grab & Go Breakfast. So, needless to say, I was looking forward to my coffee, Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chip Muffin, oatmeal, etc, in the morning. Unfortunately, this particular hotel stopped serving the Grab & Go Breakfast and that fact should have been made clear in the advertising.

Pot smoking in rooms around mine was less than desirable. People hanging out in front of and on the sides of the building smoking cigarettes and blocking walkways was challenging and undesirable. Poorly lit parking lot for walking in late at night. The GFI outlet in the bathroom was out of order. I was inconvenienced for 1.5 hours of waiting for maintenance to replace it. I have stayed in Extended stay hotels in the past, this one will be last on my list in the future, which is too bad as you are very close to my place of business that I travel to quarterly for a week each time. Finding out when I arrived that there were NO kitchen utensils, pots and pans was not what I expected. Being there for a week I expected to be able to eat and cook in the room as I have done in other Extend Dtay properties; kind of defeats the purpose of "extended stay" purpose. That info should be more prominent on your website. I made it through the week as I could not find another local hotel to move to but was glad when the week was over. The one thing I will give props to is the two employees that I encountered almost daily throughout my stay. They were very nice and tried to accommodate me as best as they could with what they had to work with. Thank you!

I stayed here a few years ago and it was OK then... Now it's pretty bad... It's clear they cater to thier long term residents. They have eliminated thier breakfast, not that it was worth bragging about. Room was OK, most of the channels on the TV didn't work. We made reservations for 4 nights, we left after 1 night.

I liked the fact that the Property was tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Staff went above and beyond in giving Me info before I checked in, and explaining certain things that became helpful throughout the weekend.

Quiet, safe

No breakfast or morning coffee was disappointing, and take out your own trash was a joke !
