Rodeway Inn Waukegan Gurnee

Please read, do not stay here... THIS HOTEL NEED TO BE CLOSE AND INSPECT BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. Cigarette butt, dirty and stained mattress, debris, roaches, mattress was ripped... The list go infinity... Look at the picture, Choice Hotel are the management of this property. I left 15 minutes after I checked in... I asked for refund.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Room smelled musty. We saw about 12 or more cockaroaches after just 20 minutes in the room. Super dirty, not clean at all. Broken drawers. Super outdated. Worst room we have ever stayed at.

This was the worst experience I have ever had when it came to a hotel they had bed bugs roaches the hotel looked at nothing like the pictures it's a trap hotels people standing out walking around drunk selling drugs don't fall for it is dirty it stink I walked in Spring air freshener going down the hall ever you do I give this hotel a negative Stars

If I could give this review less than 1 star, I would. Location: I arrived in the parking lot and drove around the front and side of the building. There were screens missing out of a couple of the room windows. A curtain was blowing through one of the windows. Office: Enter the lobby - there was a lady standing at the front desk complaining that your mate was angry because he found a huge knife in the nightstand, there was not screen on the window and condition of the room was less than satisfactory. I let her finish. Then approached the counter. Advised the lady that I had a reservation. She confirmed it and was a preparing a key card. I requested to see the room first. She gave me the key card, she JUST prepared. No elevator (that I saw) - I was directed to the stairs. Walking up the stairs which were carpeted, the odor was horrible. I already knew it was no-go but figured I will look at the room. Got to room 208 - key card didn't work. Went back downstairs. She decided to give me the master key card because she couldn't get it to work (hmm... that's concerning, right? but ok.) Went back upstairs; entered the room. I barely felt comfortable walking in that room. The carpet smelled of mildew (or at least, I THINK it was the carpet), the TV stand had water damage, the pressed board was coming apart; mildew in the bathrooms; I didn't even bother to lift the spread. Left and advised the front counter, I would not be checking in. Guess what? They charged me a late cancellation fee of one night's room rent. Whatever. I'm out this bih...disgusting place.

The exterior of this motel is very misleading. It looks clean and well cared for on the exterior. Inside is a whole different image. The checkin area has very dark wooden beams as ceiling ornamentation. That sets the mood for the rest of the motel. The lighting in poor, the carpeting is grimmy. The complementary lobby computer is useless and it looks like it has been that way for ages. The room microwave was missing. There is no elevator for the second and third floor. It also seems like they are housing indigents for the local welfare agancy. The are several less than wholesome people staying there.
