La Quinta Inn Chicago Arlington Heights Hotel

Rooms Terrible : Unclean Stained Sheets, bad housekeeping

Staff Terrible : Rude, unhelpful.

Lot of Thefts & Untoward incidents

Over by Navy Pier, hotel parking was 22 dollars per night in addition to the hotel room fee.

For a cheap stay in Chicago, Gabrielle and I chose La Quinta for about 60 dollars which included breakfast. We liked the decor and privacy.

No stunning views of the Gold Coast or Lake Michigan here, but it is only minutes from O'Hare Airport.

The location was good. The parking lot was not well cleaned. There was a problem with the room that was not corrected causing me to depart this hotel. The WiFi would not work.

I recently stayed at this La Quinta Inn, and what a mistake that was. When I entered my "non-smoking" room it reeked of cigarette smoke and that was just the beginning. I peeked in the bathroom and although it was clean, there was nothing provided, not even a tiny bottle of shampoo. Luckily, I usually bring my own, and it was fortunate that I did.

I'd have to say the worst part was that when I pulled the blanket back, the sheets appeared to be clean, but the underside of the blanket had a large dark brown stain on it. It was not a pleasant experience. If I had to say something positive though, I would mention that they provided breakfast and it was very tasty.

The mattresses were saggy and the sheets were ill fitting. I found a woman's shoe in the room at check-in.
