Leslie

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was dirty. We just wanted a place that was clean to be able to sleep and shower. There was crud on the floor of the shower, the sheets were gross, the toilet paper roll was broken, the drain in the sink was clogged, there were cigarette holes in one of the blankets, and the thermostat couldn't be adjusted. We ended up buying a fan and new sheets to get through one of the two nights we booked. We decided to go back home early rather stay the second night.

We saw the bad reviews. We laughed in the face of danger. We booked the room anyway. That was our first mistake. From the moment we stepped inside, disappointment hit us like the smell of stale carpet. The smoke detector dangled from the ceiling like it had given up on life. A chair cushion sported a gaping hole, proudly displaying its stuffing like a bad taxidermy project. The bed linens? A patchwork of holes that could have passed for modern art. After a long day of traveling, we thought a hot shower might wash away our regrets. Turns out, we only had one towel to share. When I went to the front desk to request another, I was met with a firm no—apparently, towels were a rare and valuable resource. But nothing—not the broken furniture, not the towel shortage—could have prepared us for what came after the lights went out. That’s when they appeared. The bugs. So many bugs. When I turned the light back on, at least 30 of them sprinted away from the sink like they were late for a meeting. They were on the tables, the floor, and, most disturbingly, in the bed. We were supposed to stay for three nights. We barely lasted three hours. Do yourself a favor—sleep in your car, pitch a tent, or just embrace insomnia. Anything is better than staying here.

I had become ill the day before my scheduled stay, and I never thought I would miss my stay at the Gurnee Motel, so I didn't buy the suggested travel insurance. I certainly wish I had. Emergencies do come up, and unscheduled illnesses do happen. If they suggest to buy the additional travel insurance you probably should. I wish I had.

Disliked: Amenities
No lights and smoke detector kept chirping. I got my room changed and it was dirty. Saw roaches, spider webs, roaches in spider webs. Smoke detector had a plastic bag on it. Towel was wet before I even used it that's disgusting. Tv was a joke nothing but horrible picture. I would never stay there again after what I stayed through.
