Motel 6 Prospect Heights, IL

Motel 6 Prospect Heights, IL

10/10 Excellent
"From beginning to end this property exceeded my expectations. It was easy to find and despite being next to an airport it was surprisingly very quiet. The window in the room opened and we were able to leave it open all night and listened to the crickets. It was great! The parking lot was spacious and very well lit. Check in was quick friendly and easy. Room was spotless. We didn’t need much so the room was just what we were looking for. Clean spacious and comfortable. Water pressure was perfect. Laundry facilities were nice. Ice machine worked well. Vending machines were stocked with variety of selection. Motel didn’t have pool or breakfast and that was just fine by us. It was a very nice simple place to stay. We’ll be back and we will recommend it to our friends and family. It was about a 40 minute drive to/from downtown Chicago."
