Chicago Hotel Guide - 1 star Red Carpet Inn Hotels in Chicago, Illinois

From the outside, this motel looks questionable. It clearly needs updates to the building structure and could use a good coat of paint. Location is okay but there really isn't anything close by except a restaurant that shares the parking lot but it looked too sketchy for us to go in. The room was listed as non-smoking but was VERY STINKY. It smelled like cigarettes and weed so we went to Walmart and bought a candle which made it tolerable. The room had a microwave and fridge that was cold when we arrived. The room was clean. We booked the hotel to be close to Six Flags and Gurnee Mills which it was only about 10 minutes away so I can't complain there. The continental breakfast left much to be desired; danishes, instant oatmeal, and coffee with powder cream. No fruit, bagels, toast, or jam, nothing hot, and nothing else to drink like milk, juice, or water. Overall, it wasn't the worst motel I've ever stayed in and it wasn't horrible for the low rate but next time I'll pay a little more to be in a better place.
