Days Inn Alsip

If I could leave less than 1 star, I would. For starters the room is dark, old, and filthy. The TV looks older than I am. The carpets were dirty, the smoke alarm was removed, and the whole bathroom was peeling with the drain cover missing. Although I asked for a non-​smoking room, the room stank of cigarettes. A classic example of you get what you pay for.

Awful. Absolutely horrific. Health code violations to boot! If I could leave less than one star, I would.
I booked a room here through Priceline because the prices were cheap (under $ 100/​night) and we just needed somewhere to stay close to the airport for our early morning flight. We called the hotel the day prior to let them know we’d be checking in very late at night. They suggested we call before midnight and just check in by phone. Cool.
Well, if only things went that smoothly. Beginning at 10pm the day of check in we tried to call no less than a dozen times, about every ten minutes until we arrived shortly after midnight. No one picked up. We worried that the 24 hour desk service was actually a lie… But no, there was someone there, he just chose not to answer the phone. We check in and went up to our room only to discover that it was not the room we originally reserved (two double beds instead of a king bed, and smoking instead of non smoking). We went back down to the desk to see if we were assigned the wrong room only to be told that this was the only remaining room. If you can’t get the room you reserved, what’s the purpose of a reservation?!
We went back upstairs. Fun surprises: no working toilet (completely did not flush); even when off, the television made an annoying buzzing sound and the plug was unreachable; the faucet handles easily came detached from the faucet; the heating/​cooling unit had a broken temperature control and was unable to produce heat; audible leaking of the bathroom pipes/​faucet. It was like some kind of torturous hell where everything you try/​need broken. I didn’t even bother to test the shower… Even at 2am there were people shouting outside the rooms and in the parking lot. Oh, and the wifi was essentially nonexistent.
I will be reporting the toilet situation to the local health department as it is a direct violation of code.
In short, DO NOT WASTE THE MONEY, YOU’D BE BETTER OFF SLEEPING IN YOUR CAR, or spending an extra $ 10 and spending the night somewhere comfortable.
Edit: I have filed a complaint with the IL Better Business Bureau and will summarily contact the health department… Am waiting for a response.

The front desk staff (one of the ladies, don’t know her name) was very rude and unhelpful. The motel is ok if you are in transit and planning to stay just one night.

Wow… all I can say is wow… the price is good, but then that’s it. The wifi is free because you can’t get a signal in your room. Poor cable reception. No full breakfast. Our bathroom came with the latest technology in that the ahower curtqin was being held up by 2 screws making it the first adjustable shower curtain in history.
But what do you expect being in the outside of chicago. Our room wasnt even cleaned when we got there. Trash from prior occupants still in room

DON’T DO IT! Sleeping in your car in the Sam’s Club parking lot is much cleaner, more comfortable and safer. If I could give this place a –5 stars, I would. I made and paid for a reservation a week in advance. I never thought about reading the reviews. My ignorance caused my dissatisfaction and dismay.
I arrived pretty late and I was exhausted from traveling. There was a hand written note taped on the front window that said, SOLD OUT. Good thing for me that I had a reservation. (Or so I thought) I just wanted to get my room key, shower and slumber.
The first room I was given, #160, was nasty, dirty, smelly and unclean. Pizza boxes in the trash, food left on the desk, bed unmade with soiled sheets, tv left on, air conditioner still running, dirty towels on the floor and deposits left in the toilet unflushed. Well dang, did they go out for beer? Will they be returning? Are they using MY reservation???
I complained and received another room. No apology, just another room. They had no more king size beds available a only double room was left. It’s now after 11pm. Ok, I’m tired, whatever…
Room #112. It’s dank, it stank, it’s old, and the carpet is in need of a run through the local car wash. (I know it will never be replaced).
The 20 y/​o tv is larger and heavier than my 48 pound suitcase, the lamp shades are ALL busted and the walls are filthy. Foot prints, azzzz prints, oily… ewwww. I called a few places praying for a vacancy, nada…(The Hotel Gods were probably asleep, or playing craps)
The bathroom needs a makeover and it’s half azzzz clean, but doable. (Toilet and shower clean. Dust and dirt caked in the corners.)
Heading to the shower, I dropped my shower cap… I picked it up and what the??? Are those semen stains on the carpet? Upon further examination with the naked eye and my naked body wrapped in a towel, that shower cap is tossed in the trash!
I shower and pull the quilt back to sit on the bed and the sheets are soiled. Make up stains on one pillow case with body and feet stains on the sheets… ugh…How did they make up a dirty bed?
I pull back the quilt off of the second bed, a sigh of relief, this one is clean. The sheets are wrinkled worse than a roadmap refolded a thousand times, but still clean.
I go to place the security latch on the door and its MIA. Who broke off the damnnnn security latch?
I called the front desk (from my cell phone) and asked to check out with a full refund and was refused. With nowhere else to go and being a tourist in an unfamiliar place, I said my prayers, went to bed with wet hair and tried to get some sleep.
That didn’t work… the ac was loud and clunky. Every time it clicked, my eyes shot straight to the front door in fear that someone was trying to gain access.
People hung out drinking on the balcony, listening to music and talking loudly until 4:30 am.
At 7am I went for breakfast. Just me and senior citizens there. Weak coffee, watered down Apple and orange juice, Fit & Active yogurt (i googled it… it’s Aldi’s brand yogurt.), boneless bananas (yes, I said boneless… I’ve lost all trust in this establishment and if I had encountered a banana with bones, it would not have surprised me), white, wheat and raisin bread, pre made/​freeze dried waffles & factory wrapped honey buns.
I grabbed 2 honey buns, went back to my room, got my belongings, complained to deaf ears, checked out, hit the road and NEVER LOOKED BACK.
I’m not sure when/​where Day’s Inn went south, but after voicing my disgust via social media, toll free #, email and face to face with no care or concern, they are no longer entitled to partake in any of my hard earned money E-​V-​E-​R!!¡¡!!!

This place is straight up nasty. I should have stayed at Double Tree. Everything here looks dirty and unkept. They need to shut it down ASAP.

Don’t stay here… Dirty carpet, bathroom sink faucet fell off, steel wool placed behind the toilet… rats maybe… Aka… Bates Motel if you will and at your own risk. Doubletree next door is the best option! In addition no internet as advertised. What a dump!!!

Don’t stay here. Rooms have bugs

We checked into this hotel a little late and it was a very clean room. I did not sleep real well though because of a busy highway right next to the hotel. I also was not happy that they did not have wireless internet. This is a must for me after a long day at work, especially when i’m out of town. They did have a wireless connection in there lobby, but its away from your room and a hassle. I would stay here again bit but only in a room farther away from the highway. The continental was pretty sad as well. the powdered milk was warm, and the orange juice was spitting out watered down OJ. The donuts they had looked they came from little debbie for a quarter at the gas station. If it means anything my supervisor thought this place was great, but he lacks taste.

Manager was a bit rude. Wake up to find car covered in white powder. Was told someone was messing with a fire ex. Had to go to a funeral in the morning. Was not in the mood to fight but no offer to get me a car wash.
Room was ok. Suppose to have wireless but had to connect to Double Tree next door. Proof I should of stayed there.

Well the room was insanely cheap so I couldn’t give it one star…
But this place is pretty much a dump – and it doesn’t look like it from the front, so don’t be fooled! I will not be returning and these are the main reasons…
1. Room smelled
2. TV had terrible reception
3. Our room card did not work around 2 in the morning so we had to go to the lobby and it was a problem with other people in the lobby as well
4. The ice machine didn’t work, but the guy in the lobby gave us a full bag of ice for no charge
5. The place was dirty and just had odd things sitting around outside of the rooms (i.e., old chair, rusty grill)
Go to the Double Tree Hotel next door – it is sooo much nicer. The only reason why we got stuck here is because the place was completely booked.
