Super 8 East Hazel Crest

We stay here whenever we’re in the area. The rooms are cheap and I’m yet to get any sort of bloodborne illness from staying here. During your stay you’ll find other customers roaming the halls offering to sell you drugs or tattoo you illegally in their room. The concession area is well stocked and their frozen novelties are reasonably priced.

Pretty run-​down, but also cheap; we’ve stayed here twice when all we needed was a place to crash overnight, and it did the job. We reserved through Wyndham Rewards, and the check-​in was smooth. The staff are friendly, but the clientele are shady. (Look, at least smoke your illegal substances in a smoking room.) Despite being shabby, it was serviceably clean.

Don’t stay here I booked a king smoking suite and it’s just a regular room with a bigger tv they couldn’t find me a ashtray for my room wifi don’t work in rooms they told me I have to go in the hallway for it to work the place is a dump

This place is certainly lacking from Unilocal reviews. I highly suggest you route yourself directly to this link
for a little schooling. I actually read these reviews before shacking up, but I have a tendency to feel like people are too pretentious. They are, but this place is a whole other world in and of itself. There is absolutely no reason to lose sleep, staying at this place.
I simply do not understand why this hotel is still in operation. Just 200 yards away is it’s carbon-​copy, which is shut down entirely. For whatever reason they are stringing this building along, I don’t understand. Perhaps it’s for the pregnant homeless people the local cop drops off at 11 PM. Perhaps it’s for the drug running happening on the fifth floor. I have no idea where the owner’s head is on this. No one is benefitting from this shit hole. However, i would say that my heart warmed when the drug dealers high five’d the 60+ year old cop who dropped off the homeless woman.
I gave this place one star, cause the high five was priceless. Also – no bed bugs, courteous staff and my car didn’t get broken in to.

A little update…
After contacting Super 8 to express my… ahem…distaste for this branch, the Motel manager emailed me. First email was a pretty standard apology… not really showing that he even gave a damn about my complaint. I wrote back just pointing out some of the things he should be concerned about… not really bashing him, just letting him know why his place sucks. He wrote back that he’s going to refund us the full amount, but THEN went on to be all defensive and completely blamed his customers for why his motel is in shambles. Wha? I can see where maybe you could place the blame for some of your furniture being bad and such… people break things, but hey, don’t blame customers for your place being dirty or stale or smelling like poo. Aren’t you supposed to clean the rooms before every check-​in? Yeah, I don’t think people are breaking into the room before I get there and soiling up the place… peeing on towels… etc. Take some credit and blame for some of this man… not cool.
