Chain: Extended StayAmerica
If you're looking for long-term accommodations outside of the city, particularly for the northern suburbs, the Extended StayAmerica Chicago - O'Hare might be the choice for you. Extended stay hotels cater to the guest staying a week or longer. They have more in-room features to help you feel like you have a true home away from home. You're given separate areas for cooking, sleeping, living and working to take away some of the hotel feel. At this particular location, pets are welcome. Unfortunately, extended stay hotels don't offer the same cleaning service. This hotel provides a once-a-week cleaning where linens are changed, towels traded out, toiletries refilled, carpet vacuumed and furniture dusted. You can pay a small fee for partial or full service on days that you need it, but no one does dishes, and there are facilities on-site for guests to do things like their own laundry.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Billed as an airport hotel, ExtendedStay doesn't offer many of the services to adequately fulfill their title. They have no shuttle service, and are roughly 45 minutes from Downtown Chicago. They are close to public transportation and affordable daily parking, but may not be a reasonable choice for people with the city as their destination. Beyond that, several guests were unhappy with the services they did provide. Cleaning between guests was hit and miss. The internet service, though affordable, was not always reliable, and some people suffered from boredom. A series of mysterious, unpleasant smells and billing problems make this hotel less of a value. Read our customer reviews?
Rooms come with full-size kitchens with their own appliances. Refridgerator, microwave, stovetop, toaster and coffee or tea makers are standard. You have a television with VCR or DVD player, and sitting room furniture. In addition, you have a work space with desk, phone, plug-ins and data port.
Though extended stay accommodations are designed to help you feel as though you're staying in your own apartment, they do provide many services that apartments do not. For a small fee, you have access to wireless high-internet access. Complimentary local calls and personalized voice mail help you do business from your homebase. Cleaning services come in once a week, more upon reqest, and there are facilities on-site for guests to take care of many of their own needs. The front desk is open daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and offers everything from dish soap samples to mail delivery. Extended StayAmerica strives to maintain the balance of service and solitude at their long-term lodging.
