STARS🌟STARS🌟STARS🌟STARS🌟STARS🌟 So the reason why I say Stars five times is because it feels as if you're looking up to the Stars. These people are so kind it's like visiting a relative. Sometimes we're not satisfied with the smallest things, but they are very easily approachable to acknowledge any of your concerns. If I have one thing to say, this is a place I would love to stay! The experience is more than acceptable it was incredible.

At one point, Rainbow Motel.may have been down, but the new owners are worki g to turn the experience around. What you get: a clean room with TV and a comfortable bed and shower. But, youre also RIGHT across from arguably one of the BEST bakeries in the country (Weber's Bakery -fresh morning sonuts and pastries), around the corner from Chicago's most popular beef sandwich (Portillo's), within a 2 minute walk of several other restaurants as well as an Aldi, Walgreens and Ace Hardware. BUT... the big perk is a stop on the Archer line out front 50' away. (also a late night bus if you do a late Chocago night) and 1.5 mins walk from the OHare (330) bus. These things made it an ideal cheap stay in a clean room for someone who flew in and out with no car for a music festival. It was SUPER easy to get around and time transit. And dont overlook that late night bus perk. That said, if this is a family vacation, do your homework, but it was an easy yes for a single or couple of adults travelling on a budget.

For the price of the room, you pay for what you get. The down side to that is that: the floors were dirty, like actually needing mopped, looked like someone spilled something and it wasn’t cleaned up properly. The sheets needed to look brighter. The bathroom needed a different shower curtain. It was dirty at the bottom. I wish I had taken pictures. I would’ve included them with this review.

My fridge didn’t work, the shower wouldn’t drain, and the sheets were dirty. For $90+ per night, it was not a good experience for me.

Location is okay but the place was terribly dirty: dirty and sticky floor, dust in the bed, sticky stains in the table, and super smelly perfume they use on the bedding and curtains. Not worth the price.

Room was pretty dirty. No clean towels, floors, or sheets. Wondering if they actually clean between guests.

When I get there, the roads were sold out and my money was taken and they told me I cannot get my money back. This is not right.

Our room was so dirty, there were dead bugs on the walls. The drains in the bathroom did not drain, the table we had was sticky, there was old coffee grounds in the coffee maker, and we found underwear in one of the bathroom drawers. We didn’t even sleep under the covers because it felt so gross but the bed was hard and so they gave us was a couple sheets. The walls were dirty the door frames and the floor and stains all over them. There was dirt collecting on every inch of every baseboard. Terrible stay. Only did it for a music festival
