Skylark Motel Chicago Midway Airport 2009.10.20
Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Dump"

Reviewed by rick of denver on Oct 20, 2009

This is the worst "hotel" I've ever seen. When I walked in about 5-6 people walked in behind me and asked if they had "hourly" rates. People were in the parking lot drinking beer from the back of a pickup.

Not recommended Trip type: All Others "I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL"

Reviewed by Christine of Westminster on Jun 14, 2008

Our room smelled like smoke and mold. We had holes in the walls and broken door knobs. There were stains on the only chair in the room. We found hair on our sheets. The closet door frame was broken, not to mention paint splatter on bed head board, bathroon floor and other areas of the furniture like it was slopped on, which gave the room a horrible over all look. Last but not least, thank goodness kids were not with us because there was inappropriate tv at our disposal in which we did not order.

It's a 1.5 star hotel, and thats what you get, you go in expecting 2 free bottles of water and room service then look somewhere else, the place was run down and not the prettiest thing to look at, but it's quite and $25 to get down town.

I spent one night at the Skylark and it was a good value for the money, considering it's Chicago. The room was clean and the surroundings were quiet. I got a good night's sleep.

Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Terrible"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 16, 2007

This hotel was terrible. It reminded me of the movie "Vacancy". There were holes in the walls that were poorly covered up. The first channel we turned to on the TV was a homemade porno. I'm glad we brought sheets, blanket and pillows because I did not want to touch the bed! Our impression of the hotel was a place that some people would go to for a couple of hours. The hotels.com rep told me that they didn't have any bad reviews on this hotel, which was not true. There are a few bad reviews right on hotels.com. I was not happy with the hotel, nor was I happy with the misrepresentation of hotels.com.

Reviewed by Jeff of Nashville, TN on Apr 27, 2007

I was concerned about the noise of the jets passing overhead so close by, but I could barely hear them over the noise of the traffic and sirens. On the other hand, although the room wasn't 'pretty', it WAS clean . .. and the staff was polite.
