Hometowne Studios By Red Roof Chicago - Waukegan

Review by hotel critic

As a seasoned traveler with a discerning palate, I recently had the opportunity to experience Hometowne Studios during my visit to the United States. The value proposition of this establishment is a noteworthy aspect that cannot be overlooked.Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly and helpful front desk staff, showcasing a genuine warmth that eased the check-in process. However, the lack of cleanliness in the rooms was a significant disappointment. The stained sheets and unsanitary microwave and refrigerator detracted from the overall comfort of the stay. The prevalent smell of cigarette smoke, coupled with noise disturbances from outside, also negatively impacted the experience. While the amenities such as the comfortable beds, satisfactory showers, and efficient heating provided some solace, the inconveniences of broken box springs, limited housekeeping services, and frequent issues with room keys detracted from the overall appeal of the hotel.In terms of cost versus luxury, Hometowne Studios leans heavily towards affordability. However, the compromises made in terms of cleanliness and maintenance indicate that the value offered may come at the expense of a truly luxurious experience. Therefore, for those seeking budget-friendly accommodation with basic amenities, Hometowne Studios could be considered, but be prepared to make some concessions in terms of comfort and ambiance.
