IL Chicago Suburbs Country Inn And Suites By Carlson Roselle

[comet52]

I got this for $41/night for 4 nights starting February 13th. It was a newer Country Inn and bigger than most, 4 stories high and wide/large. It sits on a hill with a huge parking lot setback north of the main road. Coming from the east it's almost impossible to see until you're nearly past it. I was given a room that was noisy - this is always my issue when traveling. Constant t.v. or mechanical noise will drive me nuts and I will ask to move every time. The lady at the desk was very accomodating and upgraded me to a king suite on the top floor. Very nice! Big flat screens in both the living room and bedroom, hard-wired internet that was very fast. Fridge, microwave, very comfortable overall. Only problem - it was still quite cold out and for some reason all along the bedroom wall it was very cold/drafty. The room had a vent unit with a blower in a closet instead of a wall/window a/c. It was still noisy and took a long time to get the room warm. It was kind of a struggle all week to keep the climate regulated due to this and the cold leakage I couldn't quite pin down the source of. I suspected cheap construction and poor insulation in the wall. Maybe some contractor cutting corners.

They had the typical hotel free breakfast which I might not have even tried once, can't recall. They have no snack stand like a lot of places do now and very limited vending. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, a good 15 miles west of O'Hare. I actually wanted to be much closer in and added this area as a rebid zone thinking I would get a property that I sort of deduced was available in Elmhurst. So I sort of took a hit by ending up out in Roselle, but that is all part of us Priceline beggars not being able to be choosers :) Overall I'd rate this as a typical Country Inn, my stays there are usually very satisfying, my only issue was being so far from anywhere but that is not anyone's fault, it's just the luck of the Priceline draw which I'm used to by now. Sometimes you get very lucky too.
