Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Schaumburg, IL

6/10 Okay

"Tv was stuck at a high volume. The sidewalks were pretty bad, I stumbled a few different times. Our room was in the middle of what seemed to be a family party/reunion which was pretty loud for a while "

Comfort Inn & Suites Arlington Heights - Schaumburg

4/10 Poor

"They apparently started remodeling this hotel but only did it halfway. The sink and floor of the bathroom were nice, but the shower was one of the worst I have seen - worn and nasty looking, and there was a place on the shower wall where the shampoo and conditioner had been ripped off and it had not been repaired. I would have avoided stepping foot in the shower if I could have. The carpet in the room had what I assume were permanent stains. Breakfast was pretty basic, not much to it. When I spoke to the manager about the condition of the shower he basically said it was out of his control and that is why the price is cheap. "
