Our production company needed a motel room to shoot our creative film, and Crest Motel blew our expectations away! They were unbelievably nice and accommodating, and the rooms were great. We had two rooms for two nights for the shoot, and they were clean, spacious, and very well-kept. Rich is the building manager, and he was extremely helpful for our crew. Overall it was a wonderful experience, we will be back! I would definitely stay here on my own too, very impressed!
No he tenido la oportunidad de hospedarme ahí pero las habitaciones están construyendo tienen una buena vista de muy buen tamaño realmente cerca de las principales autopistas y otros cervicios necesarios...creo que será un lugar realmente interesante.
Rooms were clean, spacious and private. We got there at 2am and needed a place to sleep. Process was easy and water was hot. No complaints.
No frills motel, not a place for families, well water. Old time place, privately owned been, here forever. If you are looking for corportate/ franchised motel with other amenities dont stay here. Cheaper cash rates Low Weekley rates. Nice attentive manager. Microwave in room. Cable and free wifi. Good location right on Lake St. Close to the riverboat.

Professional staff. Frank is amazing!!! He does the best every time I use this place!
Overall, my experience at Crest Motel was positive, and I would definitely consider staying there again in the future. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option in Bartlett, I highly recommend giving this motel a try. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a desk, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom. The microwave provided in the unit was also useful for heating up snacks and drinks. The motel's proximity to Chicago O'Hare International Airport is a definite plus as I was flying out the next day.
We stayed here for the week. Very happy with the stay! Small cute motel with parking outside our room. Manager was extremely nice and rooms were clean. Really ideal because it's next to the train that goes straight to Chicago.
