In the late 70's The A.Motel was owned by my classmate's mother. My father used to read the messages on their Sign out loud every time we drove by (and chuckle). I remember one said "Streaking Is Petering Out." www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2013/03/06/gold-coast-madam-tells-all
I went there with my boyfriend. in 1982. I was 16 years old . He was 21. I am 51 now, not with THAT GUY. I still remember the mirrors on the ceiling. This was a strange place for me. I never went there again.
I have memories from the 80's . My boyfriend was offered a room with a girl,He was 21. I was 16. We refused the girl. I know there was drugs & drinkinginvolved. unfortunately I got the bad side of this situation. I will never tellanyone what happened to me that night. I am 51 years old , and so happy tosee that place BURNED TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the day this was a party spot. Owners never checked IDs so at 16,17 we would rent a room and party with 10-15 buddies. Miskas in Glendale Heights wouldn’t ID for alcohol so we’d buy our liquor there. The rooms were so gross. You would find condoms, needles, crack pipes and sometimes porn laying around. We used to call it party at the happy nap.
I actually stayed here once after I blacked out at a local party I somehow ended up at. I woke up with something jabbing me in the back. I looked under the mattress and it was a broken car antenna packed with chore stabbing me in the back. I woke up next to a head of black hair turned away from me. I debated whether to just sneak out and leave because I was afraid as to who it was I was waking up to. I was so gone the night before I would have tossed it into anyone at that point. Fat, ugly, whatever, as long as it's all warm and squishy. Should have left because it was my best friends wife. After asking around it turned out she showed up to the same party alone, saw I was faded, got me even more drunk and insisted on taking me home. Instead she took blacked-out me to the affair motel to... well... have an affair. Of course it was all my fault and he cut me off in favor of staying with the wife (who kept cheating on him for years before he walked away.) I've had a long messed up life man...
I lived right by it, and my old catholic was even like a block away. One day we found it burnt down. It was kind of terrifying when we found out about worshipping and stuff because we used to tell stories about ghosts who “lived” there. Thank god i moved!😂😂
As someone who lives in Addison as a freshman in highschool this year trying to find spots in Addison to just go to and probably get hurt and have fun gets hard after you explore and exhaust so much of the towns spots so there not as fun
I met Rose Laws when I was 16. I did not know who she was at the time. My boyfriend was 21, I was standing next to him when he paid for 2 hours. They never checked ID's . We brought a 6 pack of Old Style , & a half pint of rum for me with a can of cola.I remember the mirrors on the walls & ceiling. The place was a whorehouse. I was so happy to sleep in my beautiful bed at home.I never told my family about going to this place. He was NOT my first love, but at least he took me to a cheap place. LOL Oh well
lmao,only at the addison motel could you rent by the hour,day,or week. we used to party there as teenagers because they never checked ids. youd open the dresser and find needles and crack pipes. look under the bed,used condoms and dildos. place was disgusting. we slept on the comforter. at 16 it was cool to have 10 buddies and gfs partying in a "safe" spot.love those days but that place was the most disgusting hotel/motel ive EVER experienced
My final comments on why this place burned down. It was a Jewish Barbeque, Which means burned down by the owners. It was rented to people who did not check electricalregulations. It was squatters who smoked drugs. I welcome anyone's opinion.
Damn, just throwing locations out like it doesn't matter. Great video though, I went at nighttime, it is freaky especially when there's coyotes outside the place.
Appreciate the support!! However, a quick google search with 3 keywords of “abandoned”, “Addison”, and “motel”, would lead you to the exact address of this location on yelp.
When I went the first week of December, that door they entered through had that fake glass on but was also boarded up. We went through a different door that had a board leaning against it. It led into a room with a window with no glass or a board covering it. You can see at 4:34 - 4:35 it was boarded up in this video.
All of the above! Haha. I just said it cause I accidentally ran into a metal bar. With the condoms and porn all over the place, an STD is definitely cause for concern.
How funny how an old house or hotel when the power is out and abandoned how creepy we in our minds make it out to be....”look at all these mirrors dude” Oh how creepy. Funny
I have a theory about that room that seemed as though that somebody had dabbled with black magic in, I think it’s possible someone did practice black magic in there, but I think someone else had put the Bible’s there. Although, I’ll also say this, I have never seen any satanic symbols that resembled the one that was on the floor. So who knows what actually happened there lol
Burned to the ground this morning, live a few blocks away from here.

Room 12 when I heard on tv that princess Diana died
I drove by the Addison Motel today, on my way to Chicago. The property was entirely fenced and a huge bulldozer was tearing it down.
Back in the day this was a party spot. Owners never checked IDs so at 16,17 we would rent a room and party with 10-15 buddies. Miskas in Glendale Heights wouldn’t ID for alcohol so we’d buy our liquor there. The rooms were so gross. You would find condoms, needles, crack pipes and sometimes porn laying around.

Private info I must know u from back in the day???lol

Creepy hotel but cool exploring thanks for the tour 👍

Someone burnt it down this morning
Thomas Kolodziej that stinks. I’m sad to see it go.
So it was burnt down on purpose?! 🤭
Yeah I would think so
Jenny Perez pretty sure it would be profitable for the owners since insurance would pay. Something is being build at the time im writing this comment!
Two other of their famous signs by the road:
"Happiness is coming"
"Captain Hook needs a hand job"
The motel is an eye sore and I don’t know why it’s never been knocked down. It’s disgustingly creepy!!
Im not sure either! Really glad it wasn't though, I loved exploring it!

Thats crazy! I believe it though, this place was really creepy. Cool to hear from someone that saw it when it was in business.
Dave Strauss, I am making a video about the Addison motel, can I use your comment in my video?
I'm sure places on Manheim are far worst

TacoJosh has allways blowing up spots he’s given himself a bad name by many, word spreads quick.

AbandoNation and look at the coincidence it’s boarded up because of you my friends told me
When I went the first week of December, that door they entered through had that fake glass on but was also boarded up. We went through a different door that had a board leaning against it. It led into a room with a window with no glass or a board covering it. You can see at 4:34 - 4:35 it was boarded up in this video.
I've seen those coyotes. They come out on the ramp every now and then.
Awesome video! I don't know if you know but the Addison Motel burned down today.
This place just burnt down today
I stayed here when Juan Carrera was murdered at the speedway gas station back in 1995
Was he killed by los zetas cartel
5:58 min bed had mirrors every bed best bang bed ever back in the day
I would see that place every day on my way to work holy shit creepy asf 😳
You were worried about tetanus...it's STDs that you really need to watch out for at the Addison motel!
All of the above! Haha. I just said it cause I accidentally ran into a metal bar. With the condoms and porn all over the place, an STD is definitely cause for concern.
I kind of want to know whats on any and all of these tapes you see in abandoned places.
The vhs tapes? It was all pornography vhs tapes at this location.
AbandoNation Damn you never know what you could find! Could one day find something big that'd be so cool!
What is the address
How funny how an old house or hotel when the power is out and abandoned how creepy we in our minds make it out to be....”look at all these mirrors dude”
Oh how creepy. Funny
counterintuitive for the devil worshipers XD
I know! It just seemed kind of out of place.
I mean what do you expect from a motel?
nice video
I have a theory about that room that seemed as though that somebody had dabbled with black magic in, I think it’s possible someone did practice black magic in there, but I think someone else had put the Bible’s there. Although, I’ll also say this, I have never seen any satanic symbols that resembled the one that was on the floor. So who knows what actually happened there lol
Kinda wanna learn black magic
OOO SHITTT I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THAT ISSS
Maybe the owners set it on fire to collect insurance money 🤔

Or to cover this shit up.
