I was quite impressed with my recent stay at this hotel. It isn't the prettiest from the outside and the shuttle isn't the fastest, but for the price I don't think you could beat it. I have to say though, the guy driving the shuttle was nice enough to drop me off at the blue line metro across the street when it was raining. I booked my stay on Orbitz with a vacation package. I'll just say I know my plane ticket was $188 and my total for a four day stay ended up being $239. The free wireless in the rooms was great! Be warned though, for some reason when you log onto wireless it cuts off after three days. If you stay longer you'll need to call the helpline and get them to reconnect you. The room was very cozy, best hotel bed I've slept on in quite a while. I had a few problems during my trip (all my fault) and the guy at the front desk was relentless in helping me out. Downtown Chicago is about a 30 minute metro ride, not a bad ride at all. There is also a Dominicks grocery store, seven eleven and Outback Steakhouse very closeby.

I enjoy my stay at the Chicago Holiday inn .
Really had a cheap, confortable and relaxing stay
Recommendable 100% for businessmen.

Booked this hotel thru the parksleepfly.com for $89. Was surprised by how nice it was. The hotel appears to be an older hotel but is very clean and newly decorated. The bed was a king bed with a soft feather comforter and many pillows. Very comfortable. Bathroom was very large. Had a few drinks at the bar which were pricey but we had expected that. Staff was very friendly.

Shuttle took as to the airport at 4 am (runs every 1/2 hour). The only complaint would have to be that we had to wait over 40 minutes to get picked up when we got back. We were at the international pickup area and you need to call to get picked up there. I think we may have called just as he was heading back and therefore had to wait for him to come back again.

Parking is behind the hotel (has entrance to hotel) on the upper floor of a 2 story ramp. This is covered parking but we were told to park on top.

I booked this hotel through booking.com and paid 58 USD (with taxes) on a friday night. If you want a place that is close to Ohare airport this is the place to be for the price. Theres a lot of hotels by ohare and Ive stayed in quite a few but again for the value and quality you cant beat this place. The rooms had a microwave, ref and was really clean.

My biggest problem is that the wireless connection did not work with my laptop. It requires a device ownership password, the hotel enginner spent half an hour figuring it out and the tech support spent almost an hour and they cant figure it out. It was the first time I came across that issue with a wireless connection from a hote. I cannot fault the hotel for this because they went out of their way to accomodate me. The manager gave me an option to check out without being charged or use his wired connection but I had to go down in the lobby to do so. If it werent for that this place would be perfect. They also have a computer at the lobby for use at 49centts a minute, thats high!

Yes you can hear the planes but it was not a big deal for me and im a light sleeper.

Between a Days Inn, La Quinta or other hotels of that level, go for this hotel.
