This hotel is a very typical, fairly new Fairfield Inn & Suites. I was granted an upgrade to a suite, which was the typical Fairfield suite layout. The only real difference was NO FLATSCREENS. I guess you could say I am spoiled to the Marriott flatscreens. The pool is inside, and usually full of kids. However, the kids were not a bother here as I never noticed them, except in the pool. The hotel is located in the Midway Airport Hotel Center which has about six or seven hotels of different qualities in a very small space. There is a shuttle which will take you to the airport and presumably other nearby locations such as the "L" stations. The staff is friendly if not "just there". There is no market at this location so expect to walk across the parking lot to the Courtyard or TGIFriday's if you need a late night snack or drink. The business center consists of ONE computer so don't expect to use it very often. There is no view to speak of from any of the rooms, unless you like watching planes land. Speaking of planes, although the hotel is within shouting distance of MDW, I never heard an airplane from my room. Traffic on Cicero is horrible at times so don't expect to get anywhere fast. However, Giordano's is about 2 blocks away which is a nice little treat for this part of town. Also, a White Castle is 2 or 3 blocks away.
The bad news...my room had several spots of damage. The wall next to the computer chair had many tears in the wall paper, I guess from the chair bumping against the wall. The soap dish in the shower had mold all around the caulking. And, worst of all, my toilet stopped working on day two....but to the staffs credit, was fixed by the time I got home from work the next day. All in all, a nice hotel for the price, about $130 per night.
