spent 4 nights here over canadian civic holiday (1st weekend in aug) the renovations were complete and we actually got invited to an opening reception ( the kids got little pillow squishees) Room was clean and average in size. The pool is salt water which is a bit weird. We had trouboe with the hot tub. one day it wasn;t hot enough, the next day it was so hot that it turned our skin bright red. towels seemed to be in short supply at the pool too. -check before you get in.
There was a trolley that takes you to the airport where you can catch the L train downtown- we did this for 3 days and enjoyed the trip. The tolley drivers were very nice.
The mexican place across the road was inexpensive and quite good. As was the hotdog stand acorss the road

This is an interesting property, located about 5 minutes south of Midway Airport. There is a large cluster of hotels sharing a common lot, including a Holiday Inn express, Hilton Graden Inn and three brands of Marriott -a mainline Marriott, a Courtyard, and a Fairfield Inn.

This Fairfield was one of the nicer ones I've been at - very close to a Courtyard in room size and layout, with interior halls. The free breakfast options were very nice, waffles, hard boiled eggs, breakfast sandwiches, and other continental options.

Transportation to and from Midway is via a free 24 hour shuttle. I waited about 10 minutes for it at the airport and it was on call when I needed to depart from the hotel.

At the time of my stay, there was significant construction going on in the lobby area and I'm not sure if there were other areas impacted as well.

Room Internet access was via a free wireless hotspot.

Other than a lack of sitdown restaurant, I can't imagine why one would choose the Courtyard across the street over this property. There were numerous eating establishments in the area for take out or dine in service.
