I have stayed at this hotel on 3 occasions in the last several weeks.

The staff here are all excellent. Check in is always speedy, as is airport pick up. There are 6 or 7 hotels on this property: The FFI, A Courtyard and a Full-Service Marriott, a Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Slle Inn and A Holiday Inn Express. They all share a shuttle to and from the airport. There is also a TGIFridays in the Courtyard. The nice thing is that Fridays will do room service, take out AND you can charge to your room if you are a guest in any of the hotels. They have a good happy hour too!

The Marriott also has a full service restaurant but I have not tried it. Prices seem average for a Marriott restaurant.

As for the FFI, the rooms are decent sizes. All are nonsmoking and have the new Marriott beds. LOTS of TV channels if this is important, free internet,etc

The free breakfast in the AM features cereals, Jimmy Dean egg sandwiches, waffles, breads and danish. Honestly, my only complaint is that they need to get some better pastries...maybe muffins or donuts or something.

They do offer a park-n-fly and you can get some decent rates if you are a Marriott rewards member. Rates aren't bad anyway.

AIrport noise isn't bad and the hotel is less noisy than many in which I have stayed. Rooms are clean, staff is attentive and welcoming and you can take the shuttle to the airport and hop on the Orange line to downtown (about 45 minutes to Chicago give or take).

There are a few other places around to eat that are walkable...Giordano's, McDs, BK, White Castle and a few others. Many flight crews stay in these hotels and they were talking about some local bars nearby.

The PACE bus stops right at the edge of the property and it is a short ride to a mall, Target, Wal-Mart and a couple other places.

Overall, a decent place to sllep for an early flight or to visit Chicago if you want to save some money!

  • Liked — Nice staff, good TV variety, not TOO bad to get downtown
  • Disliked — Breakfast could be a little more interesting

We've stayed at this hotel several times now using the "Park & Fly" option. It's great because it's close to Midway, and it's easy to get to (we come from Iowa to Chicago to fly out because it's less expensive). We've tried flying out of O'Hare, but getting to & from the airport and the hotel options, then using the interstates in that area, we always end up getting on the wrong road or something, and all the tollways up that way are just a mess. Midway is much easier to access.

Anyway, this hotel is great for the Park & Fly option. It's very clean, and now that it has been remodeled the rooms are updated nicely. Good beds, and the pool area is nice also. The breakfast opens very early (5am, I believe) for those that need to fly out early. The trolley system to & from Midway is very convenient and easy to use. We've never had to wait long, and the drivers are very courteous. The front desk staff at this hotel are good, check-in is quick and painless with no confusion.

We will continue to use this hotel every time we fly out of Midway, which is generally twice a year for vacation.

  • Liked — Proximity to Midway Airport
  • Disliked — You have to drive through a nasty neighborhood to get there!

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

Under Construction, But Still Nice

5/5 found this review helpful

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.
