Very nice, affordable option for staying in Chicago. Free shuttle to/from MDW and you can catch the Orange line el from there to go downtown. Granted, the downtown Sheratons have the location, but they also cost three or four times as much as this one. Free Internet access (with printers) in lobby for those without laptops. Some reviewers have commented negatively on the neighborhood, but I found nothing wrong with it. The hotel borders a major shopping center. Costco is across the street. Cicero Avenue is lined with new hotels and restaurants. Plenty of options within walking distance.

I had the opportunity to reserve two (2) rooms at the Four Points – Sheraton Chicago Midway on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 for a family funeral. Those in my party were traveling from Minnesota and Wisconsin and needed a hotel for the evening. I looked into many of the properties around the Midway Airport area…where I needed to be (57th & Pulaski) and found the properties either booked OR very expensive for one night…between $200 and $259 per night. Not wanting to spend that much, I chose to go online and see what was available nearby. Just going a few extra blocks past the Midway Centre, I was able to locate the Four Points – Sheraton and got two (2) rooms for about $129 each!

The two rooms were very clean and comfortable. The lobby was small but nice and the 24-hour restaurant on site, which my family used to have dinner around 10PM that night, was very good and the service friendly. The beds in the rooms were the standard “high quality” beds you’d find in most Sheraton hotels. While the neighborhood felt safe…it certainly was nothing to look at and I would not recommend this property for a family getaway. The size of the bathroom was small but very clean. After reading some of the negative reviews on Trip Advisor, I was concerned with cleanliness of the bathroom and facility, but following our arrival, I did not observe any poor conditions I had read about in previous reviews. One disappointment was the wireless internet which was extremely weak in my room…while complimentary to guests…I got dropped repeatedly.

I felt the rooms were very comfortable for what I was looking for and by driving another mile on Cicero Avenue we saved a great deal of money. I would recommend the Four Points – Sheraton for any business traveler or someone looking for a stay before leaving from Chicago Midway Airport.

The last night of my stay there was no TV for the entire evening due to a rain storm affecting their satellite dish and then to top off the evening, a large cockroach crawled out of the bathroom sink drain while I was brushing my teeth. Yuk! When I called the front desk, I was told that it was probably just a water bug & it would not hurt me. I encountered another very large cockroach on my shower curtain the next morning so I captured it under a glass in the bathtub to prove that the room had cockroaches. I was given a $30 discount off of my room rate on the last night of my stay and an apology as compensation for the cockroaches! I sent an e-mail to Sheraton and was told that I had been fairly compensated for the problem. I will not be staying there in the future!

We stayed here because we needed to fly out of Midway. The hotel is not in an elegant neighborhood and our room overlooked a giant paper company warehouse facing east.

Our room was clean, small but fine for 2 of us. A big plus was the computer with printer in the lobby. I had no computer with me and needed to print boarding passes 24 hours before our flight.

We swam in the pool and it was clean and refreshing on a hot day. The staff was very respectful and friendly and our room service portions were huge. The ice machine on the 5th floor was broken but everything else worked, including the iron. I usually do not use hotel toiletries because of the frangrance but the ones at this hotel were citrus without being too much. Very nice.

We drove to the Museum of Science and Industry from here and it took a long time because of street traffic and lack of freeway availability so plan ahead if you need to go downtown.
