We got this room, a 3 1/2 star, for $60 a night. We were happy with this rate. The airport shuttle was a little slow, but adequate.
The staff was extremely helpful and explained how to use the L blue line. It is right across from the parking lot. I felt safe using it (I'm from Nebraska and clueless about cities!!) with my 2 daughters. We felt riding the train was part of the city experience.
While not complaining because of the rate we got from priceline, I would say 2 negatives if we were paying full price. The layout was extremely confusing and a LONG WAY from the lobby. It was a seriously long walk, I would have requested a closer room if we weren't their on priceline. The other negative is that they charge $16.50 for their breakfast buffet. That seems like a lot to me. We just got bagels in the gift shop. Again, I think the hotel was nice, the pool area is great!...and the location to the L is very handy. Give priceline a try!

Ok, I got it on priceline for $42 so I can't complain too much. Bed/pillows were great but the TV was in a cabinet at eye level (which I thought unusual) and it wasn't a flat screen (I figure Marriott was fairly upscale to not have tube TVs). $6.95/hr for internet in the business center is robbery (yet their Courtyard brand is free).

I ordered breakfast from room service and it was quickier than promised (a plus) and it was really good.

Two pluses for the hotel: The "L" is nearby and so is Dominick's which has a decent salad bar.

Although I booked the room through Priceline at a very favorable rate, I was treated very well by the Marriott staff. My eighth-floor room had a great view of the surrounding area, and was clean and comfortable. I also enjoyed the large indoor/outdoor pool and whirlpool. Another advantage is the ease of getting on the CTA's Blue Line; the entrance to the Cumberland station is located just across the hotel's parking lot.

The guy that I spoke to at the front desk when I arrived could not give me any substantial information about the shuttle, so I took a taxi, since the hotel is 2 miles from the airport. The taxi cost me $18, and he said it's about 6 miles from the airport.
The room was small, the furniture scratched, and a lamp had the bulb hanging down in a dangerous way. The towels and shower curtain smelled of cigarette smoke, even though this is a non smoking hotel.
And, I've stayed at many airport Marriott (most way closer to the airport than this one) and have never felt the planes quite the way I did here.
I did speak with the manager and he covered my dinner. But that doesn't make up for the poor quality of this non-airport hotel.
