I recently booked the Marriott Midway at the last minute during the Labor Day weekend. Most of the hotels downtown were sold out (or ridiculously overpriced for the holiday) and I found the Marriott to be reasonable ($159/night). Staff were very courteous and professional, and surprisingly I was upgraded to a full suite.

My room had a small kitchenette, fridge, microwave, & a coffee maker. There were lots of cabinets & drawers in the kitchenette, but curiously there were no dishes or cutlery. The room had a huge combo dining/living room area, with a formal dining room table that sits 6. The adjoining king bedroom was spacious, with a separate TV and comfy linens. The bathroom was also very spacious, with a Jacuzzi whirlpool. The toiletries were rather scant, and weren’t replenished the 2nd day of my stay, but that was a small inconvenience. Marriott’s lobby is very large and there’s an Irish/American restaurant (Dempsey’s) attached. They are currently constructing an adjoining Starbucks.

The fitness center was better than most, 3 TVs, lots of cardio equipment, weights and a universal. It overlooked the indoor pool which was a decent size and also had a bubbly whirlpool.

While I would have rather been downtown, the location of this Marriot was great (5 mins. from Midway). There’s a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport, and the shuttle also goes to the other hotels on the compound (Courtyard, Fairfield, Sleep Inn, etc.).

My only complaint about this Marriott was being charged for a $107 phone call I didn’t make, however the front desk staffer graciously took it off my bill. All in all, a decent hotel.

Have stayed in this hotel three times this year. All aspects of the stays have been excellent from the initiial contact with the desk by telephone thru the entire stay,
Excellent place to stay in the Midway Airport area.

We stayed here for a long weekend in the middle of August. The price was quite reasonable for an attractive well-maintained hotel. Lobby staff performed their jobs in a really professional manner. Connections, via trolley bus and public-transit train, were great for getting downtown. The hotel is located in an area I affectionately refer to as "the compound", as there were a number of other facilities all grouped together. Free parking is great and the area felt very safe.

We were recently in Chicago for the MLS AllStars vs. Chelsea FC match and had called our travel agent to see where to stay. She suggested Marriott-Midway as it was a nice hotel and close to Toyota Park where the match would be. We were very pleased when we arrived at the hotel. Plenty of parking space, and the room was splendid! Very comfy and cozy, with plump featherbeds, 360+ count sheets and just very very clean. Everything was first class. The staff was terrific, especially their Irish concierge. The loveliest of people to work with and they made our stay one that we will never forget. We will surely stay there again when we are in Chicago for a visit or to see another great soccer match!
