This hotel seemed to be the nicest in the area and competitively prices. This hotel isn't terrible but it isn't good either. The lobby smells so bad and odd that the smells could actually be fumes that are bad for your health. The staff pretends to be helpful but never follows up on needs or issues. They asked us for a card but incidentals and claimed it would not be charged. We then found random charges for $75, $95 etc... For every day that we were there. And our rooms were pre-paid using Marriot points! They said they would remove the charges but never actually removed them! Puddles of water were left in the elevator on fake marble floors. The star bucks in the lobby has only left over and stale pastries and the neighborhood is surrounded by check cashing places and liquor stores. Stay away and if you do, please only use a credit card.

  • Liked — Leaving
  • Disliked — They took money without explanation and dide not credit mmy money back.

The staff at this hotel could not have been friendlier. We found them exceptional. The hotel restaurant (Dempsey's) had very good food and we would recommend it if you are staying in the hotel. Service was excellent. Our room was well appointed and our bathrooms were a cut above the usual hotel bathrooms. Everything was very clean and the hotel is very well managed with a dedicated and well-trained staff. I would recommend this hotel.

Flew into Chicago-Midway for the first time. Was spending three nights to tour the City. For someone with NO mobility problems, staying near the Airport works fine. The area around the Marriott has several new hotels - probably all of which are less expensive than the $170/night, single that I spent. But the difference in nightly rate for most is small (less than $30) so decided on the Marriott. All the hotels have access to a shuttle service (every fifteen minutes) to Midway. Once at Midway it is easy to jump on the ORANGE line train that takes you downtown in about twenty minutes. For a two-day pass (unlimited travel) the tarif is $9 purchased in the Midway station. There is a lot of walking if the hotel-airport-train procedure is used - a person with mobility problems might consider staying downtown.
The hotel room was modern, comfortable and quiet. Eating in the hotel consists of either room-service, or visiting the in-house restaurant (Dempsey's), or trying the in-house Starbucks. I tried all three and found the food quality (except Starbuck's) to be
hit-and-miss. Because of the convenience of the shuttle, and the quality of the room, I would definitely stay here again

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.
