After booking on Priceline and paying a low rate for this hotel we were happy with the 3 star accommodations. The Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites downtown Chicago was easy to get to off of 290. The staff were very friendly and answered all our questions. Room was clean and just as pictured on the hotels website but bathrooms are small. Also, Lobby area is small and can get crowded. We purchased CTA visitor passes and used the train/bus service which was convenient to the hotel. Clinton Stop (Blue LIne), is just accross the street. We visited American Girl, John Hancock, Field Museum and Shedds. Found the trasportation very easy to use but will find something closer to downtown next visit. The hotel parking is $30 a day. However, we chose to park in the parking lot next to the hotel and paid $20 a day with in/out privileges. Our room overlooked the parking lot and we could see our vehicle. Also, we were directed to buy our visitors passes at the customer service desk of the Dominicks grocery store that was just 3 blocks away on Roosevelt between Clinton and Canal streets. Parking is free at Dominicks and there is a Walgreens, Subway sandwich shop, and a Dominos Pizza in the same shopping center.
