Enjoyed our stay immensely,(my wife)& I being of old school character, enjoyed the old generation of Ambience, old time feelFrom the lobby,to our quaint(clean)roomEnjoyed the old craftsmanship & decor of entire hotel

as well as the small elevator (that seemed to take 4ever to rise to your floor)when time is not of essence Not to mention the staff kindness & hospitality Next time in area this will be tops on my list of places to Stay & would highly recommend to friends/ family who would enjoy a visit back in timeTo the Good old DaysFeel It!

MissRenee Richardson

The Carleton of Oak Park is indeed a beautiful historic hotel However at over $250 a night completely disappointing Hardly no amenities or better yet any at all for this price

The hotel offers two room types, Boutique and motel Their website does not show more expensive boutique rooms have a view of either a brick wall or the parking lot, no gardens as depicted in pictures They did not have one functioning vending machine on all 4 floors Literally no where to purchase bottled water or any other simplicities No coffee station in the lobby, no continental breakfast at minimum Staff was cordial but looked at us like we were bothersome when we asked for nearby restaurant suggestions Nothing in immediate walking distance We had to ask the front desk to provide water Better off spending money at a Marriot

My wife and I stayed here while in town for a comic convention and we loved it, cannot wait to come back! The price was the best in the area while being in walking distance of our convention center and so many food options and fun things to do! The hotel itself is beautifully decorated The desk workers were always very kind and helpful during check-in or when we got our parking validated a couple of times The rooms have such a unique layout and were very clean and elegant

We got breakfast one morning and that was also pretty tasty If we are ever in Rosemont again we would love to stay here again!

Elisa

Overall it was a very good experience The hotel is clean and invitingThere is a nice lobby area with a cafeteria, a bar, pool table, and they have an indoor pool and gym

Decor and ambience is very comfortableThe room was neat and clean The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable Daily room cleaning is not done unless you ask, but you are advised of this upon check inWe did have an issue with the bathroom as the floor flooded every time we took a showerBut otherwise it was an excellent stay and we would come back here for sureThank you!

Bailey Smola

The area in which the hotel is located was great, it was very safe and I felt incredibly comfortable walking around on my own to the mall across the street, and even around the entertainment district as a whole The rooms are clean, well maintained, and the staff from housekeeping to management was incredibly kind & helpful if I had any questions or concerns Jennifer, the hotel manager is an incredible human being with a heart of absolute gold

She assisted me in removing myself from a situation with the friend I was traveling with, that could have potentially turned dangerous for me, had I not relocated within the hotel I could tell that my safety was her number one priority and I will forever be grateful to her for helping me out! I will absolutely be returning to Aloft on my next trip to the Chicago area and cannot recommend it enough to others

Clean, comfortable room I got upgraded to a king suite Nice staff

Ideal location for me Just three things I was not happy about-Channel up/down on the TV remote didn’t work Had to manually put in channels Hard to do when you don’t know the channel numbers-Phone in room didn’t work-I was told pool was heated It was not

Cat 3

Pros: Comfortable beds, quiet, the pool is huge Showers had good water pressure The front desk guy that I saw the most was super nice and helpful

Cons: Things that were listed on the website were either unavailable or not true (no free breakfast, the pool is NOT heated, the restaurant is not open) If you have a lot of luggage and need to haul it in with a cart the entrance from the side parking lot isn’t accessible (there’s a step to get in the door) and the back parking lot is gravelI think a lot of the cons wouldn’t have stung so much if the price per night hadn’t been so high I kind of ate the cost because I thought I was paying for the amenties, but to get there and have to go to WalMart to get microwave breakfasts and dinners suckedI would only stay here again if the rooms were 100 or less a night, or if they got the breakfast/restaurant situation straightened out

Richard Willer

AWFUL place to stay including management I took pictures of my room that I will be posting on other social mediaThe room was not cleaned

An opened beer was in the fridge, safety bobby pin on the floor, tape literally holding some of the wall together, and the mirror when steamed stated ‘TRUMP 2021!’ I talked to the supervisor when he came in at 4pm only to say they will just take 20% off and can’t find any product to remove the sign on the mirror! Room preparation is a simple task Hotels accept damage deposits, so most issues should be an easy fix, just buy a new mirror or washing product then! Seems very lazy on staff

OK it’s not the worlds worst Marriott but it’s darn close AC doesn’t function well, you can’t see out the windows because they’re so fogged up inside the glass There is a sign leading to an ice machine on my floor and it was just an empty alcove

But what really bothered me was the television Not the television itself was bad but the service was abysmal Not like your standard Marriott Just scrolling guide with only about 30 channels, most of them just worthless No guide, you had to just remember what channel you liked wait for the scrolling and then go to it No possibility of logging in with on demand All Marriotts have had this as standard issue for the past five years or so, this is just silly and frustrating Posting this review now, but going up the chain of command to make sure the president and CEO of Marriott are aware of these inconsistencies The hotel looks nice from the outside but once you get inside you realize that really it’s just a one and a half star motel at best

Irfan Waseem

Horrible experience The hotel is extremely dull and run down and location is not great either On top of that, the front desk Staff named Dana was extremely rude

We were visiting from NJ where the indoor mask mandate had been lifted I totally understand the different mask mandate in illinois however, the staff needs to be courteous in reminding people for wearing masks She screamed at us saying “wear your mask NOW” We reported the hotel to the Marriott customer service and checked out right awayThis hotel is not worth my money or my points I visit Chicago every month and this hotel is totally off my list I would recommend the hotel management to properly train their staff and manager in customer service

Heidi Pinkham

NEVER will stay here again, nor would I recommend Hotel run down and employees rude The breakfast was a joke

I ordered French toast The preparer toasted the bread in a toaster, sprinkled confectionary sugar on it and served with syrup The drink I ordered expired 2 months ago My sister ordered a “Starbucks” coffee and it tasted like water When she tried to get another cup, the manager was rude to her and gave her another cup of watered down coffee Seriously, this is a Marriott???

Wow! Very impressed with this hotel The staff is AMAZING! Everyone very helpful and went over and beyond to make my stay AMAZING! The breakfast was good and my colleagues enjoyed the drinks and food from the bar The hotel was extremely clean

I even saw an employee wiping down the pictures I was like “WOW” they are cleaning here Lol I will definitely return

Ayleen Valenzuela

Overall, an okay stay My family of four stayed for a 3 night stay Not once did we have our linens changed, room cleaned or trash picked up

Also, no fresh towels there were toys from likely the previous guests inside the room goes to show the room was not cleaned well beforehand There were red stains all over the carpet The amenities were why we stayed – Free parking, free hot breakfast, and the pool My kids enjoyed coming down and the selection of food It was convenient, but I would not come back based on service and cleanliness

Danijela Tomic

I booked a room a month before and I arrived at 4:30pm only to be told to wait because the room was not ready and that they were inspecting the room I waited half an hour with my husband and two children, we were tired and hungry after our flight When I asked why the room wasn’t ready when check in was at 3pm, they didn’t have a specific answer

After that, another woman came and said that she would give us a better room That was really nice but all I wanted is a room I booked and check in on time Breakfast is ok, nothing special Two stars only because of the check in process and because the housekeepers come every third day And after the third day they changed only one bed sheet and left the other dirty The location of the hotel is great!

Great hotel but needs a refresh Must be quite old Elevator doors squeak all night so I recommend rooms away from the elevator bank

Breakfast was great They were tolerant of our many athletes running around at all hours Surprisingly the bar closed early on a Saturday night Parking is expensive! $25/night Great location and the aircraft barely make a sound in the hotel

Brian Chan

Overall: the whole suite looks dark because of decor (wall paint color and curtain)Bedroom: looks clean Bed feels comfortable, can compare with Weston’s heavenly bedWork desk: Comfortable to sit and work

It has outlet hanging on the side of the desk 👍👍Bathroom: looks bright and comfortable 👍👍👍 totally different feeling than living room and bedroom Bathroom tub faucet is new No dripping on the bottom faucet when taking shower👍The ground floor is renovating Limited space and eat

Lauren Butikofer

We stayed here for two nights during an unexpected layover and absolutely loved our experience The shuttle service from O’Hare is a super convenient amenity for travelers, and the staff at the front desk were beyond accommodating My only gripe is that the hotel doesn’t include free WiFi, but that’s out of the team’s control

If you’re looking for a hotel within close proximity to O’Hare, I highly recommend giving Sheraton a try!

I rarely write 3-star reviews but I thought this might be good for anyone with families to readHere are things that we didn’t like about this hotel:1 The living room is very noisy and bright

I have 2 teenagers, and we thought the pull out couch would make a good place for one of them to sleep to give them some space It did not work out well They have glass panels in the hotel room doors, which was pretty, but it let in all the hallway light You could also hear everything from the outside They were very busy during our stay and they lounge area was noisy into the middle of the night We could hear this despite being on the 5th floor2 The staff was mostly nice but not always helpful My son got sick while visiting He unfortunately did not make it to the bathroom in time We cleaned this up ourselves because it was out son and we didn’t want to make the cleaning service do it However we didn’t want to keep the towels with vomit in the room I put it in a plastic bag and took it to the front desk for laundry and the lady looked at me like I was crazy I also had to twice ask for beddingThings we did like about the hotel1 The complimentary drinks was a nice touch and appreciated Unfortunately it does get pretty packed during that time so you may not have a place to sit2 The location is perfect Close to other hotels, conventions and the train station is within a 5 minute walk

You get breakfast for each day you stay you get two drinks between 5:00 and 6:30 each day u stayHallways and elevators were way too hot Elevators need at least one fan or two felt like you were going to have a heat strokeRoom was decent I like the setup

Nice size tvs the shower could have been deeper water pressure could have been harderEven though we were by the airport didn’t really hear it unless you were standing outside so that was a plus didn’t get a chance to get in the pool but the area we were in was pretty good restaurants down the road Casino shopping $33 parking but it’s well worth it because you can get in and out without them charging you each time you leaveFirst day of breakfast eggs sausage French toast make your own omelette oatmeal regular toast muffins bagels and cerealSecond day eggs sausage pancakes make your own omelette regular toast muffins bagels cereal oatmealI do recommend this place and I will stay again🙂

I had an excellent experience with Joshua I checked in late at night in the early hours of the morning due to travel He was able to help me quickly workaround an issue with the 3rd party online reservation company I used, and put me in a beautiful room

The room was gorgeous He also recommended a nearby restaurant that delivered late, after I had been at the airport all day Both the service and the rooms are A+ The hotel is also nestled in a beautiful surrounding community It’s a First Class and White Glove experience at the Drake

Grand classic hotel Great location about 200 yards from Damen “L” station and if you are taking the train from down town there is an exit at the West end of the platform that is less than 50 feet from the entrance to the Robey This hotel is a converted office building built circa 1930s

It is at the intersection of 3 roads so it is a triangular shaped building so the rooms are odd shapes If you can get a room on an upper floor facing the city the views are spectacular Try the roof top bar too Great 360 degree view from the Roof Top bar The staff is friendly and helpful Great central location to several restaurants, bars, and shopping Although we did not use them, they have venues for weddings and birthdays which both occurred during our stay We did not try their restaurants either but they do have dinning options which seemed very popular

Stacey Yonce

This hotel is in a vintage building that has been restored nicely, while maintaining its character Rooms are comfortable, with minimalist decor, and have good amenities (soda, coffee, bottled water and 312 beer) Note that there is a $25/day amenities fee

We paid extra for a city view room and thought it was totally worth it – the view of the city was wonderful Alternatively, go to the Up Room, which is a great cocktail bar on the top floor and which also has amazing view of the city We enjoyed spending time there, as well as The Lounge on the 2nd floor, which has a casual vibe and sports on TV Service was good but understatedThis hotel is in a perfect location It is steps away from the blue line, Starbucks and Walgreens Wonderful restaurants and cute shops are within a 5-10 minute walk (We love Club Lucky, The Bongo Room and Myopic Books) I cannot think of a reason why we’d stay anywhere else the next time we visit Chicago for a fun weekend,

Russ Abstein

One of the most unique Marruotts I’ve ever stayed in Rooms are small but utilitarian in nature Old school feel with modern amenities

Very good amd friendly service up front The highlight of the place is an upstairs rooftop bar with a great view of downtown The service there was top notch not to mention a real fun group of bartenders just happy to be there Very clean and well maintained property

Me and my husband stayed here back in February and it was amazing This was our first time away from our kids since the pandemic started and we enjoyed every moment The staff was really nice, the hotel in general was very clean

We stayed in two different rooms and loved them both, I really enjoyed the tub and shower and was able to relax The restaurant/bar was great and the drinks were the best I can’t wait to visit again and do some more sight seeing in the area

Derrick Woolfson

Well appointed hotel with several conveniently located restaurants & shopping Staff at desk were very friendly and accommodating They offered to check me in early, which was great

I also highly recommend their spa The massage therapist Agnes was incredible, honestly one of the best massages I’ve had All in all, great hotel for our business meetings and would absolutely stay here again Thanks for making our stay a pleasurable experience

Cory C

I was so excited to try this hotel for a few months now I stayed here one night and everything was just fine Everything was cleaned really no issues just nothing to tell other people about

The price is kinda high as well, I think the price is the main reason I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, doesn’t offer a good bang for your buck (In my opinion)

Good hotel Quite busy but patrons and staff are good citizens Room good for being a budget hotel

Can’t find better bargain Relax in indoor heated pool – good for kids to enjoy Great free breakfast Good place to stay outside of downtown Although not too far from downtown, traffic doesn’t do justice though Expect highway traffic delays as part of your trip

Wei Y

Just had a family stay at one of the corner suites The room was relatively spacious and looked great with lots of windows though we had the curtains closed mostly due to the sun The décor and the furniture were slightly outdated, feels a bit retro but still in a classy taste which I like

The kitchen area was a bit small but manageable The sink counter space was adequate but hope they utilize the extra space on the side during remodeling Tub and toilet “room” was a little awkward when opening the door since the toilet is in close proximity with the door, but the area was clean, no damages, no rattling shower plumbing fixtures and sloppy caulking job Tub drains well! Beds were comfortable The thing I loved the most about this hotel was the AC unit, it’s whispering quite unlike most other hotels The irony is, the noise from I90 was quite loud Staff member were very accommodating and friendly Having Outback right attached to the hotel worked out great The location is near the Cumberland blue line station You can walk but there is a section of the route doesn’t have sidewalk starting from Hooters So this may not suitable for people with suitcases The area feels safe overall (during the day)

Oumar Shariff

My favorite place to stay in Chicago Martha the manager is amazing and always has a smile on her face They will go all out to accommodate guests

The airport shuttle is also a huge plus Lots of choices to stay at near the airport but this hotel consistently provides excellent service It’s my home away from home in Chicago I don’t have one negative thing to say about this place They also have underground guest parking that helps with the weather in Chicago

Check in was fast super friendly person the room extra clean and beautiful The bathroom was over sized different sort of sink just don’t turn it on full speed but the shower is wonderful Beds comfortable but small extra soft pillows

We got the shuttle to airport in the morning runs every 15 minutes on time There are 3 restaurants on or around property They are all kind of high end in price but good food We ate at there personal restaurant and enjoyed our meal Will definitely use this hotel again for future travels Also parking in in a garage so cars not left out on lot

Jiri Tvrdik

Everything was exceptional except that the phone system in the rooms continues to be a mystery with me It would be helpful to have some directions in using itThe rooms have everything I need, even a very comfortable chair with foot rest

Room service was great, food excellent and and hot The bed was like sleeping on a cloudI will continue coming to Loews when traveling through Chicago because of the high quality It’s an exceptional home away from home

If you are coming to the Rosemont area, this is simply the nicest hotel The rooms were updated, comfortable, and large The toilet paper and bathtub size could be improved in the 1 bedroom suite

However the shower and water pressure left nothing to be desired for a hotel The bedding was the most comfortable I’ve used in the areaThe service was second to none I was here for a busy convention and there also happened to be 2 weddings that weekend at the hotel At no point did I feel Loews was short staffed or made any service concessions as others have The text service was wonderful and every single staff member I interacted with in person or via phone brought a very high level of professionalism and enthusiasm They should sincerely receive commendations for their hard work and effortI did not like the parking garage if it is busy you might be parking on the high floors, I wish I utilized the valetI only wish it was closer to the convention center I’ll be staying at Loews for all future events at Donald However, utilizing a shuttle for hourly service or we would be a great value add service for a busy convention

Make sure to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a stay This web site will compare countless booking websites and normally will have prices much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later! This hotel is one of the most well known in this area

I have been coming here for a very long time If you decide to stay here you will love it I’m sure!The rooms are clean and the elevator is fun to ride Wonderful place with great architecture and plenty of parking You can use the sky bridge to get to the parking garage and even the near by hotels and Donald’s Stevenson Convenient Center

Stayed recently for a conference Good stay overall Comfortable and clean rooms

Housekeepers do a WONDERFUL job and were friendly Elevators get backed up because 2 of the 4 didn’t work the whole weekDecent food options in the hotel but limited options in walking distance – all high priced tourist traps $20 breakfast buffet is steep but not surprising for the area (good omelets!) Front desk staff are helpful and friendly You could do worse if needing to stay right next to O’Hare, but if you’re here for the “City” of Chicago, I’d look elsewhere

We had a wonderful experience As soon as you walked through the doors you knew you wasn’t in Kansas anymore (joking) the rooms are all very nice and clean and great accommodations Every day the maid came and made our beds in the mornings and made sure we had clean towels

Everything was also clean in the lobby’s and elevators We visited for the anime central and had an absolute blast We definitely will be back next year Thank you for having us and give us a wonderful experience

Booked a king room Got double full size beds that barely fit both of us Both beds didn’t use a fitted sheets, which is fine if the flat sheets actually covered the mattress

Both were not completely covering the mattress at the foot of the bedAirport shuttle arrived and left late Appeared to just be sitting on the side of the hotel across the street until 5am where it pulled up to pick up people there before coming over to the Doubletree If it cannot leave on the hour as stated, the time should be adjusted Shuttle driver left the door shut until loading all bags making us wait, before letting everyone on (although there were guests from the other hotel already on the shuttle)! Why would it matter if people are already on? I’ve seen this before at this hotel during the winter thinking it I’d appropriate to have guests wait in freezing weather to board

First impression of my visit this past weekend (6/10/22) was that this place was going to be great The lobby was impressive and well maintained and check-in was friendly and efficient Unfortunately this trend did not continue

Once we reached the ninth floor the halls were overly warm a thermostat on the wall near the elevator stated it was 77 degrees and it remained that way our entire stay My group and I were treated to various unpleasant smells over the course of our weekend stay in the same hallway Again our first impressions of the room were great but that faded as the weekend drew on A moderate sized stain on the carpet we discovered when we moved a chair to play board games, small spots of peeling wallpaper, messy grout in the bathroom shower, incredibly dirty AC/heater vent, and mini fridge but no microwave were amongst the biggest annoyances for a room of the price range Breakfast was the biggest surprise, there was a buffet with a pretty standard spread of items like scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, cereal, and a fruit bar We were waved over to a table and then went to get our food, some of the items that should have been cold were room temp like the cottage cheese Imagine our surprise when the man who waved us to the table brought us checks as it was not posted anywhere or ever told to us that this was not complimentary like it is a “lower” caliber hotels After tax something like $21 per person for this buffet One of our group only had a small bowl of cereal and a glass of water Overall very disappointed

Great place to stayRooms were ample and nicely furnished, I like coffee pots that do not use pods My room had a tub, unfortunately didn’t had a chance to enjoy it

Location is unbeatable, walking distance to the outlets and very convenient shuttle service to the airportEven taking the CTA train is just a 10 minutes walk awayFront desk helped out group a lot, we had special requests and they worked hard to help usGreat place to stay, the welcome cookie is a nice touch

We celebrated our anniversary yesterday and stayed here We were surprised by the hotel with champagne and chocolate strawberries in our room,nice touch 😉 It was a lovely experience overall

Though we could imagine how beautiful the scenery is in the summerwe will definitely be back! The property is huge, pool is big enough to swim laps, there’s a hot tub too Gym is also very big There’s a cute restaurant that over looks the lakewe didn’t get to try it because we arrived after 3pm and it’s only open for breakfast and lunch but you can still get dinner later in the bar/lounge Clean, beautiful,relaxing property and staff was very nice as well

One of the most romantic hotels I’ve ever stayed at Rooms were clean, and a big plus is that they have windows that actually open and you can get some fresh air in the room The front desk was professional and attentive

The design of the building and the location give you that unique lodge feel, like you’re somewhere in the mountains of Austria Great stay, and will stay here whenever I’m in the area They are dog friendly and the prices are more than fair $25 daily pet fee and 60lbs weight limit

Love love love the location The scenery was beautiful The rooms could have been cleaned

There was dust every where My niece room had a spider web in the corner of the room with a spider So that room hadn’t been cleaned in awhile The bathroom sink had mold or something around the faucet So i did cleaning myself Because staff said the rooms don’t get cleaned until the 3rd day

This hotel truly is a hidden gem! We have been coming here for years with family and friends There is so much to offer—indoor/outdoor pool, golf, 2 restaurants, game room and more The hotel is just gorgeous, as well, and the staff is amazing! From the time you check-in, you feel welcomed

I have to give a huge shout out to our absolute favorite staff member, Willie, at the pool/golf bar He is amazing—hardworking, personable, efficient, and just an overall fantastic person! Such an asset to the hotel We already can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I were here for a 1 night 2 day work conference We really enjoyed our stay Everyone was friendly and the hotel has so many amenities (large outdoor and indoor pools, nice selection of restaurants)

The conference food, snacks, drinks were great with a lot to choose from Our room was extremely clean and the beds were super comfy Thank you for a great experience Hilton team!

Karissa Plautz

Beautiful views of the golf course and skyline Clean room and bathroom Comfortable king size bed

Modern 2 restaurants and bar Friendly and helpful front desk staff Booked 2 rooms 3months ahead of time and happy to be on the same floor a few rooms away from each other Only downfall is we did ask for room service but they did not refresh towels or clean bathroom like asked

Lots of amenities Garage parking is included Restaurant is excellent, well run, friendly and reasonably priced

We had breakfast/brunch 3 days and it was very convenient and good Manager and wait staff were friendly and happy to please Housekeeping was excellent, cleaned rooms daily, facility is sanitary and spotless Gym, pool, saunas, hot tub were greatOnly criticism was sports club desk staff not attuned to running a hotel Maybe a post covid problem? No information in the rooms about hotel features, hours, etc Cable TV has problems with sound, but we were too busy to watch TVA Hollywood movie was being filmed there both nights of our stay A little inconvenient but definitely Chicago unique! We will definitely book again

Nic Van Til

Expensive, but worth the price Very upscale feel, clean rooms, and attentive staff Shoutout to Chase working the front desk

You have access to the fitness center facilities while you stay, so if that is something you are looking for, you will be very pleased with what they have on-siteThe connected restaurant/bar was also a great experience The food menu is somewhat limited due to the nature of it being a hotel restaurant, but what they do have is all incredible Actually very reasonable prices for drinks and food as well Good vibe at the bar if you need somewhere to escape to during your stay Bartenders were very friendlyThe only downside was trying to check-in early was essentially impossible due to the rooms not being ready, but we were able to get in around the guaranteed 4pm check-in time They will hold your bags for you if you arrive early and want to hang out at the bar or go somewhere else while you wait for your room

Ara Jaden

Overall this was a missed opportunity The service was lacking from checkout to departure The staff offered no info on amenities, didn’t ask whether I’d been there before, so my review speaks only to the hotel

Maybe it gets better? For me however, my experience was an elevator that smelled like sweat every day and a room with walls thin enough to hear slamming doors and weights dropping throughout my stay The pillows seemed to have waterproof covers that had to deflate before you could settle in Overall not a good experienceThe only positives I can really say they offered was the convenience of parking
