Daniel Snyder

We have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the last few years while visiting my brother in town Every stay has been wonderful Good breakfast

Clean rooms Great service Great location off of I-94 The only to be aware of is the lack of housekeeping during your stay at this property Since the pandemic started, housekeeping during your stay is by request only We have requested towels and/or housekeeping services during our stay, and they have already done a great job (we travel with two little kids)! We would definitely recommend this hotel to others

Jessica Barr

The hotel is lovely and the staff were very friendly The room was large, clean, and quiet The shades blocked out all the light from the parking lot which I loved

The bed and bedding was comfortable The parking is free and there were plenty of spaces My only complaint was the breakfast It was really just packaged food I would stay here again and just not get the breakfast option

Kendra Arthur

My family and I stayed here for 12 nights when we were moving The suite we had was very spacious (1 bedroom with 2 queen beds, living room, kitchenette) for the 3 of us and our 2 cats The staff was always very friendly and the breakfast was good and convenient

The gym is mainly cardio machines with a few free weights and the pool was a nice addition The location was great for shopping and dining and getting to where we needed to be We were very happy with our stay!

My husband and I came into town for his 40-year High School reunion It was a great experience!After a long drive and exhaustion, I called the hotel to see if we would be able to check in early Maria was the sweetest and told us we could

That set the tone for the perfect stayThe rest of the staff was very friendly Beautiful hotel and cleanTo it off everything was within walking distanceWe had a wonderful stay and will be back

Vinh Le

Despite the other reviews, I went anyway and to find that people there are really nice especially Maria Just a hello and we had a great conversation about life, great customer service The hotel may need some upgrades but don’t we all; I think we should stop judging and just focus on the positive sides of thing and just enjoy it

Cause if you are able to be at a Doubletree Hilton during this pandemic time, pat yourself on the back and just go enjoy! ❤️ For me the highlight was meeting another like minded person and connecting while enjoying the Pool that indoor outdoor pool as you can see in my pictures is def amazing Go live it up and Thank you Hilton for a relaxed time much needed

Eric Bell

Service was pretty good but the nightly fee they charge for what amounts to tips for housekeeping was kind of cheap If the housekeeping is good I’ll tip accordingly, but don’t fail to disclose this when I book it then I find out when I get there that it’s mandatory Overall pretty good hotel, nice and clean, but I didn’t get a chance to visit the attached restaurant and the shuttle service isn’t very reliable as I had to hail a few ubers

Standout staff Accommodating and truly kind Rooms were fine, although both rooms I stayed in had issues with shower temp and water pressure, and multiple common areas like the bar and restaurant were under renovation

They did their best Overall this is an outstanding property under renovation to keep up the standard of service you expect from their brand A great place to stay The attached Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse is a game changer

minghao liu

I’ve been to at least 10 Renaissance hotels around the world, and this is easily the worst Renaissance hotel I’ve lived at The service was terrible There was no hairdryer when we checked in, and when I tried to call the front desk, nobody answered, so I had to come to the reception

Also, they weren’t able to provide any slippersThe buildings are quite old, and due to renovation, only half the amenities are open Sound insulation is terrible We were hearing constant door slamming and children screaming, despite us staying in a CORNER ROOM! We got woken up before 7AM on both days we stayed there The shower has very low water pressure, and it takes half an hour to do a “quick” shower There’s also no access control for the elevators, which means non hotel guests can get to any floor they want Fortunately, this neighborhood is relatively safe, so this won’t pose too much of a security riskThe only upside is the price We booked two nights for $135/night, after taxes and fees, which is a good deal for the Chicago area around the memorial weekend However, with the problems mentioned above, this hotel isn’t worth the price

Laura Thompson

CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT: We stayed here for a wedding and the room was very nice and clean However, our car, parked in the hotel lot had its catalytic converter stolen overnight Unfortunately, there are no cameras on the parking lots so the police couldn’t do anything

The GM returned my voicemail and did comp our room which was very appreciated (but not much to offset the cost of a new catalytic converter) The theft of catalytic converters is not unique to this hotel, but its proximity to 94 definitely makes it a target I personally feel like putting in cameras is an important step the hotel should take A Marriott should provide some level of security I’m a student and this financial loss is not easily absorbed Just be aware!

Andrea Egan

I would have given 5 stars for room, but I must be honest about some finishes in the bathroom A little tired, but overall, such a pleasant stay and worth the extra to stay The evening reception was laid back and had a terrific bartender

The other bartender in the restaurant was also fantastic, giving us a tip in a local Chicago style pizza place The breakfast was superb, and the made to order omelettes along with the service everywhere were unmatched! Great job in staffing and keeping up with the needs of your customers

Abdul Riaz

I was pretty excited to see a quiet place It has amazing indoor view I enjoyed breakfast: it has various options

Staff was friendly Erving time snack was a good option Little issue with room and restroom plumbing but overall I have a great leisure trip with my family It was quite and adequate during night time Elevator has secure operating option I recommend it for family and friends

Crystal Vang

Nice hotel and good location Quiet area, and friendly staff Family friendly hotel, free breakfast omelet made to order, free drinks during happy hour! Pool is okay, but can be busy, which makes it difficult to swim or play, wish it was bigger for such a large hotel! Walls are thin in the suites, living area, no door sweeper, and you can hear basically anyone walking by the hall

Overall good experience and for the deal we received it was great Spacious living space and bedroom (2 queen beds, two TV, a couch and desk/chair and single swivel sofa chair, wet bar sink and microwave/fridge/coffee keurig, plenty of drawers for clothes)

I stayed here fromDec5to present In that time I was able to observe the staff, cleaning, etc

There are so many people I am grateful to This is a top rate hotel! The people at the front desk are amazing In particular I want to mention Olivia who went out of her way to make me feel welcome during my very long stay She is the paragon of competence and professionalism And yet she always had time to give my dog extra attention and care The hotel is quiet and very well run The black out curtains , the pool and other amenities were much appreciated! I was here for a long stay due to the unfortunate flooding of my home I felt welcomed as a new guest each day I wish I could mention in name each person, from cleansing staff to so many others but there is not enough room for me to do so This is a wonderful and well run hotel

Jose Martinez

I stayed recently for a weekend Check in was quick and easy Front desk staff was always friendly and would greet you if possible

The only reason I’m giving this location 3 stars is for the cleanliness of the bathroom A lot of Hair in the shower Under the toilet seat there was brown marking which seemed like excrement Sink didn’t seem like it was clean

Deep Chatterjee

Good place to stay for a short trip Rooms are spacious, at least mine was I didn’t get to check out their pool or gym etc, but I heard other guests saying that it’s good

Breakfast is not included, and there is no complimentary bottled water But it’s conveniently located to cafés and restaurants Parking is around $20 a night in a parking garage adjacent to the hotel Also you can go see the lake if you walk 10-15 mins

shaleena kolnick

Room was full of spider /bugs My daughter was bit all over We had to move to a whole new hotel

When I brought my daughter to the front desk of the hotel to show the workers that my daughter was covered in bites and tell them that we needed to leave the manager found it appropriate to tell me about his own ration show me pictures of his body covered in a rash and try and compare that to what my daughter had and say that my six-year-old had a stress rash We packed up and left the hotel to stay at a nearby Marriott that’s much cleaner We where not refunded for our whole stay and had to pay 300$ for the 3 nights we slept with bugs

Beautiful room, warm and welcoming staff, and a historical building given new life It’s a magical spot I loved the welcome we got, multiple staff members helping us check in and giving tips and recommendations

The building is gorgeous I am not a fan of the musky woodsy scent they are curating in the lobby but I trust their process otherwise Our room was clean, cozy, and even has a partial view of the lakeThe restaurant on site was great! The food is fresh and hearty and the staff was so friendly and helpful I wish it was easier to get food to your room from the hotel! The pigs in a blanket and bacon mac were a great way to wind down a long dayThe bar to the left of the entrance had the most welcoming bartender who made me a delicious bourbon drink with a bit of a light finish I’d gladly drink again The bar space is the attached photo!Thanks for the wonderful welcome! We are excited to be here the next few days

IK

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay here! The hotel is clean and provides a great history behind its location, and the staff is incredibly friendly The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the hotel key cards are actually made to look like famous NU alumni student ID’sOur stay was special because of the bartender, Tara

She made excellent conversation and was extremely accommodating when my partner and I came in right when the bar closed Her kindness made our night and elevated our experience here

Ken Mann

Really poor customer service ruins an otherwise interesting hotel that’s loaded with charmThe joy of staying in a place that’s not a cookie cutter chain A place with a wonderful personality

The staff is warm and courteous with no canned speeches What a pleasure talking a real peopleThere’s a refrigerator in the room and your 1 and 1/2 blocks from a Whole Foods marketSince there’s only one elevator and it’s very slow, I suggest booking a floor you can walk to

Lisa Wells

Based on the pictures, location and 3 star rating, I thought this would be a great place to stay However, I was not pleased The hotel is a 2

5 star at best The attention to detail is lacking The light switches in my room needed cleaning, lack of warm/hot water in the shower, the bed ruffle looked like a balled up Kleenex and most importantly the lack of access for people with mobility issues I had to drag my suitcase up the entrance stairs(which I have trouble using) There is a contraption that appeared to be a lift for someone disabled but it was not working I think it is important to state that when a customer makes a reservation because it is a deal breaker And I am guessing it is not ADA compliant

Ziyad SM

The location of the hotel is convenient if you don’t want to stay in downtown Chicago The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and walkable Restaurants, groceries, and coffee shops are located within a 5 minute walk

The reception and check in process was more than satisfying The room was clean but the beds, carpet, and curtains are old and smell bad, it’s time for changing them $18 for overnight parking is quite expensive for that area The train rails are across the street from the hotel, and I could hear it from the 3rd floor in my room

Max Jemison

Terrible value for ~$100 a night First room we were in did not have a working toilet Ended up getting moved to another room and guess what? No hot water

Along with all of that, you need a card to get in your room, to access the building from the parking garage, and to work the elevator That’s totally okay when you’re actually given cards that work Multiple times my card(s) didn’t work on the readers and I had to get new cards Customer service kinda sucked but at least they were nice Would not recommend this hotel

Jason Gullett

If it wasn’t for the manager having checked us in an hour early and staff being friendly, this would be a 1 star Got up to the room, fully unpacked, and while going towards the sink outside the bathroom stepped in a wet spot on the carpet It was pee – guessing pet due to it being relatively pungent

It was out of the way and I thought it made sense someone might not notice it, until we found two much larger spots near the entrance towards the kitchen Staff was apologetic and came with cleaner, but even after rinsing out the spot and airing it out with the large sliding door (that opens directly to a patio rail – odd but convenient here), it smelled pretty strong of cleaner 6 hours later when we came back While we didn’t ask for a new room when we notified them (again, early check in), we weren’t offered one either By the time we got back there wouldn’t have been time to settle the kids into a new space Based on how strong the spray was, I have to imagine they usually don’t have someone stay in the room when they have to use itPossibly equally problematic but more endemic, is that the second floor unit we were on feels like it was carpeted over something other than a smooth surface (wood or other) There are several spots where the carpet dips down as you walk, and frankly if youre not careful could probably tripI will say – it was a quiet place, and I didn’t have to worry about anyone coming through the halls drunkenly waking up the kids That’s why I booked it in the first place But, in hindsight, it probably wasn’t worth the benefit at about $200 for the night

I was looking for a place outside of Chicago and didn’t know my way around the suburbs! This Holiday Inn had good reviews, so I said yes!It was clean and quiet! The service was great and I felt safe the whole time! There’s complementary parking and breakfast! It’s located in a pleasant neighborhood, and next to a Police Station and a church!I also found out that Super H-Mart was just down the road! I would stay here again!

Andrew Low

I am not sure if 3 stars were deserved Before moving from a different Holiday Inn Express & Suites near Midway International Airport, I lost my wallet and debit card Some way, the previous hotel shared my banking information

My friend agreed to pay until I could repay him When we went inside to check-in, I was not required to show my lost ID and had already been check-in though likely not legallyOtherwise, the hotel was nice Just be careful when exiting the parking lot to use the correct exit I did not drive but navigated I accidentally put us on the wrong roadway since I did not know the area

Eric Prudent

All things considered, it’s a pretty good hotel FYI if you’re going here, don’t count on their breakfast options I stayed a week and they never had any fruit options, and only had yogurt one day

Also almost every day the breakfast meat option was the crummy sausage patty Otherwise it’s a pretty nice hotel and there’s stuff to do in the area

Good solid classic Hyatt Place I was actually apart of a wedding party hear not too long ago and did enjoy our stay I will say the rooms are on the smaller side for a Hyatt place and take that into account when booking

The staff was really great as well and definitely put up with my two year old toddler in ways I didn’t expect them too Will definitely be back

Claire Poppleton

Overall, the hotel was good, but there were a few things I didn’t like1 Our room smelled disgusting – like rotten food

Our room was a suite with a kitchen, so I’m assuming something was cooked I know this isn’t the fault of the staff, but it’s still quite annoying2 A few things in the room weee not properly cleaned, including chairs and the floor3 When we checked in, we were told that housekeeping would be upon request and no one would be barging into our room But after one outing, we came back to new towels, and our beds made, signifying housekeeping at stopped by This made us quite annoyed, as we were told one thing by staff, but that wasn’t true

Great experience, will come back1 Location is super convenient

Room is much better than I thought it would be (although I don’t have the good view to look outside), but the bed is comfy and the bathroom has plenty space (it makes a big flush sound though so I think other room can here it) The transportation is very close to the hotel so it’s very convenient The road is quite calm and quiet, and there are many restaurants nearby to check out

I once spent the night in a hammock in a Central American jungle during a civil war & that was more pleasant than my stay at the Hilton Orrington in EvanstonRoom 1: We arrived at the Hilton Orrington in the evening and were given a room on the lower floor I asked if one was available on a higher floor and they said no

So we checked into our lower floor room There were blood stains on the bedspread, the hinge was ripped off the closet door, the room reeked of cigarette smoke, and the armchair was filthy and looked as though someone had vomited on it So the next morning we went down to the front desk, told them of the problems, and were given a room on an upper floorRoom 2: The carpet was covered in stains, the air conditioning didn’t work & there were wasps in the room We asked about having the air conditioning fixed and were told that many of the air conditioning units in the hotel didn’t work and that they would put in a work order with maintenance I asked for a fan, but they said they didn’t have any I would like to note that it was 98° outside during our stay and 78° in our room So I killed the wasps, tried to ignore the carpet stains & we suffered through the heat that night Went out for the day, got home at mid-afternoon The air conditioning had not been fixed Went down to the front desk and requested a new roomRoom 3: The very surly man at the front desk gave us a new room but we refused to move until we saw it It was 80° in that room & the air conditioning didn’t work Went back to the front desk and asked for a different roomRoom 4: Smaller than the other rooms, with stained carpet and a postage stamp size bathroom, but no flying/stinging insects & the air conditioning worked However, when we woke up the next morning the bathtub was filled with tiny spiders Fortunately, they were easily washed down the drain with the shower headOverall the staff at the front desk (with the exception of Brittany & Andy, who were lovely) were apathetic, disinterested, unhelpful &, in the case of the thin man with the beard at the front desk, overtly hostile I had assumed that the Hilton brand represented quality, but in regard to the Hilton Orrington, this is clearly not the case

Be aware if you are booking a room with a king size bed, you may sleep on a double bed! Although my online reservation clearly stated Room with a king bed, i was told by staff that my room has a “smaller size king bed” (!!) and if i want a full king, i need to upgrade The bed only had 1 night stand and was super small I just didn’t like the fact that my wife and i were lied to and staff/hotel only cared about charging extra for sth i had already booked! Stay away from this hotel!

I was here for a business trip for 5 days I really enjoyed my stay The staff is very nice and helpful

As well as the hotel rooms are VERY clean, you can tell that they really do a deep clean before checking you in I would definitely recommend it The only thing I would say that was not that good is the pool; the water is dark blue and does not really look clean Other than that, I loved my stay Thank you

Great location for shopping and dining The room was spacious except for shower which was narrow I forgot to request for a fridge and microwave

Which I got by without it Bed was clean and comfortable I also liked it was pet friendly I just wished some people gave courtesy to pick up after their pets Maybe they can post doggy bags in front of the building Overall I enjoyed my stay

I stayed at Sheraton Chicago Northbrook Hotel, for my birthday (3/4 -3/8), I had a lovely time, even when I locked myself out of my room (more than once) I was given extra rooms keys with a smile The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the GM went out of his way to make me feel welcome Only negative is that I wish there was a refrigerator and microwave in the room

other that that I have highly recommend Sheraton Chicago Northbrook Hotel

Every single light in my room could only be turned on at MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS It was not even possible to use the bathroom in the middle of the night without fully turning on this bright white light (see photo), which made it rather difficult to get back to sleep afterward I shared a double room with a family member, and there was no way to turn on a small light to work or read without waking her up – even the “reading lights” next to the beds were this same bright, undimmable white

The room was otherwise pleasant, the staff are just lovely (really exceedingly friendly and helpful, would give them six stars if I could – they partially opened the lobby coffee bar early for a handful of guests who came down before their official 7 AM opening time), and the courtyard is beautiful, but the lighting issue is just such a huge problem for a hotel room (after all, the point is ultimately to _sleep_ there)

I saw an unrecognized transaction from them I called them, the hotel rep told me it is an internet fee Well, I was told that the internet is free at the check-in

My Expedia booking also shows that the internet is free as well When I mentioned this issue to the hotel rep, she refused to refund this hidden fee, and when I told the hotel rep over the phone that I am going to post a low star review about this, she seemed careless and she said yes go ahead and post a bad review on us!!!
