Best for

For theme-park days, the hotel is within roughly 15–16 km of Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor Chicago, making it practical for an early start. Some guests have reported smoke odors in common areas despite smoke-free messaging, so consider requesting a room away from stairwell/elevator zones if that’s a concern.
