Travel tips
If you’re sensitive to noise, request a room facing the inner courtyard rather than toward the highway side, as some guests mention road noise near I‑294. Budget for add-ons: breakfast and parking are available but come with a surcharge. The included airport shuttle can simplify O’Hare logistics, especially for early flights or late arrivals.

The most consistent drawback mentioned is noise, particularly from nearby I‑294, and some guests also note that parking and breakfast are not included.
