Best for
This hotel suits travelers who want an airport-area base near O’Hare, especially those who value a complimentary airport shuttle and reliable, practical in-room features like a microwave and minifridge. It’s also a solid pick for guests visiting Rivers Casino Des Plaines (about 363 m away) or those who prefer to stay outside downtown Chicago while still having access to transit via the O’Hare CTA stop shuttle drop-off.
Travel tips
The complimentary shuttle runs frequently and serves O’Hare as well as the O’Hare CTA station (not the closer Rosemont stop), so plan extra walking time if you’re using the train. Guests note the hotel can be a bit tricky to reach by car depending on routing and toll choices, so confirm your approach in advance if you’re avoiding tollways. If you use rideshare, be aware the parking lot is gated and drop-offs may occur outside the gate.
What guests say
Guests commonly highlight cleanliness, comfortable beds, and friendly service, with particular praise for a spacious lobby and smooth check-in/out. The airport shuttle is a frequent positive, described as reliable and helpful for getting to O’Hare and the O’Hare CTA stop. On-site conveniences—especially the restaurant and lobby store—are often mentioned as making stays easier. Less favorable notes include some rooms feeling small, the area being more commercial than walkable for sightseeing, and practical quirks like paid parking and occasional minor room maintenance issues.
