Overview
Residence Inn by Marriott Chicago Oak Brook is a casual, all-suite hotel positioned just off Interstate 88 in Oak Brook, Illinois, about a mile from Oak Brook Center shopping mall. Rated 3 stars with a 4.1 average from 697 reviews, it caters to travelers who want extended-stay comfort with kitchen facilities and residential-style layouts rather than a standard hotel room.
Rooms & Suites
Suites are straightforward and functional, featuring full kitchens, work desks, and living areas with pull-out sofas, along with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. One- and two-bedroom suites add separate living spaces, and some units include fireplaces. Guests have noted that decor can feel dated and mattresses have drawn mixed feedback, though front desk staff have been known to upgrade guests to larger suites when available.
Dining & Social
A complimentary breakfast buffet is served daily, and guests consistently mention friendly breakfast staff as a highlight. An evening social is also included, giving guests a casual, no-cost way to grab a bite and unwind without leaving the property.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site recreation includes an indoor pool, a hot tub, and an outdoor terrace equipped with BBQ grills. The property also offers a business center, an exercise room, a lobby lounge, and meeting space, plus on-site parking, rounding out the mix of leisure and practical amenities for both short and extended stays.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits close to the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art (under a kilometer away) and Graue Mill & Museum (about 3km), with the Elmhurst Art Museum and Elmhurst History Museum roughly 5-6km out. Regional attractions further afield include the Brookfield Zoo and Chicago Zoological Society (about 9km), The Morton Arboretum (11km), and Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio and Unity Temple (around 13km), making it a workable base for exploring the western Chicago suburbs by car.
Best for
This hotel suits extended-stay travelers, relocating families, and business visitors who value in-suite kitchens, laundry-style living space, and proximity to Oak Brook Center shopping. It also works for suburban sightseers using the property as a driving base to reach the Brookfield Zoo, The Morton Arboretum, and Frank Lloyd Wright sites in Oak Park.
Travel tips
Because the hotel is off Interstate 88 in a suburban setting, having a car is practical for reaching restaurants, Oak Brook Center, and farther attractions like the Brookfield Zoo or Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio. Nearby sites such as the Lizzadro Museum and Graue Mill & Museum are close enough for a quick visit, while the zoo, arboretum, and Oak Park landmarks are better planned as half-day outings. Guests planning to arrive late should note the on-site evening social and breakfast buffet as convenient built-in meal options.
