All suites include kitchens and are described as warm and casual, with flat-screen TVs, Wi‑Fi, and desks. Upgraded suites add a pull-out sofa for extra sleeping capacity. Guest feedback frequently highlights the convenience of kitchen features, while also noting that some rooms feel dated and may have limited kitchen supplies.

Location & what’s nearby
The hotel’s immediate area is described as having limited nearby dining and activity options, making it more of a functional airport-area base than a walkable leisure hub. For nearby attractions, Rivers Casino Des Plaines is about 5.3 km away, and Elmhurst Art Museum is about 7.8 km away. Farther out are city and cultural sites such as Wrigley Field (about 19.0 km), Garfield Park Conservatory (about 15.7 km), and Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio (about 9.6 km).
Best for
This property best suits airport-focused travelers—overnight stays before a flight, layovers, or quick work trips—thanks to its free 24-hour airport shuttle and proximity to O’Hare (about 3 miles). It also works well for longer stays that benefit from an in-suite kitchen, plus on-site laundry and a convenience store. Business travelers attending the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center may also appreciate the short drive and the hotel’s meeting rooms and business center.
Travel tips
Because the hotel sits in an industrial area with limited nearby restaurants, plan meals ahead or use the in-suite kitchen and on-site convenience store. If you need frequent towels, note that some guests report exchanging towels at the front desk rather than expecting automatic daily towel service. For flights, allow time for shuttle pickup and airport traffic around I-294.
What guests say
Guests commonly highlight cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff, often describing the hotel as a good value for the O’Hare area. The in-suite kitchen setup is a recurring positive, and several reviews frame it as a comfortable option for a night before a flight or during a layover, supported by the free airport shuttle. Negative themes include reports of the property feeling outdated, occasional maintenance or lighting issues, and limited kitchenware in some suites. A few guests also note limited services such as towel exchange procedures and mention that the surrounding area offers little to do or eat nearby.
