Hampton Inn Chicago-O'Hare International Airport

6/10 Okay

"the room was clean and staff were good. but the hotel is in an unattractive industrial area, the doors are thin so easy to hear the room next door and people in the hall."

Comfort Suites Chicago O'Hare Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Best value. This Comfort Suites is clean and reasonably priced. Staff is friendly and helpful. They provide a breakfast bar (good for coffee and a pastry) and on site Uno's restaurant. There is an Alidi grocery store and Dollar Tree behind the hotel that you can walk to for essentials. Rooms have a microwave and refrigerator. Best part is the 24/7 on demand shuttle service to O'Hare and the Rosemount train station."

Carleton of Oak Park

10/10 Excellent

"The room was larger than I expected knowing the area the hotel is in. The room also had a kitchenette area with a fridge/freezer, microwave, and bar sink. If I wanted to eat in the room a small dining table was part of the decor. There are many restaurants and shops within walking distance along with numerous public transportation options. Parking would be my only concern if the hotel is full as you can not park on the street. There are numerous parking lots, but you never know."

Best Western Plus O'Hare International South Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Beware of this property. The airport shuttle transportation is not 24 hour as stated. The staff is rude and not accommodating. They start the transportation at 7am so if you have an early flight this is not the hotel for you. Also the hotel rooms are severely old and outdated. Scratched furniture and dimly lit rooms. There are other hotels on this street such as the Hampton Inn that are way better and have 24 hour transportation. Be warned if you stay here. "

MainStay Suites Chicago Hillside

4/10 Poor

"This hotel was not quite what I expected. It may be fine for a single-night stay if you’re just looking for a place to sleep and aren’t too concerned about comfort or amenities. The building and rooms felt very old and worn down overall. The floor I stayed on smelled strongly like weed, and the room itself had a sticky feeling to it. I’m not sure if it was from the cleaning products, but there was also an odor that resembled urine. The elevator was also very creaky, which made the building feel poorly maintained. For pet owners, I wouldn’t highly recommend it. There were not many good areas nearby to walk a dog, the dog waste bag station was empty, and the trash can next to it was overflowing during my stay. Amenities were also limited. There wasn’t much provided in the room or bathroom such as water or coffee, although there was a stove available if that’s something you need. The TV was also inconsistent and did not work at times. It seems to be more of a basic budget stay than what I expected."
