I like Holiday Inns because they are typically a less costly hotel and you pretty much know what…read moreyou're going to get. This Holiday Inn was like most others. The price was a little inflated when my group went due to there being many events that weekend, but not as crazy as some of the other nearby hotels. The hotel and our room was very clean upon arrival. The decor, furniture, etc. was pretty old-school. When we reserved, we were under the impression that we'd have a couch in the room but instead got a large space with many different chair options. It worked out fine and we used the space to have friends come over before we went out to our event. We were fairly loud and when we checked to see if the sound would bother our neighbors by going into the hall, you actually couldn't hear much. We got no complaints so I assume it was the same for the walls between the rooms. The bed was comfortable and everything worked fine. Good water pressure in the shower. Mini fridge worked better than most hotel fridges. Lots of places to unpack belongings. Front desk staff was responsive and kind. Parking was complementary and super easy. They had complementary breakfast, but we did not indulge (we slept in!) Just a few cons. The gym and the pool were both closed during our time there. Our room had no full-length mirror, just the regular mirror in the bathroom. Easily resolved by adding a mirror. Also, no closet in our room. Finally, the TV had only very basic channels. I'd recommend adding Netflix or some kind of streaming service - at least the ability to log in with one's own account. The TV seemed pretty old and probably incapable of this.

This hotel is for those who can't afford something better. Check in was fine. The lobby and…read moreelevator had old and dirty carpets as did the hallways. The room was very dated with sticky and dirty floors. The bathroom was a real enjoy, the toilet paper holder only had one part. (PIC) The body wash, shampoo and lotion dispensers were all empty. The toilet paper roll was 3/4 gone. They finally has some Hispanics to fix the holder. They didn't bother to clean up the mess they left, that's when we found the numerous long black hairs. (PIC) The only chair was extremely stained. (PIC) We had to get a new roon key numerous times major headache. Supposedly they were renovating the 3rd floor, being on the 2nd floor (217) it WASN'T really nice to listen to banging until after 9 pm. The telephone had no cord. I couldn't just exchange towels with the housekeeper as she didn't speak or understand English but she did bring a whole new set of towels. The breakfast was sad, just cereal byt good coffee.. The outside of the hotel has lots of garbage and cigarette butts and weeds. The parking lot had a large pot hole in it. Some interesting guests made it a bit sketchy. The room had a decent bed. The mini frig and microwave were nice. The staff was OK not exactly welcoming. We learned a valuable lesson to spend more for a better experience. We wouldn't recommend this hotel.

While visiting Chicago, my husband and I ended up choosing to stay at Best Western Plus Chicagoland…read more- Countryside because staying in Chicago is really expensive and thought staying at this location was still within a very reasonable amount of driving distance to Chicago. My husband and I ended up staying for about a week here and checked in rather late on a Tuesday night, around 9 pm. The employee at the front desk was very friendly and even gave us 2 bottles of water when we checked in. We ended up being placed at the very end of the hallway on the first floor. This room was right next to the side exit and also right next to the vending machine and ice machine. Unfortunately because of this location, it was noisy in the evening with people getting ice at 2 am and later or coming and going out of the side exit at random times of the night (and these guests were not courteous to be quiet with the rooms they passed by). The next night, we had asked if we could change rooms and the same employee who checked us in the night before said there were no other rooms available and said "it is what it is"... a bit disappointed by his lack of help so we just stayed in our room for the rest of our stay with interruptions throughout the evenings (if you end up getting this room, I would recommend you ask to move to another location, especially if you are a light sleeper). The room itself was fine in terms of cleanliness and room. We stayed in a room with a king bed that also had a mini fridge and microwave. Our room also had free WiFi and free breakfast (6 am- 9 am on week days and 7 am- 10 am on weekends). It was a full breakfast, that included eggs, sausage, various cereals (cold and hot), make your own waffle, bread/ pastries, coffee, tea and yogurt). There is also one washer ($1.50 per use) and one dryer machine ($2.25 per use) on site available for use (which we ended up using one night). They are both coin operated. There is also a gym on site was that had 2 treadmills, one elliptical, one bike machine, free weights, one lap pull down bar and one bench. There was also plenty of clean towels available. I did use the gym twice during our stay and thought it was fine for me. Overall, our stay was okay. I would have liked something a little nicer but I think for the price, it was acceptable. I think the trash did need to be taken out more often though, as the trash can by the vending machine + ice machine was full and people started to just pile their trash around it since it no long fit in the trash can. Just remember, if you do stay here, request for another room if you are placed at the end of the hallway on the first floor that is by the side exit, vending machine and ice machine.

They addressed issues and had i not been so tired every time we came home, I'm sure we could have had the problems solved or room moved for a better overall experience. But the reality is, some times, sh!t happens. And in our case.. the toilet ran all night! They did say they sent someone up the next day to fix, but sadly it was not fixed. When i checked out, i let the girl behind the desk know and she really didn't express any concern that perhaps a dissatisfied customer was leaving the building. Overall though the room and hotel was nice. The air freshener upon entering the hotel was VERY OVERWHELMING! Thankfully it was not like that on the room floors or in rooms. Ample parking. And good location for our needs. If i came back to the area, I'd likely look for another hotel simply because of being dismissed at checkout. But in general it's not a bad hotel.

Where do I start with this huge mess! After having a power outage we decided to stay at a hotel. I…read moream 8 months pregnant with a four year old and I did not feel like staying at home with this Chicago heat! We called and made reservations and we were told our total was roughly $84. We finally make it to the hotel and the lobby looks clean and orderly so we are happy (that doesn't last). We go up to the desk person and she can't find our reservation, no worries right they have other rooms. When she gives us the paper work to sign the total is $115 with a "discount". That's $30 more than we were initially quoted but I am so tired and cranky I let it slide. We go up old ratty dirty elevator and get off on the 3rd floor. As soon as the elevator opens the combination smell of dirty old man, cigarettes, and massive BO wafts towards our direction. We get into our room and you can tell the cleaning crew did the bare minimum to keep this place "clean". I've stayed at better hole in the wall hotels in Mexico! The coffee pot, which I had no intention of using was full of coffee stains. And the disposable cups were all crush that two of them had holes in the bottom. Against better judgement we get up for their continental breakfast. I can't complain about the breakfast it is usual breakfast fare ie. toast, cereal, etc. But that room was hot an MUGGY! It felt gross. They had no plates and the milk was not in a cool container so needless to say I stayed away from that mess. The reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because the desk people were nice and they ended up giving us the original price of $84. Next time I will prefer to stay in my home oven than this place.

There were objects shoved down the sink drain from previous stays that no one noticed/wanted to fetch out. The bed was clean (as far as I could tell) and actually quite comfortable.
