Hotels near Bay Berry Plaza, Cook County

The Holiday Inn Express at Crestwood provided my daughter and me a place to stay outside of Chicago. The rate was great and the staff at the desk/check-in were personable and very helpful. They accommodated a request to give a room key to my daughter who was arriving in the wee hours of the morning. When she arrived she was warmly welcomed and given the key without a hassle. The hotel itself is kind of dated and a little sad. For example, the bathroom door didn't shut; a lamp was without a lightbulb; and the towels were a bit on the skimpy side. But overall, it did the job and the people helped increase the overall rating of my stay.

Well, let's start when we first arrived. The door entrance and mat was clean! No trash or nasty doors and I loved that. Then we walked in and was greeted by the sweetest young lady named Sherry! I can tell you that along with the extremely clean facility all the way around, Sherry took the Cake!! She was so professional and she made our check-in, our stay and checkout amazingly smooth. I have been in Chicago many times, and paid high prices at other not so good hotels by this one was is the BEST!!! Thank You Sherry for making our stay an Amazing One! Our stay was a GREAT ONE!!!! Hampton Inn, Sherry is a Great Asset! Keep her Happy :)

This is probably one of the best hostels I've stayed at in the U.S. I've stayed at this hostel twice now. The first time was in 2015 and the second time this past month for Market Days. Location: The hostel is centrally located in Downtown Chicago/the Loop. It's easily accessible to get to and from O'Hare Airport via the Blue Line which runs 24 hours. The closest CTA station is Jackson Station which also has connections to many other CTA lines. The hostel is also located within walking distance to many other tourist hotspots like Millennium Park, Broadway shows, Lou Malnati's Pizza (10 minutes), etc. There's also a CVS Pharmacy at the corner of the street that sells liquor and other essentials. On the weekday, the area is bustling with downtown workers, but on the weekends, it's like a ghost town. Most restaurants and stores close by 8/9pm. The only place to eat at if you have a late night is Taco Bell which closes at 2am. Another downside is that there are a lot of homeless people that have set up camp in front and around the hostel, so some people may feel unsafe walking around. Security: The property is very secure. There are multiple entry points to get into the hostel with a key card. There's another entry point to get access to the elevator banks that lead to the rooms as well as required card access to go upstairs and into the rooms. There's also a 24-hour front desk. This was a saving grace for me because my flight from New York was delayed that I ended up arriving at 3:30am. Keep in mind, if you plan to arrive after 3am, you should notify/call the front desk and let them know otherwise they'll mark you as a no-show and cancel your reservation. They also have storage lockers/a luggage room for a fee. Facilities/Amenities: My original reservation was for a 4-bed male dormitory, but there was someone sleeping in my assigned bunk. When you arrive, there is a fitted sheet, pillow sheets, a bath towel, and a face towel (no comforter). You are expected to make your bed. Since I arrived so late and my roommates were already asleep, the overnight staff (DJ) was nice enough to put me in an 8-bed dormitory that was unoccupied, so that I didn't wake up anyone. Both rooms were very spacious/high ceilings/massive windows with a lot of space to store luggage and walk around. All the rooms have lockers (bring your own lock or buy one at the front desk). In the 4-bed dorm, there is a common area with a kitchen/bathroom that connects with 2 suites. The 8-bed room is setup where the toilet, shower, and sink are all in separate areas instead of all in one room. The shower area has dispensers for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. There are also common showers and toilets on every floor. The downside of the dormitory is that you can't control the temperature of the room. Summers in Chicago are hot and humid and the room was kept in the 60s, which I loved. But, my roommates thought it was too cold for them. The WiFi access is very stable and fast. Th

Clean room with comfortable beds. Very busy location . The only negative is the cost of parking is ridiculous at $62/night.

The service was good. I had trouble at check in with the credit cards and the staff was helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only problem was the phone was broken and wouldn't shut up...so I unplugged it and notified the front desk. Check out was simple also and the shuttle to and from the airport was useful. Pick up is at the Terminal 2 shuttle area and you take the team there. If you have a very early flight the shuttle might be an iffy choice. I also ate at the restaurant which was delicious and the service was good.

I was pleasantly surprised after reading some of the reviews on here. Front desk staff is friendly. The rooms are really nice (although the pillows are not comfortable) and you can not beat the location. You can take the airport shuttle to the hotel (great service) and it's maybe a 10 walk to the Rosemont Blue Line L station which will take you downtown. If you're seeing a show at the Rosemont Theatre it takes you maybe 5 minutes to walk. The breakfast was good (friendly omelet makers and clean up staff) although the evening drinks could be better. Some people complained about noise from atrium which is really only a bother if you are still sleeping when breakfast is served. I would definitely stay here again.

Best location if you need to return rental car before you fly. Just 3 minutes drive. The hotel facilities have been recently renovated and everything is spot-on! The room has absolutely everything you would ever need, good coffee, appliances, nice lightning, super clean bathroom. Reading chair and working desk. (The only problem is they don't offer water in the room). Nice swimming pool and gym. Downsides: They charge parking, and the check-in staff could be kinder. They interacted with me and other foreign guests in a rather bossy way.

The best thing is that it feels like a hotel, not old-fashioned, but more like an express hotel, very comfortable

The room was large, neat and clean and very comfortable. The staff are polite and friendly, willing to help guests. It's close to the airport, only a few minutes' drive away, and the location is very good.
