Hotels near Miller Meadow-North, Cook County

My partner and I were visiting the Chicago area for the first time, and the Best Western Plus Chicagoland Countryside was reasonably priced and centrally located. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Every attraction we went to was about 20-30 minutes away. If you need a grocery or drug store, they are only about a five-minute drive. If you do want maid service, you will need to let the front desk know. By not staying in downtown Chicago, we saved money that could be spent elsewhere. If this is your first time in the Midwest, make sure to try Andy's Frozen Custard, which is just a stone's throw from the hotel.

The breakfast at the hotel is free, so the candidate for the reservation does not include breakfast. There is nothing to eat on the edge of the airport. The bus is every 15 minutes. Is the first choice for airport accommodation

I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express with my three daughters, ages 17, 7, and 1 Aug 1-4th. When I say “horrible”, that would be an understatement!!!! We arrived late that night, about 10 pm. Upon checking into my room I called down to the front desk for extra linen because I booked the conference suite and planned to use the sofa sleeper since I was traveling with my children. First, the front desk clerk told me the hotel was fully booked but she would see what she could do. I told her “you mean to tell me there’s no extra linen in the entire hotel.” Nevertheless, a knock at the door with extra linen came five minutes later. Next, while opening the sofa sleeper, we found blood stained sheets on the sofa sleeper. I immediately run down to the phone and call the front desk. Oh it gets worse. While on the phone with the front desk telling her about the sheets, and she telling me there’s literally no one who can come clean the room in the entire hotel and housekeeping isn’t her job, I hear my 17 year old yell out “don’t touch that” and my 7 year old says “what is it”, then my 17 year old says “mom the baby almost touched a used condom”!!! Before I could even go ballistic on the phone, the front desk clerk say “omg, I’m so sorry. I can move your room.” So after being in the nasty room 20 mins, me and my kids carry all of our bags to a smaller room at 10:30 at night. I asked for a manager and was told one would not be there until Wednesday, and it was Sunday night. When I finally got the chance to speak to a manager, Maria Diaz, when I say she was the most unapologetic, non empathetic, unprofessional, incompetent manager ever!!!! She told me and I quote: “Housekeeping cleans 20 rooms a day, things happen, and if I was that outraged I should’ve left, that’s what she would’ve done”!!! No wonder, housekeeping is doing a lackluster job, look at management!!! And to add insult to injury, my bill was incorrect and I was charged for the larger dirty room that I did not sleep in versus the smaller one. Needless to say, I’ll never visit another Holiday Inn chain and I suggest you stay far away from this one!!! I’ll be spending all day seeking out any and everyone in corporate!!!!

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.

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.

In my last three stays in this hotel, I have seen nothing but unprofessionalism and even harassment. I have stayed in this hotel many, many times in the past. In recent years, this place has become like a truck-stop. Let me first give you a brief summary of the recent owner’s cost-cutting operations: The hotel provides a soap which is about an inch and so thin that with one hand-wash it disappears. Pretty insane. I had to walk to a Target to buy soap so I could properly clean myself as a human being. The so-called breakfast is a joke to say the least. Even coffee is nothing but brown water now. Even napkins have transformed. Restaurant/bar is also another disaster… Elevators were not working when I was there (for inspection) but there was not a single apology from the hotel. Upon return from Turkey the other night, I also found out that they there was no longer a shuttle pick up from Terminal 5. I had to take a taxi. I am a world traveler and I can list many other cost-cutting details here but let me come to my biggest issue: With my World of Hyatt membership status, I was given a 2:00 pm check-out on February 10. It was about 11:45 am. I was on the phone trying to arrange something urgent for the earthquake victims in Turkey. Someone started to pound on my door (I had “do not disturb” sign on), she was literally screaming! I opened the door… She was still screaming saying that I had to leave. I said to her in the middle of my phone meeting: “I am having an emergency call now and I have a 2:00 pm check-out. I also showed her my sign at the door. After that she left me alone… Before I left for my flight, I shared some of this experience with some workers in the hotel. They said: “She treats us worse. She is the owner…” I have decided not to stay in this place anymore as it has nothing to do with the Hyatt experience. I am also thinking about taking legal action against this property for violating my privacy. I have seen some hotels in China like this but never anywhere else. The name “Hyatt” should not be associated with this family-operated “hotel.”

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

I visited the Warwick Allerton with a group of friends over a three night stay. The hotel is older, in the midst of a remodel. Our room was fine, appeared to be remodeled. It was clean, comfortable bed and furniture. Housekeeping had to be scheduled and we ran out of toilet paper before the scheduled service. Additionally our wifi was continually disconnecting. Alicia from the front desk offered to come up to our room, reset our wifi and delivered 2 rolls of toilet paper. She arrived within minutes of me talking to her. She was friendly and very helpful. The hotel charges a $15.00 daily service fee. The restaurant was closed for remodeling and there was no food on the premises. There may have been a gym, which we did not use. I fail to see the benefits of the facility fee and would rather just have the room charge be higher if the hotel needs to make a higher profit on the rooms. The hotel is in a good location for shopping and restaurants. The valet service was also efficient.

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.
