Hotels near Site of First RR Station in Chicago, Cook County

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.

We were in town for a family wedding The hotel staff was courteous and could not have been more accommodating The room was very comfortable and housekeeping was extremely attentive. We would make a daily walk to Cozy Corner restaurant for the ultimate in breakfast To the entire staff many thanks

I needed to stay somewhere overnight near Midway and this hotel fit the requirements. There is free 24 hour Midway airport shuttle service which is what I needed as I had an early flight out. The front desk clerk was very patient and hospitable and knew how to set expectations, which was fantastic for me after 10 hours on a plane, and getting into Midway very late at night. The night shuttle driver was also quite nice. I had a hard time understanding him, partially because he was using a face mask and partially because I was tired and sleep deprived and have bad hearing. I had a great night's sleep. I didn't stay long enough to figure out what, if any, they had for breakfast. I did use the free internet while I was here. There were only a few odd things. 1. When I walked into the room, it had an odd smell. I believe it came from the slightly moist carpet. In about 5 minutes, my nose got used to it and I didn't notice the smell the rest of my stay. 2. The desk had no electrical outlets on it. There was one electrical outlet on the wall (thankfully I had brought my own power *****) near the desk. On the desk was something that looked like outlets of some type, however I did not recognize what it could be used for. That meant that all my electronics were plugged into the 4 outlets, 2 on each of the bedside lamps, plus the power *****. 3. There was a microwave, however, no refrigerator. I didn't need one so it wasn't an issue. There was space in the area of the microwave where one would have the refrigerator. 4. The water for my shower at 3:45 am, never got truly hot. It was warm and probably adequate for babies and the elderly. However it was not hot enough for a sleep deprived individual who likes hot showers. On the other hand, it was warm enough for my shower. I just couldn't warm up, during the shower. 5. The area by the bathroom sink was quite small. It wasn't a real issue since I could place my things on the table in front of the microwave, which was just behind me as I was facing the sink. 6. I couldn't figure out how to change the temperature of the room. The air conditioner was blowing cool air. As long as I was covered at night, I was okay. However, I wanted the room to be warmer, and the lack of a hot shower, made the room even colder to me. Would I stay here again? Probably only as a 1 night stay. I've stayed at other Fairfield Inns that were in much better condition. However, the front desk clerk and the availability of the 24 hour shuttle service to/from the airport, makes it highly likely that I'll stay here again for a 1 night stay. This was a last minute booking so I paid a lot for this one night stay. They got me.

The hotel is relatively clean, in a large hotel park, ten minutes from the airport. The only downside is the matching, no supermarket, restaurant. The water in the room is charged, 3 knives a bottle.

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.

My connection was canceled and I had to spend the night at the Hyatt Place. So glad I chose it! I had the standard room with a king size bed. It had a nice living area in the room! The bed/pillows were very comfortable. Room/bathroom were very clean and spacious. The bartender was the most friendly employee! He was the one who made me feel welcomed. The kitchen is beautiful, bright and spacious! Good sausage patties and hash browns. I wished they had scrambled eggs instead of hard boiled. Hot oatmeal with toppings, bread and bagels to toast, yogurt, apples and oranges, juices, coffee, tea. Many tables to sit at. Overall I was impressed with this hotel! Highly recommend it!

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

Great family trip for a wedding. Loved the blackout shades for the kids. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Great location near many restaurants that were walkable. Able to easily hop on the highway. Highly recommend for families (our kids were 3.5 and 1.5yo)

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.
