6/10 Okay

"The hotel feels outdated, and the exterior could really use some renovations. Unfortunately, the pool was also ice cold, which made it difficult to enjoy."

Holiday Inn Chicago O'Hare – Rosemont by IHG

8/10 Good

"The airport shuttle was wonderful. We had a quick overnight stay. Unfortunately housekeeping woke us up by knocking and opening the door at 8:15. With our time change that was 5:15am and we were NOT ready to wake up. When I shared my frustration with the front desk I felt dismissed. Bummer."
