Holiday Inn Chicago North Shore by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very kind, and the hot tub was wonderful "

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chicago O'Hare Airport by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The room wasn't cleaned on the second day as the cleaning staff did not show up until 5:20 pm when we had returned to the hotel. And I had given a $10 tip to the front desk to given to the cleaning staff that morning before we left requesting the room be taken care of (knowing that we would be returning to the room by 4:00). Also, the general condition of the hotel was a big shabby with noticeable repair items not taken care of. Otherwise, I have high compliments for the staff. "

Great Wolf Lodge Illinois

8/10 Good

"Family of four, girls are 9 and 14. We go to different great wolf lodges. This one wasnt bad, two attractions were closed temporarily due to kids puking. Be present with your kids, go on the water slides, tube the lazy river, get smoked by big waves in the wave pool. Sad seeing all the parents on their phone then we are dealing with the kids behavior with no parent around. No hot tub here unfortunately. Best GWL hot tub is in Traverse City, MI. HUGE adult hot tub and even a decent size family one. Smaller park in TC overall but dig the tubs after freezing in the park."

Sonesta Chicago O'Hare Airport Rosemont

6/10 Okay

"No one told us that for breakfast you needed a voucher so I don't know how breakfast taste. The room was nice, the bed was comfy, kinda makes no sense to have it look like a two bedroom and you can close off the door if there is only one bathroom. The 2nd night in, the heater broke and only cold air was coming out. It was too cold and it was supposed to rain the next day and no working heater. I had to wait till the next morning for maintenance to come, called at late 8am, waited an hour, called again, it was a different person on the phone and it sounded like no one was informed that maintenance was supposed to come up, finally maintenance came and brought a space heater. It's very disappointing to pay all that money for the main thing that is needed on a cold day in Chicago to not work. "
