10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient. Actually can walk from the rental car area which is the last stop for airport train, if you do not have much luggage"

Wyndham Garden Schaumburg Chicago Northwest

10/10 Excellent

"The price for the hotel was amazing, great value, and overall I was well pleased with the hotel and the room. Also, the staff both in the evening and morning were 5 stars plus, very friendly and attentive. What was a concern to me was while walking in the hallways the wallpaper appeared worn out and what was not cool was our bathroom door had the paint pealing off of it [I tried to convince my wife and son that it was actually a part of a design on the door]."
