Crowne Plaza Chicago Ohare Hotel & Conf Ctr by IHG
Hotel was decent. My only complaint is that breakfast does not come with your stay and is extremely expensive. My wife and I ate breakfast at the hotel and it was $50+ for us two. Nothing spectacular, food- wise either, eggs, bacon, potatoes, sausage, French toast, etc. So was disappointed by that ...
