Best Hotels near Dan Ryan Woods-North, Chicago

I was at this hotel on 5/28-5/29 I thought the room was nice until I saw a roach crawling on the wall oh hell no!! Went down to speak to the people told them the man who I think is the manager was nonchalant about the situation. the other lady was apologetic she gave me another room. I didn't see roaches but the room was no better. Told them I was calling corporate Monday which I did. I'm not the only one who has complaints. The comforter was old spider webs in the corner whole thing was awful and it was a group trip so they booked the hotel. I personally will never stay there again!!! The day of checkout Isis was very apologetic again I appreciate her in trying to handle the situation and yes I took pictures!!

Have 24hours free shuttle bus from midway airport to hotel, staffs are so friendly and helpful, if you have layover it’s a good choice. Few Restaurants around the area by walk distance.

I appreciate Greg and the hotel for several reasons. Mainly because the hotel has a no party rule and noise complaint rule, that meant quiet evenings! I had two rooms and was able to pick them, so our teens room were close. The rooms are bright and cozy, I'm a taller, bigger guy so this was a plus. The bathroom is a bit small however. Our room had a fridge and 2 sinks which was convenient. The parking lot wraps around the building, so there is plenty of space. The staff I interacted with were all friendly. Breakfast is not included but there is a snack bar, bar, Starbucks and restaurant on site. The pool wasn't bad, better for smaller numbers of people. No hot tub but for teens to relax or swim, it was fine. I'd visit again, they have several ballrooms and I can see hosting an event or two there. This was a NYE staycation and was worthwhile.

10 mins drive Chicago Midway airport, room facilities were bit old but still functional. Close to restaurants and value for moeny. If you have a next day flight and would like to find a relatively safe and clean budget hotel, then this one will do.

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.

I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express with my three daughters, ages 17, 7, and 1 Aug 1-4th. When I say “horrible”, that would be an understatement!!!! We arrived late that night, about 10 pm. Upon checking into my room I called down to the front desk for extra linen because I booked the conference suite and planned to use the sofa sleeper since I was traveling with my children. First, the front desk clerk told me the hotel was fully booked but she would see what she could do. I told her “you mean to tell me there’s no extra linen in the entire hotel.” Nevertheless, a knock at the door with extra linen came five minutes later. Next, while opening the sofa sleeper, we found blood stained sheets on the sofa sleeper. I immediately run down to the phone and call the front desk. Oh it gets worse. While on the phone with the front desk telling her about the sheets, and she telling me there’s literally no one who can come clean the room in the entire hotel and housekeeping isn’t her job, I hear my 17 year old yell out “don’t touch that” and my 7 year old says “what is it”, then my 17 year old says “mom the baby almost touched a used condom”!!! Before I could even go ballistic on the phone, the front desk clerk say “omg, I’m so sorry. I can move your room.” So after being in the nasty room 20 mins, me and my kids carry all of our bags to a smaller room at 10:30 at night. I asked for a manager and was told one would not be there until Wednesday, and it was Sunday night. When I finally got the chance to speak to a manager, Maria Diaz, when I say she was the most unapologetic, non empathetic, unprofessional, incompetent manager ever!!!! She told me and I quote: “Housekeeping cleans 20 rooms a day, things happen, and if I was that outraged I should’ve left, that’s what she would’ve done”!!! No wonder, housekeeping is doing a lackluster job, look at management!!! And to add insult to injury, my bill was incorrect and I was charged for the larger dirty room that I did not sleep in versus the smaller one. Needless to say, I’ll never visit another Holiday Inn chain and I suggest you stay far away from this one!!! I’ll be spending all day seeking out any and everyone in corporate!!!!

Make sure you tell the front desk that you want your room cleaned every day or they will say they don't have the staff to clean and wont' clean your room. They will have you bring your soiled towels to the front desk to get clean towels if you don't have them clean your room every day. It's ridiculous that for the amount you pay that they don't want to clean your room every day. They blame it on COViD. When you tell them they will clean your room and after that it was GREAT. The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. From the front desk to the Maintenance personnel they are all helpful and professional. The staff is wonderful and the rooms are nice, clean, and cool in the summer. This was my 3rd stay at this location and the first time they didn't clean my room unless I asked..

The hotel is in a great location! Close to main attractions and lots of restaurants! Main staff was not very friendly. Hotel is beautiful when you enter. Rooms are very old and need updating. The toilet in my bathroom had a corroded tank and a broken lever. That was a bit frustrating. Bed was very hard!! Room was very cold! Only one thermostat for the entire hotel. There is no individual thermostat in each room. Had to ask for extra blankets. They did provide that for me. The fitness room is very nice! Every thing you need to have a really good workout! They indicated they are in the process of renovating rooms. They’ve just not completed that project yet. I would stay there again if the price was right. Hopefully next time I’ll get an updated room!
