Best Oak Brook Spa Hotels

Absolute worst Hilton property I’ve stayed at in recent memory. ACs weren’t functioning properly and were blowing hot air making it very uncomfortable and hard to sleep. You got a different answer depending on who you asked. Front desk said engineers were working on it, a maintenance member said it had to do with the weather and they still had tarps on top of the units on the roof, another front desk associate said certain wings of the hotel just don’t cool off as much as others which turned out not to be true after I switched rooms, and it was just as hot. When I say hot, I’m talking close to 80° inside the room. I know because I bought a temperature gauge and brought it back to the room to find out. The hallways and lobby are much cooler than the rooms. Everyone was complaining and the hotel did very little to accommodate the concerns. I was told they could check me out so I could go to another hotel if I would like. Another solution from one of the hotel staff was to put me in a room with a balcony, and they said to prop open the door and let the air flow through. Meaning both the balcony door and the hotel room door. I would like to say Crystal and Sam in the evening at the front desk tried to help, but I believe their hands were tied in what they could do for the actual air. They offered a fan and waters. They were very friendly, despite how uncomfortable it was. Inside the room was very rundown. Several security items were broken, including the safety door latch, and there was no way to lock the sliding door or sliding screen on the balcony. In addition, the bathrooms were filthy, and a lot of the fixtures coming apart. See the pictures. Stay away at all costs. Plenty of other great options anywhere but here.

Celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We had reservations in a nearby restaurant and wanted to be close. Overall, the hotel stay was fine. Quiet and mostly clean. There was a bit of dried up food on the TV stand that I wiped down myself. The lady at the front desk was very accommodating but came off a bit “cold” as if helping me was a chore. The Starbucks lady(staff) was overwhelmed. She was the only person taking orders and ringing up customers. I wish that everyone can simply be kind and cordial or choose not to work in customer service.

We spent our honeymoon weekend at the Drake. It was a fabulous hotel and the customer service was top tier. We especially received excellent service from Rigo and Maria in the Lounge bar area. They congratulated us on our wedding with so much excitement and the next evening remembered us and showed even more hospitality. They made our stay absolutely incredible! The Drake Oakbrook was an outstanding experience for my new husband and I.

On the day of arrival, the front desk informed the booked room that there was one room left. Fortunately, the room type was upgraded for free. The overall service was not bad. The room was clean and the breakfast was a bit simple. The hotel WIFI was not connected to the Internet on the second day of check-in. It was good when I checked out on the third day. The efficiency was a bit low.

Our room was clean when we checked in. Eddie, the man at the front desk in the evening is wonderful and very helpful. He really went out of his way for us as much as he could. The pots and pans were very nice, good quality stainless steel which was very nice. The ice maker kicks out 7 cubes every two hours so if you want ice your first night, ask the front desk. We did and Eddie was happy to get me plenty of ice to get us through until the ice maker caught up. I requested a general handicapped accessible room (my husband is disabled) and stressed that we did not need a roll in shower when I booked the room. When we arrived we were told our room wasn’t ready (it was before check in time so we were willing to wait until check in time), and that we were booked into a room with a roll in shower. The woman said the previous guest had just checked out (it was several hours past check out time so they should have been told to leave if the staff knew another guest would need that room) and that we had to have that room since it had a roll in shower. I told her again that we did not need a roll in shower, just a general handicapped accessible suit and that my husband would be fine in the bathroom with just grab bars. She told me I had to have the room with the roll in shower because another staff member had booked it that way and there was nothing she could do. We waited until after check in time and were told that our room was still not ready and we’d have to continue to wait. It had been over an hour and was now past check in time. This was NOT acceptable. If a guest is expected to be booked into a room and that is the only room they are allowed to have then the previous guest in the room needs to be told they have to check out by check out time. There is no reason that we should have had to wait well past check in time to get settled into our room. We should have been reimbursed points for that since we were not able to use our room through no fault of ours. My daughter asked the woman why we HAD to have that particular room and was informed again that it was because it had a roll in shower and the room was booked that way and there was nothing she could do and we HAD to have THAT room, we could not have any other room. My daughter explained again that we didn’t need a roll in shower and asked why we had to have THAT room, and that we would be perfectly happy with a different room that was ready. She then asked if my husband could step in and out of a bathtub and my daughter said he could. I had already told the woman this. She finally got us into a room that was a general handicapped room, with a regular tub, which is what I had requested both when I booked the room and when I attempted to check in. The living room curtains were on an automated system to open and close them from a switch in the wall, but the track was broken and the curtain hung limply at one end. We were not able to operate the system because of this so were not able to open or
