Best Hotels near Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, Skokie

Stayed here on our way out of Chicago for a night. And where to start. The place is a maze. A business motel style at best. No proper directions to where to park for which block. Definitely not an IHG standard hotel. Then to add it all up, in addition to the run down walls, faucets, rooms there were weird noises coming from the fridge, ac, bathroom. The internet was spotting all evening. There was a huge spider in the bathroom (😳😳😳) and dirty towels/rags laying outside rooms (YUCK!!!). To top it all up, the bed sheets had dried blood stains on the sheets (OMGGGGGG!!!) and bed sheets are TORN and un ironed. I called the front desk to complain and she (I believe her name was Chelsea) not only sounded not interested at all but very unapologetic , rather didn’t care. Seems the people running this place are cutting corners and really don’t care about the well being or experience of their customers.

Hotel location is OK, the room is very comfortable, clean, the front desk service is very good, there is a 24-hour public coffee supply in the lobby on the first floor. The breakfast is quite rich in the American style, very warm.

I was with a party of 20 & we found ourselves stranded needing a Hotel for 2 weeks & Jamie rescued us. She was totally ready when we all arrived, pretty much together. She already had our rooms assigned so check in was fast & carefree. The room was clean & very quiet once inside. The kitchen was nice with a full refrigerator & they supply pots & pans & dishes. I actually cooked more than one dinner. It was nice to eat home cooked meals on the road. The folks at the front desk are so friendly & helpful. Especially Jasmine, she was so helpful. Josh was also nice to wake up in the morning. I would definitely stay here again.

Very close to the airport, there is also a shuttle bus from the airport hotel, which shares a car with the Hyatt next to it. The environment is not bad. It is also a newly built hotel. The air conditioner seems to be unable to open, but the time we went was not very hot. It doesn't matter if the air conditioner is not turned on. If it's summer, you still have to think about it.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to an event we were attending and the availability of a two queen room with sofa sleeper which is hard to find to accommodate a family of 5. We were grateful to only be spending one night here. When we stepped off the elevator on our floor, we were overwhelmed by the smell of **** and the noise coming from room 315. Groups of people sitting in the hallways outside of their rooms and couples arguing… we weren’t sure what we might encounter but the night ended up being uneventful, thank goodness. While the sheets looked clean and the bedding was comfortable, the room was dirty. Sticky tile floors and a large wet spot on the carpet. Ramen noodles still on a wall??? Tortilla chips on the windowsill. Not even sure how that happens. Better housekeeping is a must for sure! Not enough towels even though our booking was for 5. Breakfast was okay and the staff was friendly. Another positive- it’s right across from the police station so that made us feel like our car might be a little safer in the unsecured lot.

I have stayed at Four Points on multiple occasions over the last few years before my most recent stay there this past weekend, hence why I booked here for my partner’s and mine’s little weekend getaway to the city. I also booked here knowing they offered gated/secure parking for those not using vehicles on during their stay (I.e. “the park and fly”) When booking I had questioned whether we could park our vehicle on site in the secure area knowing that our time of arrival was going to be far prior to check in time. I got the okay to my parking question when speaking to the front desk, so we booked! Upon arrival, I had to ask the front desk twice for the gate code to the secure parking as our first encounter they only gave us our parking pass but did not include the parking code. We dodged pot holes throughout the general parking area as well as the secure parking area which was less than ideal. Ultimately though we were able to park our vehicle, order our Uber and get to our destination on time. Fast forward a few hours I was able to check into our room on the app, which was nice given we were 45 minutes - an hour away from the hotel for the day. We finally arrived to our room later that evening and we’re able to get our rooms keys and get our things from our vehicle to bring up to the room. Upon re-entering the building from the secure parking area, we both swiped our room keys on the building door to enter to no avail. Prior to turning around and almost walking through the vehicle gate drive through and around the building to the front door, my partner pulled on the building door and came to the realization the door was never locked (big yikes!) so anyone hotel guest or not if able to get into the parking area had unlimited access to the interior of the hotel. That in itself made use feel uneasy. We used the room for solely sleeping in a bed and getting ready/showering for the next day of our trip. We arrived on a Friday and stayed through Monday morning (3 night stay in total). Each and every morning when I woke up, I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why I waking up completely congested and itchy face, eyes, throat, etc. Sunday morning I made a very uncomfortable discovery…. Our entire hotel room was LITTERED with mold growing out of any crevice in the room. The bathroom door frame was completed surrounded by mold growth (see photos) and we found evidence of peeling wallpaper near the patio door with mold growing up the wall where the door/window meets the wall. The only thing I’m allergic to is mold so it all started to add up in why I was feeling so miserable every morning after sleeping here night after night during our stay. In addition to looking for more evidence of this untimely discovery we came across uncovered wires, loose and/or broken outlets in our room (adding to a few more safety hazards of our stay). While the front desk personnel did document my concerns upon checkout, I do not recommend anyone to stay with Four Point

My 2 friends and I chose this hotel due to its proximity to Oak Park. We wanted a suite with a living area with a sofa bed separate from the bed room. Unfortunately when I pulled out the sofa bed for the first night, I realized the mattress wasn't very comfortable. We were tired and I decided to deal with it. I received a text Saturday morning inquiring about our stay. I texted back that the mattress was not very comfortable on the sofa bed and asked if it could be replaced. I quickly received a text back that said unfortunately they didn't have any new mattresses, but would bring me a second mattress to put on top of the first one. That made the bed much more comfortable the 2nd night. While this hotel needs new sofa bed mattresses, they responded to me quickly and honestly and did what they could to improve the situation. The price we paid for 3 people for 2 nights was very reasonable. There was a hot breakfast both mornings that met our needs. We had dinner on Friday night at the attached Uno Pizzeria. The food was very good and the waiter couldn't have been nicer. We had enough food left over for dinner Saturday night after a late lunch. The room had a microwave and refrigerator. All of us were pleased with our accommodations and would return.

My husband and I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Evanston for my daughter’s 7th birthday, along with our younger daughter who is 5. We wanted to stay somewhere that had a pool, restaurants/shops/nightlife accessible and also close access to the beach. We found all of this when we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn! I really can’t say enough great things about this hotel. First: the location. It’s situated one block away from downtown Evanston, one of the best neighborhoods in the state of IL. There are limitless things to do and places to eat with the kids. Second: the hotel staff. They were so kind and accommodating! Cathy at the front desk knew it was my daughters birthday, wished her a happy birthday, and gave both my daughters a free treat to celebrate. There was always a staff member around to help, from someone servicing the pool to the guy that helped me get complimentary coffee in the lobby. Just a pleasure! They were so helpful and happy to help, I got the sense of being part of one big family while we were staying there. Third: the room. It was so clean with so many thoughtful component included to make our stay more comfortable. The were communications posted throughout the room notifying us of when/how the room was sanitized. All the complimentary toiletries were upscale and there was enough for my whole family. There’s just so many positive things about this hotel, a true gem, if you are looking for something in this area, it’s everything you are looking for and more.

Best location if you need to return rental car before you fly. Just 3 minutes drive. The hotel facilities have been recently renovated and everything is spot-on! The room has absolutely everything you would ever need, good coffee, appliances, nice lightning, super clean bathroom. Reading chair and working desk. (The only problem is they don't offer water in the room). Nice swimming pool and gym. Downsides: They charge parking, and the check-in staff could be kinder. They interacted with me and other foreign guests in a rather bossy way.
