The other title I was considering... "1979 wants its Holiday Inn back"

I stayed at this Holiday Inn on a last minute trip.

The rooms on the backside of the hotel have brick enclosed balconies. Unfortunately, the only things that separates your balcony and the next few rooms' balconies are a few thin rails. So, if your neighbors decide to go sit outside and talk loudly while smoking, you're going to hear and smell them for however long they want to stay out there.

The furniture looked like it had been there awhile. The tub had apparently been recently resealed to the tile..... not very well or neatly.

The hallways weren't very clean. The floors were vaccuumed, but the walls were scuffed up and looked kind of bad.

If I needed a place to stay at the last minute again, I might stay here, but in my opinion it isn't worth the prices they are charging. Every other Holiday Inn Express i have ever stayed in was WAY better than this one.

This hotel has apparently been renovated since the original reviews were written. It deserves several more stars. We plan to stay here from now on when in the Chicago area.

The lobby is nicely decorated and very cozy with a fireplace and a low brick wall around the seating area. There is a breakfast room adjacent and the free breakfast provided everything you can think of including scrambled eggs and bacon one day and biscuits and gravy the next. The warm, fresh cinnamon rolls were outstanding.

Our room was a standard hotel room, nicely done, but the beds were fabulous. They had pillow tops and four pillows each, two firm and two soft. I was so comfortable that I wanted to take one home with me.

The location is excellent, just off the expressways, and there are restaurants galore in the area, several within walking distance. Also, you can get a significant discount on the room rate if you pay in advance.

I loved this hotel. It was clean, seemed newish, and our room was an adequate size -- not huge, but not small either. The bedspreads were just coverlets, with white clean sheets. It seemed well taken care of. The hotel was located among many fine restaurants and shops, just down the street (several miles, about 5?) from the Oak Brook shopping center. It was also near a Costco, a Trader Joe's and the Great Outdoors. Though we didn't make it there this time, it was also near an IKEA. I like staying in this area in that you get all the benefits of the city without the horrible traffic. Not that the traffic isn't congested, but it's not nearly as bad as Lake Shore drive can be!
