Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chicago West - Oak Park by IHG

The hotel is in an excellent location. It has a skybridge connection to the next-door parking garage that is super. Surprisingly, the area was very quiet. The only problem is the VERY SLOW elevator. Incredibly, amazingly slow elevator. If your room is on the second floor, it isn't much of a problem because that's the skybridge level, but any other floor ... ugh!

Great location in the heart of quaint Oak Park. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was really tasty for hotel style buffet. We would definitely stay again!

Clean rooms, friendly staff. Breakfast was really good. Parking was in the back of the building but was easy to access the hotel through the 3rd floor.

The hotel was perfect for us. From the moment we walked in the staff was super friendly and helpful. Which is nice because the city can feel overwhelming when you first get there. The young lady that checked us in Sunday afternoon and Isreal who was there when we checked out were very professional and genuine. Decent breakfast but we didn’t come to a world class cuisine city like Chicago to eat free breakfast from a hotel so we only had it once. The area had a a random homeless person here or there but it’s not like they are bothering anyone. I never felt unsafe walking the area. It’s a really nice area with lots of people and shops and dinner options. A very famous Chicago Deep Dish pizza place it right down the street. Target and CVS down the street. Just super convenient. We Ubered a bit but it’s a 4 minute walk to the green line train station. Learn to take that. It’s a straight shot into downtown. Super easy. Get off on Washington/wabash and your right next to the Bean, millennium park, and not far from the riverwalk. Parking lot behind the hotel isn’t that tricky. Just keep going up until you see the entrance for the hotel. 7 bucks a day. I traveled with 2 young daughters and we loved all of it. Big city so obviously be careful and aware but we loved it.

Parking and validation were not clear. Everything else was great.
