It was a fine place to stay for the night. Clean, felt safe. Plenty of parking (free), which was very appreciated. However, the staff wasn’t very accommodating. (Example: $20 fee to check in one hour early, despite room already being ready. Told us they couldn’t give any extra pillows because the front desk staff “doesn’t know where they are and no housekeepers work at night, etc.) For the price, and based on pictures, I expected it to be nicer. The highway outside can be heard loudly inside the rooms.

A motorcycle event created a safety, fire and parking issue for the other guests at the hotel. They were loud well into the next morning for 2 days. Hotel staff and police didn't do anything. The elevator was broken on friday and they hotel staff said someone was coming to fix it that night but it was not fixed until sunday. The hotel's website says breakfast was complimentary but did not mention it would cost. Their business center had 2 desks/computers but only 1 worked and the printer never worked. I also learned there was a pool but it was closed. The management was not going to offer anyone a discount for this but when inquired they were willing to adjust my rate for the 1st night. When asked management said if guests were unhappy; they would have checked out. How does that work when a stay is booked through an agency and non-refundable after the fact? I learned the maid service only comes every 2 days so I put my trash and towels outside my room to be taken on the 2nd day but didn't get anything replaced in the room. I had to ask for replacements on 2 separate days. I put the do not disturbe sign on the 3rd night as no one came to take trash check on the room.

Booked this hotel because on line was advertised as having shuttle service to hotel. After checking in and even scheduling our pick up time for shuttle a staff member came to our room to tell us they no longer have shuttle service to airport!!! We would have never booked a room here if we would have known!! Website still has ohare shuttle service listed!! So we still had to drive to airport and pay to park there! Totally defeating the purpose of booking this room!! And on top of that the room smelled like a old dirty ashtray!!!

The property said it had a pool, pool closed and hadn’t been open all year. One of two elevators was out of order. The ice machine didn’t work on our floor. We were not told any of this upon checking in. The building itself was run down. Bricks missing, air conditioners didn’t work well and was very loud, ceiling was crumbling, carpet was puckered. I guess that’s what you get for the price you pay for a night. The bed was decent and the room was quiet. We were on the top floor at the far end:

Room was clean. Bed was ok but not great. Pillows were awful. One elevator bank for all rooms. Restaurant and lounge need facelifts - very dark and dreary. Breakfast menu is limited but cooked to order. Not cheap. Had a great mushroom Swiss burger with side salad that I took to my room. A ton of contractors during the day but gone by 5pm - good thing because before 5, they take up all parking spaces close to entrance.

Actually, we scouted out other locations for our frequent trips to Chicago. The Hillside facility is very tired, with unrepaired walls, doors, etc. The airport van looks like it rolled off of a steep embankment. There is a depression in the asphalt literally at the entrance that fills with water and trash. At some point, someone will have a slip and fall when it inevitably fills with water and then freezes. The woman who cleans at the front each morning is FABULOUS...not so much for the desk personnel.

Having stayed at many Best Western Plus hotels, we have come to expect a certain level of overall experience. This location failed in our opinion. The staff was unfriendly and boarder lined rude, there were no functioning ice machines in the entire hotel, the hotel room doors had a 1” gap at the bottom, the beds were squeaky so every time someone rolled over the others woke up, bathroom was barely big enough for 1 person and the sink counter was extremely low and we were not in an accessible room, the rooms were non-smoking but you could tell that they had been, a/c units were loud, furniture was very outdated, interior signage is very outdated and damaged and in some places not readable or even in place. This hotel didn’t offer free breakfast but did have water and coffee available. The parking lot monument sign has a digital clock on the reader board that was over 3 hours incorrect and the parking lot needed a good cleaning. Overall disappointed and frustrated with the amount we paid for the quality we received and would not recommend.

They had a room for me when I was abandoned by the Airline companies and the hotels closest to O'Hare was overbooked. So, I am grateful. However, the condition of the hotel is more unimpressive- right from the faulty half broken old room-key swiping machine to seeing hair in the bathroom walls. The staff was courteous but the night manager clearly needs support for when there are 10 people waiting to get checked in. Not a great representative of the BW brand.

I was given a room with a broken toilet, then transferred to another that had an occupant. From there I was finally put into another room, but again the toilet didn’t work. I also was told $25/animal which of course changed into $25/day/room with animals when I arrived. The area was clean and half of staff was accommodating could have been a better experience. I was not compensated in anyway although the room changes were because of the hotel’s issues not even a breakfast voucher. After a long travel you expect better quality.

Decided to stay here as it had very high ratings on hotels.com but was disappointed that it wasn't up to my standards for the rate I paid for the room. It was not in the nicest neighborhood, there were sketchy people hanging around outside and in the lobby, and I did not see any cameras in the parking lot. I was concerned that our car might get broken into. The door keys do not work well and the ice machine right outside our room did not work. I think the elevator may be the original from when the hotel was built. The room itself was decent but the bed was VERY firm.

The Best Western Plus Chicago Hillside is a good value for what they charge. The hotel is older and a little long in the tooth these days and could use some renovation but it's nothing that ruined my stay. Big surprise: the breakfast (which you have to pay extra for) was very tasty, although I wish they'd use real instead of plastic silverware.

The drinks and water in the machines were only $2.00, which was less expensive than other hotels I have been in. The onsite restaurant food was great, it was at a reasonabe price and you got your money's worth. The hotel offered a breakfast buffet for only $12.00 on Saturday.
