BE AWARE IN THE PARKING LOT! The hotel is fine. As expected for a Marriott. The parking lot, though, is not monitored, not lit properly, and is generally not secure. We had our catalytic converter stolen and the hotel will take no responsibility. The hotel blames corporate. Corporate doesn't respond. We are very disappointed with this hotel chain.

This is always the best place to stay if you're going to the Ravinia festival. I love the fact that they offer shuttle service. It is $10 per person but definitely worth it. Getting a hotel here lessens the stress of driving parking etc etc. It is very clean and the staff is very friendly. We were there to see John Legend on the Sunday he performed there. The woman who was driving the shuttle was very very helpful. Me and my friend had quite a bit of stuff with us we had chairs and a cooler etc and she made them off fit so that was wonderful. One thing I didn't really like is the fact that they had a bottle of water in the room and they charge you $6 for it. That part of hotel stays always puzzles me a bit because really why do you have to charge for a bottle of water? But overall it was a great day I will definitely go back again. Next time I will explore the pool and the food that they have to offer I really didn't have much time there. Normally I take pictures of the hotels that I go to but for some reason I forgot to do it this time.

The building was really nice, the only real complain my wife & I had was that the bar was part of the entrance foyer with kids & teenagers hanging around. The bar "area" was NOT very baridh at all. Bar should be placed in a more private area.

Have stayed here before and at many other courtyards. This property is slipping. Checked into rom for 8 day stay. Found food in frig from previous guest. When I pulled back bed to covers I found a small suspicious looking red stain. Perhaps blood. If was too late to demand housekeeping task I slept on towels and was a bit creeped out. I called desk early next morning to explain situation and asked that the linens be changed in the next 10 hours. Imagine my disappointment when I returned 12 hours later and the linen had not been changed. Called desk and clerk told me they were very busy and they would get to it the next day. Unacceptable- I demanded a refund or room change. Housekeeping arrived an hour later. Overlay room and property are ok- needs attention to detail and better staff supervision. Potion and patio furniture in courtyard are dirty. Some doors and other things in common spaces need update and maintenance.

The location was convenient to the concert venue. The property was in decent condition and overall the room was ok. Beds seemed to be smaller than queen size as indicated on Expedia and were squeaky when turning over. Not sure if they were air mattesses or it was the bed padding, but very annoying if you are a light sleeper or someone that turns a lot throughout the night.

Everything was good except for two things, one significant and the other minor. The significant issue was that we stayed on the west side of the property which faces a gas station that plays very loud music at its pump bases throughout the evening and early morning. Very frustrating to lose significant sleep over before evening. Stay. Address the issue with hotel management, but apparently they were unable to reduce the volume. Will avoid that side of the property in the future. The lesser issue was that a piece in the shower that appeared to be a foot rust was broken when we arrived.

The staff were by far the standout feature of this property. I wish I had his name, but there was a young man with a slight accent (maybe Irish) working the front desk, and I've never seen more hustle in a hotel staff person in my life. He did everything, including running back and forth between the front desk and the Starbucks counter to make sure that we were happy. I will definitely be coming back!

I did an advanced remote check in and recd a text/ email saying I was checked in. Only to arrive after 10 hours of driving to be told that wasn't the case. This was a huge inconvenience because I was enroute to an event and passed a relatives home that I could have stopped at and gotten ready but I was under the impression that I had someplace to go. All I ask is don't send any communication saying you're checked in if there isn't going to be a room available. The manager on duty was condescending & may need remedial customer service training. She was nothing short of offensive and I was far from belligerent my tone and volume were that of a normal conversation. I was miffed by her presentation as she, in that moment, was the face of your organization. I was disappointed.

Staff were very kind and had good communication even though there were a lot of delays in getting everyone’s rooms ready. I arrived at 4:30 only to find out that my room wasn’t ready and there were a whole bunch of people in the lobby waiting for theirs as well. They were very apologetic once the room was finally available a few hours later, and it was clean and comfortable so I have no complaints! I hope they’re able to figure out their staffing issues to avoid future delays for their own sakes.

I made reservation weeks ago and prepaid could have saved a better room for someone not part of the sports team mayhem. Not much around the hotel if you don’t have a car. Can walk to Burger King or convenience store.

The outdoor space is great, the accomadations inside are also very nice, comfortable, and spacious for families and groups. I liked each room having a balcony outside facing a small green space. I would recommend this place but it had a few issues I did not like. The pillows were awful, the kind that look good plumped up until you lay your head on them and they go flat, like letting the air out of a balloon. Sleep was difficult. Also, make sure you visit a local restaraunt for breakfast because the Starbucks breakfast bar is stupid expensive for limited options.

We stayed in this area, but traveled to the city of Chicago. Therefore, we didn't venture out in this area, but seem nice for what we did see. Breakfast was pricey, but it was good. The room was clean and comfortable. The rooms had a small balcony which was nice. We got fresh air without leaving the room. It's close to the Botanical Garden. No problems during our stay. We will stay again if in the area.
