NICE... BUT PRICEY BREAKFAST ... POOL COLD...AND NEED A CAR
07/13/2008Our family of 5 stayed here for a little get away..thinking it would be nice because holiday inns have free breakfast (this is the first i stayed at that ...
OUR FAMILY OF 5 STAYED HERE FOR A LITTLE GET AWAY..THINKING IT WOULD BE NICE BECAUSE HOLIDAY INNS HAVE FREE BREAKFAST (THIS IS THE FIRST I STAYED AT THAT DIDNT)..SO I NEVER CHECKED AHEAD. (THE IN HOLIDAY INN RESTAURANT ONLY SERVES BREAKFAST). THEY MENTION THEY WILL GIVE A FREE SHUTTLE TO ANYWHERE WITHIN 8 MILES AND THEY DO AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT BUSY. WE WANTED TO GO CATCH THE BLUE LINE INTO DOWNTOWN CHICAGO OR GO TO A LOCAL LARGE SHOPPING MALL ON FRIDAY BUT THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO TAKE US UNTIL 6PM. YOU REALLY NEED A RENTAL CAR..WHICH YOU NEED TO GET ONE FROM THE AIRPORT BECAUSE THE LOCAL ENTERPRISE DIDNT HAVE ANY AVAILABLE WHEN WE CALLED. THEY ALSO DONT HAVE MUCH NEARBY..IT IS AN INDUSTRIAL AREA AND SINCE WE WERE STUCK WITH NO CAR THE ONLY THING NEARBY WAS A WENDYS AND STARBUCKS, QUIZNOS AND A CHINESE FAST FOOD. OTHERWISE UNLESS YOU PAY A FORTUNE FOR BREAKFAST AT THE HOTEL...YOU WILL NEED A CAR TO GET YOU A FEW MILES AWAY FOR BREAKFAST FOOD. THE RESTAURANT ATTACHED TO THE HOTEL (OLD CHICAGO) IS A GREAT PLACE FOR LUNCH AND DINNER...A LITTLE PRICEY.. BUT THE PORTIONS ARE LARGE...AND THEIR PIZZA IS WONDERFUL. WE ATE THERE TWICE AND SERVICE WAS GREAT. THE POOL WAS LARGE AND THE KIDS ENJOYED IT BUT IT WAS VERY COLD FOR A "HEATED POOL". THE HOT TUB WAS NICE. THE ROOMS WERE CLEAN AND ABOUT 3/4 OF THE STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY...A COUPLE OF THE CLERKS WERNT NASTY ...JUST NOT FRIENDLY. THE HOTEL IS LOUD WITH AIRPLANES OVER HEAD ALL NIGHT BUT THAT REALLY DIDNT KEEP US FROM SLEEPING SINCE WE RAN THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE ROOMS WERE NICE SIZE..NO FRIDGE OR MICROWAVE..WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR OUR LEFT OVER PIZZA..ETC..
