Crowne Plaza Chicago Ohare Hotel & Conf Ctr by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"One of the better breakfast buffets. Room was perfectly clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful "

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago O'Hare Rosemont

8/10 Good

"On site restaurant was absolutely delicious, staff at check in were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast on site had a great variety of options. Room was spacious. Was quite warm even with adjusting thermostat down, and did not have a freezer option but otherwise we had a great stay and would stay here again. "

Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was wonderful and the manager is who checked us in, he was extremely helpful and kind. I will say just for those inquiring, the beds are very firm so if you need a soft mattress, I’d avoid this hotel. (We stayed in a room with two beds, maybe the king is different?) The breakfast buffet is definitely worth the $50 add on if you have more than one person with you. The real deal! "
