Aloft Chicago O'Hare

Contras: Parking is a bit difficult, having to validate parking everyday ia a pain but the hotel is beautiful, clean and comfortable

Prós: Cool euro style rooms, super easy access to O Hare

Great hotel. Hard to get to. "Interesting" parking

Prós: Location was very convenient for the activities we had planned. At least two very good restaurants within easy walking distance.

Contras: Difficult to find, even with GPS, because of blocked off roads. Confusing parking structure available across the street. On-site parking was limited, but fairly priced.

Prós: Free coffee

Urban Boutique Close to O'Hare

Prós: Modern look and feel throughout, in public areas as well as guest room. Plenty of space in common areas to sit, work, read, etc. Room may not be the best for getting work done but was good for sleeping. Rates when I was there were competitive compared to other airport hotels and much less expensive than downtown. Friendly staff.

Contras: Minor complaints: Not as close to the Blue Line as advertised (although the shuttle will take you there). Entrance is hard to find by car/taxi, but once you've done it it's easy enough to remember. O'Hare is a busy airport so planes are flying overhead all day and night - otherwise fairly quiet. Mediocre coffee.
