Chicago Marriott O'Hare

Pleasantly surprised

Prós: When I first walked in, the finishings and decor were much nicer...bordering swanky...than I expected. The 11th floor lounge was also a surprise with the various offerings of drinks and eats. It was also busy with travelers, which meant the draw for this lounge was better than most hotel "lounges".

Contras: The only negative was the wait time in the restaurant when we wanted to get a late afternoon snack.

Nice Rooms, Great Service

Prós: Rooms were better than expected, comfortable bed and pillows. Starbucks in the lobby! Breakfast buffet was excellent with lots of selection. Location and shuttle service very convenient to OHare.

Contras: Shuttle was late the morning of our departure.

Prós: It was close to the train, rooms were nice and very comfortable.

Prós: pool was nice, as was the work out space, staff was super nice and friendly especially the cleaning ladies, the place was very clean and professional.

Contras: there wasnt a fridge or anything in the room so we were not able to store any cold food and what not for the whole weekend we were there and the whole paying for your parking gets kind of annoying
