Although it appears this place has been recently renovated, the air condition units are old. This means jet engine like noise each time the unit turns on. I tried switching rooms to no avail. Had to sleep with unit off and bear the heat. Stay somewhere else if you can't sleep with noise. Other than that, hotel fine. More

Stayed here for conference date of May 16-20th. It appears to be a pleasant older hotel with nice conference facilities on 2nd and 9th floor. However the elevators were extremely slow for a hotel this size. There were only two elevator for 7 floors of rooms!and seemed we were waiting all the time! We had requested a king and got... More

Stayed at the Hilton Orrington while attending a conference there is past weekend (19 May). The staff service levels are very good, particularly the efficient front desk and housekeeping. However, the hotel itself leaves much to be desired and we wondered how they managed to get or keep the AAA four star rating they display in the lobby. The elevators... More

Room wasn't ready until 5PM (I had arrived early, they told me to wait until 3PM which is checkin time). I did. I had to keep checking with the front desk. The typical answer was "I don't know what's going on with this room." Then, at one point, I was told "this particular room is worth waiting for." Since I'm... More

The Orrington is quite an old hotel by US standards but has been well maintained and sensitively updated, within the limits of the property. The Sherriff's Lady and I stayed there for a couple of nights while I had business at Northwestern. It was pretty full with a lot of high-school kids on some event, which generated congestion in the... More

Thank you for your review! I am glad to hear that the front desk took care of you when you told them about the service error during breakfast. We cannot train and correct these sorts of issues unless we hear about them, so I greatly appreciate your feedback! More

The Good: Excellent location, very nice, comfortable room, very friendly and helpful staff. The Bad: The in-room air handling unit was so loud that I had to buy earplugs after the first night, or I wouldn't have been able to stay there. I think it is a function of the age of the building, which appears to have been renovated... More

Also, next time you vist, please let the front desk know that you do not like the toilet paper, and we'd... More

We were here for my cousins wedding - people flew in from all over the country. The whole wedding and reception took place right in the hotel, so we were there all weekend. Really nice rooms, beautiful ballroom and great food. The bar was a little small which made hanging out there tight. Close to Chicago too so we were... More
