If you are traveling to Chicago, and don't want to pay $300 a night to stay downtown...STAY HERE! This hotel was very close to the Cumberland Blue Line CTA Train Station. (5-10minute walk, or 2 minute drive if you wanted to park $4 for 12hrs. to ride the CTA into downtown Chicago). The Blue Line only took about 10-15 minutes to get you right into the heart of Chicago (Millenium Park, Michigan Ave.). The breakfast was YUMMY and had a lot of variety (cereal, waffles, bagels, yogurt, eggs, sausage). They had wi-fi in the lobby, and even a business center with 2 computers open for all guests to access internet, print documents, etc. I saw a few Computers/Kiosks even set up to print out boarding passes/iteneraries for flights out of O'Hare. Parking was free...and very accessible!!! Another benefit to this hotel was that Outback Steakhouse is attached, Geno's East (pizza) was 3 blocks away, a grocery store (3 blocks), and Walgreens (3 blocks). Whatever I left at home was easy to replace with all these close by! The room was always clean and well kept. The pool was little small, but large enough to accomodate 40 people (only 5 ft deep at its deepest). The workout facility was very nice as well.

The hotel was nice enough. The common areas and room were clean and the beds were fine. The shuttle from the airport took a while to come; I saw shuttles for other hotels come by twice while waiting for the SpringHill's. The following morning, though, just as we were walking out the door the shuttle was leaving to bring other guests to the train station and the driver dropped us off at the nearby supermarket so we could by transit passes. The night we arrived we had dinner at the attached Outback Steakhouse, and the waiter there was helpful with advice on getting Chicago around by transit.

The one issue I had with the hotel was nose. Our room was on the 6th floor at the far east end of the hotel, and the noise from the trains and occasional landing aircraft was noticeable. In addition, we could hear noises coming from the vents both in the bathroom and above the kitchen area that sounded like it was coming from other rooms.

First off, this website is AMAZING!! Trip advisor has given me such great suggestions over the years, as to what places are good to stay. Hope my reviews help- This place is great-it was clean, the staff was friendly and the rooms were perfect. Catherine at the front desk was courteous. This place is close enough to the city that you can drive in (after rush hour) with relative ease. We will definitely stay here agai. Thank you Trip Advisor!!!

I stayed here for two nights because I was working a little north of Chicago. The rooms are big and clean. The staff was friendly and it was attached to an Outback restaurant which is convenient. It also had free parking which is nice. All in all, not bad.
