Booked this one through priceline for the last night of a recent trip for $95 (a jaunt to Indiana to see family book-ended by good times in Chicago). We weren't expecting much, just a convenient location and free shuttle to the airport for our very early a.m. flight. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! The hotel was beautiful, the staff was great, and the room was fantastic with a very comfortable bed. We could also see downtown Chicago from our room...which promptly inspired us to use the free hotel airport shuttle. We caught a free ride over to Midway, hopped on the orange line into the city (took about a half hour or so), geeked out on the Sears Tower, had a nice cocktail and some appetizers in a very nice downtown hotel lobby (sorry, don't remember which one), and caught the last train back to Midway--where we were promptly picked up again by the free hotel shuttle. Awesome. We couldn't have spent a better last night in Chicago and were totally not expecting to sneak in one last hurrah out on the town! In the morning we got a drama free shuttle back to Midway.

I don't know that I would recommend booking a Midway area hotel for a fun trip to Chicago...we actually got our room downtown (Hyatt Regency) for the first two nights we were there cheaper than the Marriott...and riding the train back and forth would probably get old after a day or two...but I can definitely recommend this hotel.

As a lover of Marriot hotels, I booked two rooms for a mother/darughter weekend to see The Color Purple. My mom, grandma and cousin arrived that afternoon. They didn't hesitate to call me to rave about how beautiful the hotel was. "Great pick," they said. Later that evening, I flew in to Midway then caught the trolley straight to the hotel. It was the best experience- fast and convenient. There are several restaurants nearby both fast food and dine in. If you're looking for a taste of Chicago Giordano's is down the street and they deliver. Another plus is that to get downtown is a ten minute drive, much closer than O'Hare. Would definately stay again.

My husband won a trip to Chicago to see the Titans and Bears play. It included airfare and Hotel accommodations at The Hilton Chicago. Compare the two, my husband and I were much more pleased with the Marriott that we booked ourselves, as far as the comfort, room accommodations and price difference between the two.

Thumbs up all the way for the Marriott at Midway, 2008!!!!

This hotel seemed to be the nicest in the area and competitively prices. This hotel isn't terrible but it isn't good either. The lobby smells so bad and odd that the smells could actually be fumes that are bad for your health. The staff pretends to be helpful but never follows up on needs or issues. They asked us for a card but incidentals and claimed it would not be charged. We then found random charges for $75, $95 etc... For every day that we were there. And our rooms were pre-paid using Marriot points! They said they would remove the charges but never actually removed them! Puddles of water were left in the elevator on fake marble floors. The star bucks in the lobby has only left over and stale pastries and the neighborhood is surrounded by check cashing places and liquor stores. Stay away and if you do, please only use a credit card.
