I had to cancel a room due to family illness (we called our family the day before going up and everyone was ill with the flu). I called the Oak Lawn Hilton as soon as I found this out (within 5 minutes), at 4:45 the day prior to the reservation, and they insisted on charging me for a full night. I even asked if I could just reschedule and they said that they'd still charge me for the night regardless.

I will not stay at the Oak Lawn Hilton ever again.

Bottom line, don't book a room here if there's even the slightest possibility you may have to cancel.

It is very conveient if you need to be in the southwest suburbs. We stayed to be close to family instead of staying downtown, it is a nice place if you need to stay in the area. The rooms and lobby have been remodelded there is a resturant and bar on property, and close to Midway.

We stayed there on business. It is not a super high quality Hilton, but it is well located close to restaurants, a few shops and Walgreens. The first night we got there, we had to change rooms because our room reeked of smoke (we had asked for non-smoking room). The other room was much better, but we had to settle for 2 double instead of a king. The room was fairly large. The upkeep of the room was kept to a minimum and they did not replenish the tea supply every time. The water pressure - especially if we wanted hot water - was weak.

The gym and pool facilities were very nice - I used them twice. There is a Starbucks inside, which is convenient. The staff is very friendly. We paid $79/night plus tax, so we may stay there again.

The round hotel has been a place I have stayed several times in the past several years. It is close to Midway Airport, has free parking and internet. The fitness center and pool are nice.

The televisions are too small in the rooms. The rooms themselves are nice but it would be wise to get a room that faces the street and not the railroad tracks. I made that mistake ONCE.

All in all it is a nice facility and is close to many restaurants. Not really that close to downtown but you can drive there relatively quickly as far as Chicago is concerned. You could drive to Midway and take the orange line into town also.
