We just returned from a three night stay at this hotel, and it was wonderful. The room was very clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and always greeted us as we walked by. The free breakfast was one of the best free hotel breakfast I have had in a long time. There was a lot of food to choose from, and they had made to order omelettes! My five year old daughter loved the pool and whirlpool as it was also in great shape.

The hotel is close to almost every chain restaurant there is, and then some. There are also several places to shop nearby. The Arlington Park Metra station is about 5 miles away, which we used to take downtown (it's about a 45 minute train ride, but much better than driving).

Overall, I was very satisfied with the value we received. Our room was $109 a night, and considering it was a suite, included a great breakfast and managers reception (aka free beer for two hours), you really can't ask for anything else.

The only thing that caught me off guard was the charge to use the internet. There was a data port in the room, but you had to pay $9.95 for 24 hours of use. Most places these days won't charge you to use the internet, but considering all the other things above that were included with your rate, you really can't fault them for it.

I travelled from Ireland to Schaumburg for a week for business in the area and brought my 2 grown up daughters with me so they could shop. That was the reason I stayed here, because of the 2-room suites which meant I could get up early each morning without disturbing my daughters.

Some good things about the hotel and some bad. From a good perspective, the rooms were fine, clean and comfortable and the staff were in general, very nice and very helpful, both to me and the girls. I am a Hilton HHonors Gold member and we did get some nice treatments such as a late checkout (4pm) and the hotel paid for a taxi to bring my daughters to the mall one day when the shuttle bus was busy.

However, there were about 160 13-15 year old teenagers staying in the hotel and it was terrible. They were inadequately supervised most of the time and the noise was awful, right throughout the night. Running through the corridors, shouting and yelling in the lobby area, which because of the atrium reaching every single floor and every single room made their arrival sound like a riot each night. Phoning to the front desk on several occassions made little diference. We also had to move rooms, because the room directly above us had a group of kids who sounded like they were trampolining all night long. And then there was the morning when one of the unsupervised kids though it would be funny to put iced donuts through the bagel toaster, almost setting fire to the machine and making it unusable for other guests.

It was definitely this group which caused all my issues during this stay, but I still blame the hotel managment for dealing with them badly. They should have all been housed on the ground floor, away from other guests and the hotel should have had additional security to keep them away from other floors and under control while they were there.

This hotel stay was no fun :-(

We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Schaumburg for 2 nights. I will cover the positive things first. The beds are comfortable. As with all Embassy Suites the room was spacious. The pool area was clean and there were plenty of pool towels available. The bartenders were friendly during happy hours and breakfast buffet is normal for Embassy Suites. The complaints about the hotel are not major but enough that I believe they need to be mentioned. The elevators at the hotel are very slow, which normally would not be an issues except for the lack of service elevators, which meant that the housekeeping staff and their large carts took up three quarters of the space in the elevator each morning. The first night we called for extra towels, it took two calls a and a long wait to get the towels. The second night we called for an extra blanket, this time it took 3 calls and then 45 minutes later we received our blanket. I would say it was a nice enough hotel as long as you are not in a hurry for anyting. Also when we mentioned our problems to the front desk we were given many excuses but never an apology.

Totally getting what you paid for.

We paid $109 per night for a suite. Went for a shopping weekend to chicago. This hotel is near nothing but some Corporate Head Offices, but is well located (if you have a car) to hit the major Outlet malls in Chicago-area.

Hotel was clean, rooms a good size. Free Breakfast, really hard to beat this place for $109 per night.

I'd stay there again if I was going shopping or needed to be in the 'burbs. It's about 45 mins from downtown.
