We planned on visiting Chicago and decided to stay at this hotel in Skokie. It was very easy to find, 94 isn't too far away and it's quite easy to get right into Chicago. The employees were really nice and we got free comp coupons for a drink. Nice way to start our hotel stay! The room was clean and spacious, the balcony was nice if you wanted to get some fresh air in the room. The breakfast buffet is what made us choose this hotel. Not many places have a free hot breakfast buffet. It was great the first morning we were there. The next morning could have been better though. Our first day/night there was better than the second. We had problems with the coffee maker, the hair dryer, and the toilet had issues the 2nd day. The pool is a nice size, the jacuzzi and sauna are a nice addition as well. The work out room is impressive too. The pool and jacuzzi could have been cleaner, but it was the weekend and there were a lot of kids staying when we were there. So considering that, the hotel is nice and I'd probably stay again. There are many close stores and restaurants right around the hotel and it's far away from downtown Chicago yet close enough! I'd recommend the Skokie Comfrot Inn to anyone!

Problem after Problem...Just not a good place to stay when in the Skokie Area. Only thing is that it is close to the Old Orchard Mall. For the price and value, I would go elsewhere.

The location of the hotel was great. Easy to get to, within minutes to Northwestern University. A lot of close restraunts. However, the hotel was not the cleanest and the outside doors were never locked. We had requested a frig prior to checking in, paid for it at check-in, and an hour and a half later, plus 3 phone calls and our groceries getting warm they still hadn't delivered it to our room. When the frig was finally delivered, it was brand new. (Which was nice, but then again, it wasn't cold at all). Some days our room hadn't been cleaned yet by 3pm. A room service tray from the room next to ours sat in the hall on the floor for at least 2 days. I can't say I wouldn't stay there again, but for the money, I think we could have done better.

First and 2nd floors have porches so smoking can be done outside of a non-smoking room. Bar is friendly. Restaurant is best fish place around. Buffet breakfast is more than enough. Family friendly, with a great pool and lots of space inside & out. Shuttle to mall, less than a mile away. Out the back door is a large food & drug store. Shuttle goes to public transportation to downtown Chicago. Easy and warm place.
