We booked this hotel through hotwire for three nights. The price was excellent, less than $40 a night before tax, so that was a definite plus. We had room 158. It had two double beds, a nice sized bathroom and the shower had great water pressure. The bed was very very VERY comfortable, though it would have been nicer if they were Queen instead of full size. Oh well.... There was a nice selection of channels on the flat panel LCD TV in the room. The beds were covered with a down featherbed and the pillows were fetherdown too. Real luxury. We were given hot chocolate chip cookies on arrival and again on departure. The staff was helpful in planning our visits to the museums in Chicago. It was a very nice stay and we would stay there again. One more thing...they charge 9.95 a day for internet in your room, but if you go to the lobby to use your laptop, they will give you a code to use there and internet is free. The business center on the 2nd floor has a color laser printer that was great for printing confirmations etc. We were very pleased with our stay.

We visited Chicago on a pleasure trip over the weekend. There was a convention in town and we ended up booking this hotel through Hotwire. The price was definitely right. We stayed on the 1st floor across the pool. We would strongly suggest having a car. If you want to go downtown, park at the Purple Line Linden station for $2. Busses only run until 8 PM (we learned that the hard way).

Good:
- Friendly staff: The staff at the hotel was really nice
- Location: Close to the Airport (10 minutes by car)
- Indoor corridor
- Quiet Area: The hotel was deserted on the weekend. Being in an industrial area, there was very little local traffic as well.
- Shuttle Bus to Train Station: We didn't take it but it's a nice to have. WARNING: Only in operation from 6-9 AM and then for the afternoon rush.
- Fitness Center and Pool
- Multiple Entrances: can use a side entrance to avoid going though the smoking hallway (and yes it does smell)
- Ample Parking

Watch out for:

- Washroom size: As someone mentioned, the bathrooms are small. The lock was jammed and the bathtub filled with water and didn't train properly. With two guys, bathroom size was not much of an issue.
- Old Decor: The hotel definitely needs some upgrading. I don't know if the higher floors are better. Our furniture and bathroom were in need of repair
- Internet (no Wi-Fi) and telephone calls cost money (even for local calls) We tried the lobby phone but that didn't work
- Stuffy Room: The room was stuffy probably because the heating/air conditioning unit was right under the curtains causing them to move about and spread around dust

Overall, this was an okay hotel. Probably wouldn't stay here again though.

My wife and I stayed at the Doubletree for four nights in April 2007 on a pleasure trip. The hotel itself is a typical business hotel within a business park environment.

Room: what you'd expect, nice pillows, working appliances, spacious bath room.

We particularly liked the complimentary shuttle to the METRA station at Wood Dale (best connection into downtown Chicago) and a generally helpful staff. I also liked the indoor pool. The restaurant serves good dinner as well as a nice breakfast buffet (@ 9.95 per person).

I was a bit surprised at the 9.95 price tag they put on the high-speed internet access, this is something I have come to expect for free.

All in all a good alternative for someone who wants to explore Chicagoland by car and by public transport.

Stayed here for one night when my flight from Chicago O'Hare airport was canceled and the next flight wasn't until the next day. The desk staff checked me in quickly and efficiently. The room was outstanding - a suite with separate living and bedrooms. Very comfortable bed and furniture. Good quality bedding, and probably the softest towels I've ever used. Bar was cozy, room service quick and of good quality, honestly I could not find fault anywhere. The hotel arranged a cab the next morning which was timely and reasonable.

In all likelihood, I'll never pass through Wood Dale, Illinois again. However, should that change and I need a hotel there, I would rush to the Doubletree!
