Courtyards are my go-to hotel brand and this one does not disappoint. Staff was very helpful and location was close to shopping and restaurants. One minor ding was the parking situation where I had to pay $20 to park.

We have stayed at this Courtyard several times when we have wanted to be close to events in the heart of the city. Our room has been a good one. They have a small restaurant in the hotel the hotel has a walk way to a shopping area with a food court.

I stayed at The Courtyard last weekend, like I have done 4 or 5 other times. The location is ideal being right in the center of downtown. You are in walking distance to several restaurants, bars, and The Bradley Center where I went to watch a basketball game. The property is connected to a mall wth shops and restaurants, and is also connected to a parking garage. I enjoy going to the casino, and it is only about 2 miles away. The immenities are good and the staff is very courteous. Last, the Courtyard is directly off of Interstate I-94 which makes it extremely easy to access when I come and go from Chicago.

My family and I stayed here over the weekend and had a pleasant experience. The room was very clean and comfortable. We had a room with king bed and pull out which was perfect for our family of four. Great location downtown close to everything and with a connection to the Grand Avenue Mall. It was a very cold day and was grateful for the valet parking offered at the hotel (self parking $15/ valet $18). The lobby is a nice place to hang out in with computers to use and booths with t.v.'s that I used when the rest of the family was asleep.Probably the one thing that kept this hotel from being great was a free continental breakfast. They have a very nice looking bistro that offers drinks, sandwiches and salads but we didn't try it. Also a small marketplace with snacks, drinks, and other good.
