The room was very tiny and didn’t have a fridge, microwave or even chair and table to sit at. When we opened our window we could see straight into the room of our neighbor. The hotel is also being protested for cutting their union, so our check in experience was affected by that. We would not have booked if we had known these facts beforehand. The staff was polite, but we Definitely will not stay again

Not a bad place for a Chicago Trip

The wife and I wanted to stay near the Harry Potter Store for a few days. We chose Holiday Inn Express based on price and name recognition. The pros -quick and easy check in -inexpensive -convenient location -just a few minutes walk to Red Line Station The cons -Room was small -No Fridge Overall we liked the hotel. We might decide to spend a little more on a nicer place next time. There may have been nicer/larger rooms in the higher floors. It was nice having Trader Joe’s on the next block. We also walked to eat at Gordon Ramsays, Quartino and Eatily. We mainly wanted to be within walking distance of the Harry Potter store, and this fit the bill

Fantastic location

Excellent location. Rooms are on the smaller side, but comfy beds and good bathroom is all we needed. Would definitely stay here again. I added the $80/day parking on this website - I don’t recommend this, it’s $55 at the hotel. Parking conveniently located.

I have a sick parent that I help to take care of one week per year. I have been staying at other hotels, but this Holiday Inn Express was the best I really liked the free breakfast. There were great choices. I also am very impressed with the Internet service. The bed was very comfortable and I liked the shower. I liked how I was able to pay less by not having housekeeping daily. The vending machines did not work properly. I did tell a staff member about that. Thank you for providing an excellent place to stay as I am helping my parents.
