Nice, but needs a little more work.
The common spaces were nicely renovated, but the parking garage was VERY rough… Broken concrete, unswept, just rough. The room was nice, but it was clear the bathrooms did not receive renovations with the rooms. Staff was super nice, they just need a little more work on the facilities.

Great service & location!
Great service, all of the staff members were very friendly! The location is also great - near by restaurants and cafes, a Metra station and not a far walk to the lake front.

4/10 Fair

Expensive parking
Stay was absolutely average, which would have been fine, but I was completely annoyed by the charge for the parking in the run down, unlit parking deck. It was $18 for the night, which is much less than in a large city location but ridiculous for a suburban hotel, especially for a garage that appeared to be falling apart and had no lighting at night.

No choice 1/2025
The room was a room. Although when i pulled back the shower curtain there was a used, dried up wash cloth from a previous renter. Then being bored i started to look around there are some sorta skid markes in tub. Skid marks on the bathroom wall. Cob webs n extrime floor dust and dirt around every baseboard. There were cheese it cracker crumbs on floor, No, i have not eaten any they were not cleaned up. I know Holiday Inn prides their self on cleanliness, but site manager needs to do pop up expections, to regulate.

The need better sofa beds.
We reserved 2 queens months in advance and got a king with pull out sofa. The sofa bed was too small for 2 adults and the mattress too thin (laying on the crossbar not great).
