Quality Inn O'Hare Airport

10/10 Excellent

"If you have door issues. Lift up on the handle instead of down."

The Shamrock

8/10 Good

"For its price, it was worth the cost and was better than I expected. The ac worked well, and the room was very spacious. Only real complaints were a faint smell of smoke that may just be lingering from years of use and wasnt very quiet. You could easily hear the noise of the neighborhood and a mysterious hum/ring that would arise sporadically. Parking was limited, but many of the spots were taped off for work. They were free before the weekend was over."
