Top Trailside Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Carleton of Oak Park

8/10 Good

"It's an older building but has its charm."

Sonesta Simply Suites Chicago O'Hare Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff Clean room laundry Kitchen"

Quality Inn O'Hare Airport

8/10 Good

"Overall experience was great. No elevator to bring up luggage that I saw. Room was clean and staff were friendly and professional. Restaurant and bar is great to have since there’s not many restaurants in the area. There’s a gym on the lower floor that kind of hidden. Would come back again next time I’m in town."

"Everything was amazing. If I must come back to the city, I would stay here again. Thank you for the good service and experience."

Four Points by Sheraton Chicago O'Hare Airport

8/10 Good

"No uvo desaguno incluido"

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."

VIBE INN - WHIRLPOOL SUITES

10/10 Excellent

"Hell of a deal, huge hot tub, nice staff 24/7, quiet, comfy, et al"
