Holiday Inn Express & Suites Aurora - Naperville by IHG

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Aurora - Naperville by IHG

8/10 Good
"First the room was clean, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Andrew was particularly welcoming and sincere. Some things I haven’t seen in other reviews: first, if you are in the back of the building, you will hear the train all day and night, second the building itself is older, and in need of repair in places: the A/C unit is very loud, and so is the mini fridge, and third the hotel is not in the best location. There’s a lot of construction, and while I felt safe, it’s really just a location to sleep."
