Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago North Shore (Skokie) by IHG

Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago North Shore (Skokie) by IHG

8/10 Good
"I would stay here again if visiting Chicago. The location was about 20 min from downtown Chicago, and there is a lot of things to do locally in Skokie. The hotel room was unseasonably warm even though we had the AC set to 67 degrees. We were still very warm in the room. The room location and parking was very good and the staff even walked you to the room with the different turns to get there. Bar Louie in the hotel was a bonus, we did not have to leave for entertainment. If you stay here I would recommend getting the breakfast added on to make things easier for you. We had pancakes, wraps, french toast, sausage, eggs, potatos, fruit, yogurt, a large array of pastry, oatmeal or cold cereal options, coffee and OJ daily."

"Only complaint was very noisy on the floor my first night and next morning. Lots of families with slamming doors and yelling for over 2 hours starting 6:30am. Maybe families can stay in one section of hotel as a rule. It was hard to deal with"

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

8/10 Good
"This hotel is in a great location. You can’t ask for anything more central and with an easy walking distance to all of the public transit. The rooms were fine. The view was great, but the check-in process was not very easy. Arrived 15 minutes before 4 PM. Had to stand in line to check in only to find out the room was not ready. Had to wait another 15 minutes, the staff tried very hard, but had to wait on housekeeping."
