Holiday Inn Mart plaza was a true bargain in a good location in chicago. I drove there with my 3 young nephews to show them the city. We walked everywhere with ease and had in/out parking priviledges ($38) per day parking (high, but actually a better deal than other hotels). The room was clean, comfortable and big enough to fit...

The concierge Robert was really good with helping us get around the city. We had no clue where anything was but his directions and tips helped us a lot. We were able to make the most of our trip with his help. He was able to answer every question we had and gave us a pass that got us to... More

Having to park a car, we found this to be a good option for us. We paid $10 more for a "room with a view" -- and that is totally worth it! The view is beautiful -- we even slept with the curtains open. Since we were on the 22nd floor, the street noise was hardly noticeable. You could tell... More

I just got back from a conference in Chicago. Although I have been to the Windy City several times, this was a series of firsts for me. Landing at Midway Airport on Southwest Airlines is much simpler than arriving at O'Hare. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has a train stop right at the airport, the Orange line. Since it is...

We selected this property for the positive reviews found here and the excellent base rate for our Saturday night stay (March 31) of $154 (AAA rate). The hotel sits atop the Chicago Sun Times building where the Chicago River branches to the north. It is very easy to get to for an urban hotel. Guests ascend a bank of elevators... More

The lobby was impressive but thats about it. It is hard to believe this hotel was recently renovated. I stayed in a double queen room. The carpet looked filthy and the furniture was trashed. The bed was so uncomfortable. The staff at the front desk and in the City Bar were extremely rude and snarky. The location is inconvenient and... More

I would give this a 4>5 if I could. Clean, modern and close to the action More

If you can get a view on the river, that alone is worth it, and the price was reasonable ($100 w/AAA discount during the week.) The location is also very practical. The negative sides were: no breakfasts included and you get pushed out too early from the downstairs bar; even it closes, let's say at midnight, they start blowing the... More

We chose this hotel because we got a good rate. It was like staying in a huge empty factory. No restaurant for breakfast room service is your only option. Food was good and hot but not worth the cost. The only bar closes at 11:30 and the employees try to get you out quickly. Good for location good if you... More
