Getting glam hair and makeup done for my Son’s Downtown Wedding was impossible because of the terrible lighting and lack of Mirrors in the room. The breakfast was nice though.

Friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing and clean. Everywhere we wanted to visit was within walking distance. On our last day in Chicago, we checked out but our flight was later in the day. They held our luggage for us so that we could sight see for a few more hours. EXCELLENT!!!

Nice location. Rooms are small, but are okay for single travelers. Trader Joe’s across the street is convenient. Parking a vehicle is expensive. Don’t pay extra for breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very tiny and didn’t have a fridge, microwave or even chair and table to sit at. When we opened our window we could see straight into the room of our neighbor. The hotel is also being protested for cutting their union, so our check in experience was affected by that. We would not have booked if we had known these facts beforehand. The staff was polite, but we Definitely will not stay again

Not a bad place for a Chicago Trip

The wife and I wanted to stay near the Harry Potter Store for a few days. We chose Holiday Inn Express based on price and name recognition. The pros -quick and easy check in -inexpensive -convenient location -just a few minutes walk to Red Line Station The cons -Room was small -No Fridge Overall we liked the hotel. We might decide to spend a little more on a nicer place next time. There may have been nicer/larger rooms in the higher floors. It was nice having Trader Joe’s on the next block. We also walked to eat at Gordon Ramsays, Quartino and Eatily. We mainly wanted to be within walking distance of the Harry Potter store, and this fit the bill
