This location takes HHonors points, which was a huge sell. The staff was extremely courteous to me, even as a non-business traveler - which can't be said of all conference center restaurants. They're able and eager to give directions and local advice, like where to eat nearby the restaurant. The room was clean and neat, and the hotel is pretty quiet. Maybe it's all the business types and conference goers?

There's one drawback if you're staying here on the cheap to access all of Chicago. It's a very long commute anywhere downtown or even many stops north of the Loop on the Line (You must take the Yellow to the Purple to the Red Line, daunting to a Chicago newcomer) despite how long the commute is - has a bank of taxis to take you to the local L stop to take you south. If you're here on business or pleasure in Skokie or Evanston you're probably golden.
