The location could not be better if you're an avid shopper or foodie. The hotel is right near Old Orchard Mall. Lots of fine retailers for people with different budgets. For food, Jameson's is attached to the hotel with a convenient entrance near the lobby. There are many chain restaurants within walking distance also. There's a Portillo's that would take you 5 minutes to walk too. I highly recommend that as well! The rooms are very nice. Our room didn't have a table, only a desk against the wall. Good sized TV and a normal-sized bathroom. Very well cleaned. The service wasn't the best I've ever seen. We were told check-in was at 3 pm, and arrived at 3 pm to find out none of our rooms were ready yet. Not a big deal. We had 3 rooms total next to each other (2 connected via door). About 5 minutes later, we were told 2 of the rooms were ready. About 20 minutes later, thebest3rd room was ready. They also had a pack-n-play for my nephew, which was really awesome! The pool area is nice and spacious. The pool itself seemed kind of small for such a large hotel. It has a glass wall that acts as a barrier to the outside portion of the pool. You can swim underneath that barrier to get outside. The outside portion seemed smaller than the inside portion. It was a nice environment though. I recommend this hotel.

Hotel room was ok, clean and comfortable. Had a roof leak outside of my door (which came inside the room), asked to switch rooms, twice. The ceiling had black mold. No calls were returned nor was a room switch offered. This was outside of my door and their was also water in the corner of my closet after it rained.

Hotel was fantastic! Everything from the room, the service, to the location was perfect. Great option for a cheaper budget when looking to be close to the city or Evanston, worked out great for our weekend trip. Will definitely stay here again!

The rooms are plain but clean. The service and amenities set this place apart with a wine happy hour Monday through Wednesday, a nice restaurant in the hotel and, of course, the complimentary chocolate chip cookie!

Great hotel. Comfortable, nice beds, large rooms, close to Old Orchard Mall and the restaurant in the first level serves really tasty food. If you want to eat some place else you have the Ihop at the other side of the street, or more options at the mall, like buffalo wild wings, the cheese cake factory, Maggianos and Roka akor. Also a CMX Dine in Movie theater.

This hotel has been in existence as long as I can remember, but has been upgraded several times. It is In a very convenient location, right next to North Shore Center for the Performing Arts and a block away from Old Orchard Mall, with a lot of nearby restaurants and shops, which makes it very convenient if you don t have a car. It offers free parking and free buffet breakfast. It is the perfect venue for small concerts, weddings and business conferences. The staff (from front desk to maintenance to housekeeping) are very professional, friendly and courteous. Their well appointed presidential suite, with two adjoining rooms, one with two queen beds and one with a king bed, and a large parlor in between has always been my favorite as it allows me to have private meetings, lunches and dinners, and you don t have to break the bank to book it. Looking forward to my next stay.

The DoubleTree hotel is in a wonderful location, with easy access to surrounding malls and businesses, however there small parking lot leaves a little to be desired, especially in the cold months. The inside lobby and amenities are all beautiful, and up to date, and the furniture in the rooms look new, but the room stilling (wallpaper, shower head,and heating/cooling fan) seems dated. The bathrooms are remodeled, the beds are soft, and there's a restaurant in the adjacent building so you can't want for much more.

Clean, relatively quiet (there was a Bar Mitzvah 2 floors above us, could hear the music till 11:30 pm), but was very convenient to the performing arts center for the Sat night concert. Would definitely stay again.

Seamless checkin and they gave me chocolate chip cookies! A great start to say the least. Room is clean, but they need to enable the bathroom suction vent to pull out the hot steam from showers. Very nice, professional and courteous staff.

The room are so small and it's not worth the price. There was a huge party in the upper level and the noise level was extremely high. Drunk people walking around the hall and screaming. Poor security.

Quite comfortable and reasonably priced. The location right across from the mall is great and convenient if you forgot a shirt or something. Good restaurant attached, but it closes at 11 and there's no late night option to get a drink and sit with people other than the lobby. Maybe more a limitation by Skokie than the hotel per se.

If front desk were a bit more considerate, they would have got two stars but I was being generous. It s raining, had us waiting and still WAITING for a room that was been reserved for close to 3 hours. After driving 14 hours, I just want a bed like seriously. Very inconsiderate and was not even offered water for our longgggg wait. Will never return here again.

Loved their welcome cookies. But other than that, the room felt old and worn. Person at the front desk was somewhat rude (probably due to the late hour) and shouted directions at us as we tried to find the elevators.

The staff was awesome and deserved 5 stars, but they don't have toothbrushes in the rooms. I am sure that if I called down they would have brought one right up, but it's nice to have a few things in the room. The breakfast was nice, but they do have waitresses so you can't get your own coffee or water. I was not expecting this at a buffet, but the staff stayed on top of things even when it was busy.

Avoid second floor. A lot of mechanical noise from cooling system for building, not room . Episodes of loud talking in hallway and elevator late at night, I think courtesy rooms near by( saturday night.
Room was clean, modern, and comfortable.
Parking was inadequate, forced to park at nearby structure

I probably stayed here a number of times but first as Double Tree. Still good and very convenient for personal needs. Apart from O'hare, everything is close. Access to a restaurant via lobby.

I was there for a professional event and the signage to find the room was less than spectacular. I asked an employee on my way oh, if I was headed in the right direction, and she said she had no idea where the room was.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. They allowed us to check in early with no additional fee. The parking was free and room was adequate. Also after being on the road in heavy traffic the free cookies were amazing.

Very nice hotel just north of Chicago. Very pleasant front desk personnel who got us checked in right away. Clean rooms. Close drive to great restaurants and trains into the city. Would definitely stay here again.

I attended an event at the Monaco Room. The room is beautiful and the views are stunning. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The banquet food, on the other hand, needs A LOT of work. The proteins were dry and lacking flavor and the mashed potatoes were most likely rehydrated potato flakes.

Non- English- scatterbrained, staff top to bottom:...

Non- English- scatterbrained, staff top to bottom: dirty, cold buffet and smells!

If you ask to see where they: prominatly post in a public really" licenses- health certificates- ax stamps or State, county & local licenses: they go into - cardiac arrest and lose their water : then threaten you to have police arrest you: invite them to the party!
Put you phone on speed dial to: local police, State, County, board of health, INS & ICE and the MEDIA-- ALL OF THEM!

They were also required all violations until corrected: the didn't! They may have a few more now!

That said: Don't listen to any of the broken English they destroy with hidden costs and free extras that aren't free or just aren't!

Ask them to READ ALONG WITH YOU : the contract of your slavery, life saving and the INVISIBLE verbal extras it FREE this and that they told you about! It won't to long, because it's not here. The surveillance cameras and microphones, unlimited access to your room, prohibitions after prohibitions after restrictions! You'll need a room for two days to read it WITH your lawyers?

Verbal price one person one night in a :pre reserved lock of rooms ( that never was or could be) $139.00 total $267.00 after a year fire and negoiations! Was it there in writing shown - no : but after maybe depending on how the SCOTUS will rule?

Go down the road!
If you got abused already: make the complaints, they work and no one else can!
Keep reading reviews: a drastic change may happen!
Moses parted the RED SEAwith some help? Get help before they all do this!
Think! Have no faith in them! Sign it agree to nothing til you understand it better than them : after you remove all of thevconditions- then go down the road; happy and safe!
Don't eat until you see and confirm all their:" POSTED" documents!
Never pay without recourses to stop payment or get a gauranteed refund n exchange for your testimony!
