Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chicago-Midway Airport by IHG

"Trip dates January 10-11th, 2026 Reservation for West My dad and I recently traveled to the Chi for a business trip and we stayed at this hotel with the band. To begin, the location is great! Near tons of restaurants, so close to the airport with a shuttle, and justtt outside of downtown. The hotel was very clean, simple yet tasty continental breakfast available, suuuuper comfy beds/pillows and overall a wonderful stay. THE HIGHLIGHT : Ms Barbara at the front desk! Let me just say that she is truly thee best. Greeting us as we came in from a very late show she had a warm smile, welcoming energy and even a funny joke before we went to bed. Lol Upon waking up to catch a 5 am flight she personally called the shuttle for prompt pickup and we chatted while it was on the way. She even came from behind the desk to give me a hug for safe travels before I left. She is so kind, helpful and the true definition of hospitality. Thank you so much Ms Barbara for your assistance, kindness and professionalism during our stay. I will always remember meeting her and hope to stay again when she is on front desk shift. If you are considering this hotel, book it! And if Ms Barbara is at the desk when you are there you are indeed in marvelous hands. Until next time Chicago !"

"Excellent Stay and Outstanding Service! I had a wonderful experience at the Holiday Inn Express! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making my stay very relaxing. A special shoutout to Barb, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about guests’ comfort. Her warm personality and attention to detail made my stay even better. Thank you, Barb, and the entire Holiday Inn Express team for the excellent hospitality — I’ll definitely be coming back!"

"SUCH a mixed bag here… But… TLDR… I’ll probably/maybe stay here again in the future, just strictly bc the bed and ease of getting around from the location are so great. There’s *definitely* room for improvement at this property tho. Fave: the bed 😍. Suuuuperduper comfy mattress, *perfect* high-quality pillows, and really nice, not-scratchy linens. A perfect-firmness cloud of cozy. The Heckin Worst: It’s a tie… 1 Worst - corner room is SO. DANG. LOUD. Like, holy shit I can’t sleep LOUD. Mainly wild, wild traffic noise (is this what trying to sleep literally on the street corner sounds like?? Yikes.) but this hotel is so close to Midway airport it’s basically a terminal, so there’s THAT. Eww. Also #1 Worst: Parking. There IS a huge huge lot, but like 88 (sarcasm font) hotels share it and it gets full SO quickly, AND the hotel actually charges (the heck?!) $30ish/night for this nonsense. Ridiculous. ☹️ At least one night we had to park in a spot the absolute furthest away from this HIE that parking could possibly be (we’d be Front Row A1 for one of the other 88 hotels in this complex) and I feel like the trek from the car to the closest hotel door literally had to be close to a half-mile. NONSENSE. I absolutely can’t believe the hotel charges for this BS parking sitch. Other: Very clean & modern room. Location makes it easy to get onto highways and into Chicago proper or burbs. Friggin *amazing* for watching planes land. Gorgeous view of Chicago skyline in the distance. Suite setup we got was ginormous, with a set of French doors separating the living area from the bedroom - nice. And one smallish tv in each section. Good temperature control. Absolutely zero hot cocoa and ReddiWhip - either in the breakfast area, or for sale in the hotel’s little market - available for when there’s a massive ThunderSnow event, and it’s WAY to far to walk to get to the car and drive to go get some 😫🤭 Temperamental shower/water pressure in a really really small bathroom."

"There's a lot of food in the area which is nice. I would kill for a 7 eleven or something that had alcohol. The staff here is nice the hotel itself is kind of whatever. The tvs suck and the bath/tub was kind of whatever but if you can get a cheap room it's fine. The staff was very nice and I like free breakfast"
