    I recently stayed at this Marriot Courtyard and had no issues at all. The perfect hotel stay is when it's uneventful and just plain peaceful, and that's what I had at at this Courtyard. It's right on the border of Glenview & Northbrook, on the corner of Lake & Milwaukee. The rooms aren't the fanciest, but it was very tidy and clean. They do need a dash of love and upgrading though! The water was warm, plus the rooms have cute balconies overlooking a courtyard. Thermostat and coffee machines worked well, everything was perfectly functional and good TV quality in the room. Big parking lot and tons of amenities. The lobby is huge with seating, coffee, and friendly staff. Just a very chill hotel in which you can feel safe.

    Well, they do have Starbucks, but closed at 10:45 am. Dunkin coffee is fine.

    The Front desk people at this hotel are over the top in accommodating you. This is not one of the places we normally stay when visiting my son in Chicago. I found it was just a little too far from his house. There is no free breakfast, but to me, that is not a deal breaker. However, getting a cup of coffee is difficult at best. I don't know the coffee hours, but whenever I walked by, they were closed. They feature Starbucks, but I could not score a cup of coffee. I did, however, walk over to Dunkin Donuts and had my coffee fix. There was some Lopalooza event; this was the only room we could find under $200.00 a night. Most places get to $200 a night, charging you up to $30.00 to park. This is in the suburbs, not the city. One observation: just because you offer Starbucks coffee does no one any good if no one is serving it.

    This is a hotel that was probably great in the 90s, but has lots of signs of age. The rooms, while dated, are clean, with comfy beds and soft pillows. Bathroom is clean and well-lit, and we really enjoyed our stay. It is overpriced in my opinion for the state of the facilities. The hotel was under renovation (?) in certain areas, with lots of thick white dust kicked up if you walked through -- which you had to in order to reach the laundry room and fitness center. The staffs at the front desk were always helpful and pleasant to interact with, but they never seemed to have quarters on hand which meant that you would probably better off going to the laundromat down the street (assuming you have a car). The cleaning staff, on the other hand, seemed to actively resent guests. Every single one I interacted with, whether passing in the hallway or asking a question, gave me nasty looks. I had to ask one cleaning lady for an extra rubbish bag and she seemed flabbergasted as to what I was referring to. It took a solid few minutes to establish what a rubbish bag was, and I had to eventually point to it in her cart. This really isn't an issue if you are staying for a short time, but we were staying for around a week and ran into them a lot in the mornings. On the upside, the location is hard to beat: right across of the shopping plaza and with lots of good eats within walking distance! Close to Joongboo if you need to pick up anything for a longer stay, and not that far from Target/Walmart for other household needs. This area is not a bustling metro area by any means, but you can absolutely do worse in Glenview. A/C and heating worked well. Our room was facing the shopping plaza, so we did hear a lot of honking and even sirens/ambulances into the night; that is something to keep in mind if you are sensitive to noise. That said, I didn't hear our neighbors and it was generally quiet in the hotel which was a pleasant surprise. Major sore spots: - shower made odd, very loud high-pitched whine the entire time it was on, this was incredibly annoying and my #1 complaint - pool was quite cold, we visited well into winter and the pool/pool area could have been heated better as it was painfully cold. no hot tub either. pool area is gorgeous though and would be lovely in the summer - TV was very old and small - rooms looked quite dated but the lobby area seemed recently redone, which is strange - construction area was not well-ventilated and very dusty, be careful if you have asthma - no free coffee and no on-site restaurant, the Bistro in the lobby seemed to always be closed (not a huge issue as you can grab food nearby anyways) I would probably stay somewhere else next time, but the location of this hotel really is excellent for myself as an Asian who enjoyed being across the street from Iron Age, Tous les Jours, Sogongdong, Paik's Noodle, and so on. 10/10 for location, 7/10 for the rooms.

    It's nice hotel, check in was easy. I had little problem to find the elevator, you walk into the corridor among the 1st floor rooms, and the corridor door is in a different direction compare to the room. The room is nice. The tv position is a little odd, but I'm not watching anyway. It's quite and i had a good night sleep which is all i need.

    My bed was comfortable but I couldn't get my patio door open.

    Customer service wasn't serving. No continental breakfast at all and the prices for everything was too high.

    This was a decent hotel in a relatively quiet area, as an escape from the city during lollapalooza weekend. The hotel looks fresh and new on the surface but you can tell that underneath the core is a big old and the edges show through a little in the halls, exterior, elevator. The room was decently sized and the bed was comfortable. Maybe it was the time of year but it it was very quiet and we never saw the main coffee bar open in the afternoon or early evenings, which was fine because we went out. Ample parking and close to several good Asian food restaurants (it's a big cluster of Korean food). They had some snacks but not much up front, there's a liquor store up the street if needed.

    The room.  I liked that they had balcony.

    When I get into the room, I will check the room to make sure it's clean. With Covid-19, yeah, I'm more mindful of hotels that I stay in now. After checking the room, went to the bathroom and boy was I surprised. The toilet seat was up (typically they are down). I glanced over and something caught my eyes.... piece of hair under seat of the toilet. Then, I checked the bath tub and found two pieces of hair in the tub. Due to covid-19, I now carry my own cleaning supplies and I ended up cleaning and sanitizing them myself. Did I bring this up with the front desk? No, I was on the road all day and I needed to rest and thankfully I didn't have to use the toilet seat! I will not be staying at this Courtyard, I'll just make a reservation down the street at Renaissance hotel.

    I checked in here for two weeknights in August while traveling for business. The check-in process was quick and painless. They offer to forego housekeeping services and will give you an additional 500 reward points, so I opted for that. They told me the elevator was not working in the wing where my room was located on the third floor. They did offer to carry my bag. I said no thank you, I will be fine. It was no biggie for me as I did not have much to carry anyway and the steps are better for my health. I am sure it could be a struggle for others. When I got to the room, it felt like it was a handicap accessible room with wider doors and grab bars in the bathroom. I wondered how a wheel chair would get here without the elevator. The room was clean and was adequate for me. It had a fridge, which I like to keep drinks cold. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. They also good WiFi which allowed me to catch up on work. There is a small restaurant / bar which they call "The Bistro" which is open M-F 6am - 9:30am and 5pm - 10pm, and Sat & Sun, 6am - 10:30am and 5pm - 10pm. It is very basic with limited options but offers enough choices to find something. The Bistro also has a small selection of Beer, Wine and Cocktails. I was able to get breakfast both mornings and a beer or two at night after work. Overall, it was an ok experience and worked but it did not stand out and and had a few negatives like the elevator. I would try this place again, but I might also try someplace else in the area.

    This area isn't safe. The catalytic converter was hacked off of my vehicle while our car was parked right in front of our room. We drove here out of state, and I was late to a job interview as a result of the theft. I let the hotel know about this, and there response was "We put signs up saying that the hotel isn't responsible for any theft". Over 2,000 grand of damage was done to my car! Just putting a sign up is insulting to the victims of these crimes.

    Just got into town at 1:30am after we notified them of our late arrival to be told they do not have a room for us because they were short staffed and didn't have anyone to clean a room. They had no problem taking our money but weren't going to notify us at some point?! Essence the front desk attendant and Jason Mashni (manager) supposedly called around trying to find us another hotel and were unsuccessful. They told us to try as well which we did for 2hrs before finding a place 45min away in a terrible part of town. Essence said for our inconvenience her manager said they'd refund us and cover the cost of our new hotels. Now that we are back at home, I emailed Jason Mashini as Essence advised our receipts only to have Brian Fachada respond they would either reimburse the Hampton Inn or refund OR room and tax from the hotel, not both as they promised would be done due to inconvenience. This is so ridiculous and unprofessional. Not only did they take our money and leave us almost sleeping in our vehicle the night before my uncles funeral, they lied to get us out the door and aren't going to follow through with what they promised...again. Save yourself the headache and stress and never go to a Courtyard Marriot, especially this location!!

    Blood found on my unchanged sheets. Housekeeping flipped sheets around on second night rather than changing. Disgusting.

    THIS HOTEL DOES NOT CHANGE THE SHEETS BETWEEN GUESTS or during guest's stays. I know because I slept in someone else's BLOOD for two nights. This hotel is unsanitary, unsafe and it should be closed down. My first night, I was laying in bed catching up on some emails when I looked to my left and noticed some somewhat fresh looking blood spatter on the sheets at the TOP LEFT side of the bed, although I was not bleeding. I travel quite often so I've seen some gross things in hotels so I assumed it was a disgusting mistake. The room had two queen beds so I moved to the other one and left a note for housekeeping. As both beds were used, and one had a note mentioning a biohazard, both beds should have been changed. There was a draft near the window and the apartments next door are very noisy, so the second night I slept in the blood bed again. The second morning when I kicked off the covers, I noticed the same blood spatter pattern but this time on the BOTTOM RIGHT side of the bed. HOUSE KEEPING HAD NOT CHANGED THE SHEETS, THEY HAD JUST FLIPPED THEM AROUND. This is beyond disgusting. This hotel clearly does not wash or change the sheets, so unless you enjoy sleeping in other people's bodily fluids, skin and blood, find another hotel. The lotion had also clearly been refilled and was covered in crusty old lotion when I opened it. This place is a biohazard and should be closed down. Hotel management brushed my concerns aside so I have reported my experience to the Illinois Department of Health and Safety and hopefully they will address. There are plenty of other hotels in the area. I strongly recommend finding a safer, cleaner place to lay your head during your visit.

I definitely do not wanna give a 5 star reading to the Indian woman at the front because she was condescending and rude to me and my family. I had come down and waited to talk to her in line. A black man cut me in line, she saw, and she did not say anything about it. I told her that I wanted to get toothpaste, and she told me I had to wait even though I was in line to speak first. This man spoke rudely to my underage son, who is just a child. He picked up the phone and she told him to stop and put the customer who was in front, also told him to stop in a rude way to stop picking up the phone and calling the front desk. I was in complete shock, so I did not realize what was going on and why he was talking to my son in that manner. We buy even more so than the rude customer. The man in front of me I was appalled that the woman at the front desk was not being professional and did not say anything to that man, because I, as a mother, of course, was in shock. She needs to stick up for her patrons. That was at the hotel line. Now, I've booked four different rooms for our family members and we were there for multiple days and I had asked for only six little packets of toothpaste and she practically screamed in shock at how many that was. Even though we were there for multiple days and had multiple rooms. I only needed to get through that morning before I could go to the store to buy more toothpaste. The hotel rooms themselves are pretty good, because they have separate rooms and a full kitchen. But I will never stay here again because of that rude woman. She doesn't care about her customers OBVIOUSLY and screamed about needing "so much" toothpaste when we were 5 families staying here over the course of multiple days. Absolutely ridiculous.

Along with it being lower in cost for Hilton Honors members as I am currently a silver status member, I loved that it is located nearby a plethora of businesses and restaurants within Skokie itself. It was those things that won me over and led me into booking with Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-North Shore/Skokie. My experience with the enthusiastic receptionist working behind the desk was nothing less than professional. Since my room was already booked through Hilton Honors, the only thing check-in consisted of was a verification of my information, a briefing on what is offered, and giving me my room key. And for your information check-in starts at 3:00pm and ends at 12:00am! And check-out ends at 12:00pm! After locating and entering my room, I said to myself "This is gorgeous!" once I took notice of the design and interior color which appeared so elegant! Looking outside of the window, I had an overview of Old Orchard Rd, and Edens Expressway (I-94), which is accessible to Hampton Inn & Suites. Inside the shower, there were liquid products by Gilchrist & Soames Zero% attached to the wall. Throughout my travels, I have noticed that hotels have completely dealt away with the mini shampoo, bath soap, and conditioner products that made great travel hygiene additions. Along with those notable things inside of the room, it met my cleanliness standards. I had no issues whatsoever getting comfortable in the king-sized bed during my stay as my head was engulfed in between the comfortable pillows. While utilizing the shower, I really enjoyed the water pressure; its soothing pressure made me feel very cleansed during each usage. It was wonderful toggling with its spray patterns, with the addictive feel of the pressure hitting the inside of my ear. Other things the room came with that I noticed were a comforter, an iron, ironing board, blow dryer, a coffee maker (Hamilton Beach), a mini refrigerator, microwave, a power adapter with USB and AC plugin, and several lamps which add a nice touch to the room. And the Wi-Fi internet was easy to connect to and not once did I have any connectivity issues with it during my stay. Hampton Inn & Suites, as expected, had an exceptionally beautiful inner interior! As a fitness enthusiast, it was great having a fitness center onsite because it allowed me to keep up with my fitness routines during my stay. And I must say that I was pleased to see the number of dumbbell weights, medicine balls, kettlebells, trx straps, a decent selection of workout machines, and a peloton fitness bike which totally charmed me out of my panties once I spotted it. Having the complimentary breakfast was a relief because I did not have to worry about finding a restaurant for breakfast in the morning. And I was highly satisfied with the quality of what was presented. It is served Monday-Friday from 6:30am - 10:00am, and Saturday-Sunday from 6:00am - 10:00am. If you are visiting Skokie, the Hampton Inn & Suites sits not only within an acceptable walking distance of a plethora of restaurants and businesses, but the Holocaust Museum, and Westfield Old Orchard, formerly Old Orchard Shopping Center. I would surely book with Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-North Shore/Skokie again due to my experience with it because the hotel met my comfort needs, and I loved that its location is within an accessible distance of things of interest in Skokie. ~ Live every moment ~ Thomas G

As many pointed out the hotel is very dated and most of it is run down and beat up. The pool is rather small and even bit hard to even find, which is weird because why have a small pool thats not that easy to find in the first place? The surrounding area is like a forest and a nature preserve looking pond. People in our group saw all kinds of random forest animals when they went back there. Everyone at the front desk were nice and professional and genuinely sincere in helping me and my groups issues get resolved, except for the front desk manager. I forgot her name she is a Latina women with glasses. She was not as friendly and kind as the rest of her front desk team. She was by far the worst one working at the front desk by far. You had to wonder how the hell is she even the front desk manager??? She basically had me repeat all of the long list of issues that we had that the other front desk team members already were in the process of resolving for me causing me further nuisance. She basically did not believe what my story was for some reason and wanted me to prove to her that I was not lying. Like WTF? I was in town for business meetings why would I make up a BS story to try to bother the front desk in the first place? As a Gold HH you get like $18 a day credit so you can use that for food/beverage or the small convenience store behind the front desk. Most of the people in my group used the $18 on waters, oj bottles, chips, gum etc. So the $18 a day credit was pretty cool until like day 3 they ran out of stuff and did not restock anything until our trip was over. I saw others complain about cars getting broken into and car parts getting stolen in the parking lot, I fortunately did not have this problem or felt any concern/danger for that and the parking lot areas, but a few of the days some teenagers came over to hang out at the hotel and tried to swim and hang out in the lobby and other areas of the hotel. I'm not sure if they were actual hotel guests or just some teenagers trying to use the hotel as a hang out spot or what was going on? It would have been nice if security kicked those teenagers out for being loud and a nuisance but it seemed like there was no security really working at all from what I saw? Just a janitor/grounds keeper looking people who were gone once their shifts ended. The coolest part of my stay was probably my room as it had a larger deep soaking jacuzzi tub in it and the jets actually worked rather well like a real jacuzzi. I think had my room not have that I'd probably give this place only 1 or 2 stars then. I would not stay here again unless it was like a really good reason to like our meetings were actually happening in their banquet rooms or something.

    Stayed here for the first time for 2 nights while on a business trip. Arrived at night and it's…read moreoff a 2 lane road in a wooded area. I had to double check that I was at the right address because when I arrived it was dark and the hotel was somewhat secluded. I have family that lives in Chicago that we had dinner in the hotel dining room and it was a little eerie because we were the only ones there. I had French Onion soup that was really good but we could not help but to continually note that there was a lack of people around. This is definitely an older Hilton property and does not look like it has seen any renovations in the last 15-20 years. Not that it looked bad but it definitely did not give the "modern hotel" vibe. The phone in the room was very old and the same model phone that was on my desk when I started my first job pre-2000. The room was spacious, clean and had a very comfortable bed. The staff was very friendly. Overall if you are looking for the modern Hilton experience, this ain't it. If you are looking for a decent place to stay this will do.

    My nephew recently held his wedding reception and a pre-wedding traditional Chinese tea ceremony…read morehere. The Doubletree is also in a prime and convenient location for the local extended family who are all in the North Shore area. I was pretty impressed with what I saw of the venue and the quality of the services and this review only addresses the hotel as a wedding events venue. The tea ceremony was held in one of their ground floor meeting rooms and the wedding reception was held in the scenic Monaco ballroom on the top floor, which is the 12th floor. The ballroom was elegant and quite nice and airy with floor to ceiling windows and panoramic views of the surrounding area. We all enjoyed the sunset and the mellow transition from day to night during the course of the festive evening. For 100 guests, the reception area outside of the ballroom was perfect with an airy feel, good spacing for mingling and passing of hors d'oeuvres, and a good, efficient, and competent open bar service. The hotel provided a brunch during the tea ceremony and it was a gluten free brunch buffet menu due to some guests' dietary requirements. The room setting for the brunch was also classy and elegant. The hotel kitchen also prepared the wedding reception dinner which included a filet mignon and grilled salmon combination as the main entrees for everyone. There were also a few kids' meals. The hors d'oeuvres were all excellent and generously sized and a food highlight. I personally didn't enjoy the gluten free brunch items as much, but they were still ok as mid-morning light touch items. The dinner entrees were a-ok, but not tip-top great I would say. Also, for whatever reason, a dinner prep miscount occurred, and one person at our table awkwardly didn't receive his dinner entrees until about 20 minutes after everyone else. Overall, I'll go with a 4 star rating for the experience. The physical venue is a 5 star rating given the scenic ballroom, their convenient and ample parking capacity, and excellent open bar and hors d'oeuvres service. The brunch and dinner we had was good and adequate but brought the overall wedding venue rating to a 4 in my opinion. Overall, still a quite nice job by the Doubletree and thank you for your contributions to a wonderful day here.

    We stay in the Chicagoland area frequently and enjoy exploring different neighborhoods and suburbs,…read moreso I was hoping this hotel's proximity to a nicer mall would be reflected in the overall experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The hotel feels dated, and the lobby had a musty smell upon arrival. Our room was fairly clean, but it was quite small, especially the bathroom. The biggest disappointment was the pool area. It appeared dirty and neglected. There was visible dirt at the bottom of the pool, and the outdoor area had cigarette butts and champagne bottle caps scattered around. The indoor section contained deflated pool floats. The condition of the pool area also raised concerns about overall maintenance. Seeing dirt in the pool and trash left around the deck made me question how closely other aspects of pool upkeep, such as water testing and chemical monitoring, are being managed. I also noticed a safety concern: the pool deck had been resurfaced, but in the process, the depth markings in the outdoor portion of the pool were covered up. The outdoor part of the pool is deeper than most hotel pools, which makes it even more concerning that the depth markers appeared to have been covered during resurfacing. Additionally, the door to the pool area was not locked. One smaller but frustrating issue was the room amenities. Our reservation was for four guests, yet the room was stocked with only three sets of towels. At check-in, we were also given only three cookies. If cookies are intended to be a welcome perk, it would be nice if every registered guest received one. Overall, while the room itself was reasonably clean, the dated facilities, neglected pool area, and lack of attention to details made this stay disappointing. We would not stay here again.
