    Which was is the gym? Where's the ice?

    Terribly worn out and outdated property. Still trying to figure out why I gave a second star, but I'll never stay here again.

    Hallway stains

    What can you improve everything. I don't like giving poor scores, but this place definitely needs renovation. The lobby looks fantastic but past that it's in serious need of an overhaul. Even the hallways have stains. Inside the room, especially the bathroom. The ceiling paint is peeling off the walls. Not sure they even tried to upgrade anything recently maybe the bathroom mirror.. there is no refrigerator or microwave. The toilet kept running, and I was unable to turn the heater down, so it was extremely hot. I tried calling the front desk to change rooms, but no answer. It rang and rang and rang and rang. Ended up having to go down to the front desk. Talked to the lady and immediately she said full disclosure. Every single room is the same. Because I wanted to change rooms. I know they're not just looking out my window. I see rooms with balconies so I don't appreciate being told incorrect information when they just don't feel like helping me out. Thats the feeling I got and it's unfortunate. I will not stay here again.

    Mini staycation in Oakbrook in celebration of my husband's birthday. He's been working so hard. With all of the busyness in Chicago his off days were canceled. He hates when I make a fuss over him but I love the joy it brings. Doubletree has always provided comfortable accommodations, great customer service and let's not forget about those warm chocolate chip cookies. As we checked in, Sean at the front desk was telling jokes. He said you have got to have fun at work. We agreed. Love his personality. Our room was nice and clean, comfy bed and good pillows. We planned on getting up early for the breakfast buffet which is included with our stay. We both slept past breakfast. I picked a nearby place and made reservations. Thank you Doubletree for a good night's sleep.

    Moved to another part of Chicago to be closer to this area for work. Beautiful hotel and it is a great event space. Room was nice. The bed was amazing. Based on availability ended up in an accessible room with a bathtub based but it works. Being here on business I was annoyed that the ironing board was missing and they are half sized. There was one outside my door on checkin and just disappeared as it was beat up and never replaced. Thank goodness for wrinkle release. Special shout out to Camella at the front desk and Anna in the restaurant and bar. These two employees are amazing and do their jobs well with exceptional guest service and attitudes. Some things to mention that were not on brand was the Terrible toilet paper (stiff, thin, not confortsble and the cheapest) and the amazon essentials washcloths. I mean it ok but not what you except. The most important issue was the indoor pool and jacuzzi/spa was drained and closed which was not advertised and still offered as an amenity. I thought, I brought my trunks for this? The hotel is beautiful on the inside, great spaces and meeting rooms, guest rooms are warm and inviting, and you can't go wrong with their cookies. I loved that they were not stingy with cooks or water for Hilton Honors Members. As a Diamond member, I really appreciated that the accommodated an early checkin and the extra bottles of water when asked. Get that pool fixed and I'll stay here again. Not too far from downtown and really great hotel.

    Time for some upgrades to the room. Everything else in the area is so nice specifically the restaurants. But when you come to a room looking like this with holes in the wall. Come on. And we are also taking on water through the ceiling.

    Bathroom

    The positives were the bed was amazing & I rested very well under the thick full comforter. The pillows were right amount of fluffy yet firm. The showers had steaming hot water & great water pressure. There was ice cold water & cups available in each conference room & it was regularly replenished. The overnight checkout receptionist was kind & hospitable. Now the bathroom had mold on it above the sink. Housekeeping would not give us additional towels told us to dial zero yet no one answered whenever we called. We stayed for four days for a conference. There were two wet spots in our room on carpet and there were other stains wet spots throughout the hotel. The main conference room had a foul odor & the air conditioning was not working properly. The receptionists during day/afternoon were talking amongst themselves & looked annoyed when approached with questions. The parking garage elevator was very dirty not well lite. The door was also half open broken. We requested a cooler & microwave in our room. The microwaves are only in ice room per floor. The room where microwave and ice where was dirty luckily we brought micro-ban multipurpose cleaner and Lysol.

    I've stay at this specific hotel 3-4 times and I will not be returning. The location is great, and feels safe but the hotel itself is pretty run down. The hotel needs some help (upgrades, cleaning and maintenance). The furniture and TVs in the rooms are dated. The shower heads are so low, it makes it really challenging to shower. The shower water pressure makes it impossible to shower quickly. As I was showering, I found myself standing in a huge bathtub of lukewarm water because the tub would not drain (eww!). The warm cookie and complimentary water bottles are not enough of an incentive to come back. Really unfortunate because the location is great, but not worth the price you pay. I will definitely be looking into other hotel options when I visit the area again. PROS: * free parking * parking garage * great location * breakfast buffet for $16.99 per person (nice to offer something, but not anything to go crazy about - eggs, potatoes, French toast, bacon, sausage and pastries) * bar/restaurant on site * variety of surrounding restaurants * mall is across the street * welcome warm cookie * complimentary water bottles * great front desk customer service CONS: * AC didn't rework during November stay. I set the thermostat to 64° in hopes to cool the room down, but the room felt like it was at least 75°-78° at all times * black hair all over the bathroom floor (these rooms are not cleaned thoroughly) * flat old pillows * no refrigerator in room * furniture in rooms is worn down and needs attention * no room cleaning unless you stay more than 4 consecutive days

I can see where they are trying to go, but it's not there. The place is in disrepair if you pay attention at all (cracks, holes, chipped paint), a crappy elevator, there's even random crap thrown in a corner still in view of guest. If you want to be taken seriously, then handle all the stuff no one sees that isn't sexy, rather than just putting lipstick on a pig. There's no consistent theme. It's like 5 different people walked through a 2nd hand store in a rush, with no other options, so each picked what they found in their scavenger hunt and then threw it all together. It's a big space. The staff was great and welcoming. Seriously, they were solid. The place is a 2 star, but staff is worth another star. It just felt like coming to visit my aunt who doesn't get a lot of visitors so she threw everything in a closet knowing guest are coming over. We all have to ignore the smell and everything else. The stuff on the walls makes sense to her as they are her memories, but there's no theme other than her history, so none of it makes sense to anyone else. It's just awkward. The reason this place isn't booming is 100% on the owner. They are trying to look bougie, while ignoring real issues, and clearly in way over their head attempting to do way too much with too little. They need to take a loan or get an investor and make this place amazing. It could be, but it's not. Then again, not sure if the place they dream of could survive in that area as the prices would need to double and the area may not be willing to pay. Potential investors may have said the same. I see the vision, but also see the reality, which just frustrated me as there was conflict around every corner. Also, the bar closes early at like 8 or 9pm. Additionally the upgraded rooms with "garden view" are anything but. The actual room is good. The detached building however looks like it was a nursing home that's never been changed or upgraded; at least on the outside and entrance. When you walk in the front door of said nursing home, it SMELLS like a nursing home. It was strong and not in a good way. When you are in your room and look outside at the "garden view", it's a crappy 1/2 wall that appears to have been designed and built as a favor by a drunk uncle who was in a rush. It's very small and insignificant. It's an eye sore, but the "garden" is actually just the back yard looking directly into a crappy middle class neighborhood of back yards. All in all, my "get away" upgraded experience felt more like a motel 6 with a $1,000,000 dream on a $500 budget.

You are next to the highway which can be seen as a con to some, but also a pro as if you need quick travel during your stay towards Naperville or to the city it's a great mid-point. The Starbucks staff is friendly when you order never had a bad experience. Front desk can sometimes get busy, but everyone is kind when you interact with them. During my first visit I got upgraded to a suite and it was a great experience as it was my birthday, and birthday weekend. It was spacious between the living area, and the bedroom overlooking the mall. I would for sure get a space like that again if I was with a group traveling. The second time I stayed at this Marriott, my shower in the room did not work. The staff was prompt to get maintenance there while I went to the mall next door, and it was ready to go when I arrived back to turn in for the evening. Parking is pretty simple as its on the side of the building as well as the backend. There is a Starbucks on-site at the end of the long corridor so it is nice to grab and go before departure.

They do charge parking. It is Chicago-land. Staff are incredible. Super friendly and attentive. 10/10 legit. Property is right on the main interstate headed into the city so that traffic is a bit hearable although I have been in hotels that are way louder so this is not a complaint. The main thing here is it is overdue for upkeep and restoration. The property is beat up, the rooms are outdated, the furnace is too loud, and it's just time. To be clear the rooms are clean and the bedding, towels, etc are fresh.

The cornerish room (edge middle room between two corner rooms) they gave me looked to be recently remodeled. It looks like everything in the building is recently renovated so things for the most part seem newish. No cobwebs or dust in sight (aside from the top of the fridge being a bit dusty, but alas I don't think 6'+ housekeepers are common.) Rooms are equipped with dishwashers, full size electric ovens (some don't have an oven so you have to request it,) a toaster, microwave & a fridge. They feature stand-in showers & low height toilets. Pretty much everything in the rooms is low height which is perfect, especially for those with disabilities. The Residence Inn offers a free all you can eat breakfast buffet from 6:30 am to 9:00 am Monday thru Friday & from 7:00 am to 10:00 am on weekends. There is a pool, jacuzzi, laundry room & gym. It also has a small "marketplace" next to the front desk that consists of a few items you can grab like soda, TV dinners & snacks along with personal care items. Since the hotel is small, all of the amenities are scaled to match. This means things like the marketplace & breakfast buffet have nowhere near the selection of other busier Residence Inns like the one in downtown Phoenix which also includes things like salisbury steak, chinese food & whatever they felt like cooking for breakfast alongside the standard waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, meats, cereal, etc. The breakfast here is a measly eggs (cage free,) bacon, muffins (jalapeno cheddar biscuits in muffin form so not sweet dessert muffins,) & oatmeal. Even though the breakfast ends at a certain time they do have mini fridges that have fat free milk & yogurt along with coffee/water dispensers that are always available (they shutdown the juice dispenser once breakfast closes.) There are several cons though. My room preferences were completely ignored when they assigned the room. Since the edge room they assigned me was on a lower level & near the exit...hearing the frequent slamming of the exit door as people took the stairs was not ideal. Speaking of doors...my door was defective & wouldn't close all of the way naturally so I had to push it until it clicked every single time otherwise anyone could literally just push the door open. The view was also terrible as it overlooked the parking lot & had trees, street lights, etc. blocking the window. The ice maker on the fridge was way too loud. It produces ice at a super slow pace & the buzzer seems to go off every 30 minutes or so. When the ice is done it makes a loud bang almost like a bomb went off as it dispenses the ice into the bucket. The second con is the lack of in-house food options. Third is that there's no shuttle that'll take you to nearby places which is a missed opportunity to earn a lot of extra business from traveling professionals & tourists. For some reason there were no baking pans even though my room had an oven although they did have utensils, plates, pots, etc. The rooms are also not as soundproof as they should be... with me being able to hear people walking outside in a hallway as well as them coming in going from their rooms. I also occasionally heard my neighbors upstairs & adjacent to me moving around or snoring all of which is concerning as it leaves me wondering how much they heard from my room? For a place geared towards business...privacy should be a priority. There was also whisper levels of strange electrical noises that seems to have come from the minisplit HVAC system. I was told house keeping cleans every other day, but they didn't touch my room for the first four days even though I saw them in the hallway. It took me sitting my overflowing trash cans outside of my door for them to go inside & clean the room. Even then they didn't actually clean anything, moreso just replaced the towels as well as made the bed after taking out the trash (of which the recycle bin was returned with large bits of food in it which wasn't mine so even that was not cleaned.) Also be aware of the $5/day parking fee added to your room bill which is charged even if you aren't even driving & therefore aren't using the parking lot. There was no hand soap as well as no lotion in the room so I had to use the liquid body wash in the shower along with my own lotion. Overall, this is a much better option than the normal Marriott hotel in Downer's Grove. The bed is actually comfortable enough to sleep on, the minisplit HVAC system doesn't kick in like a mule (other than the electrical noise it's rather quiet when on,) and every other amenity is leagues ahead of a regular Marriott.

So we skipped! We just decided to chill in our room. We asked for extra pillows for the sofa bed. They were out! Not a single extra pillow!!!
