Rose and her husband were incredibly kind and responsive to our questions and requests throughout the planning process. The place itself is already beautiful, so we barely needed any decorations! Parking was convenient for us and our guests. When we arrived, Rose greeted us right away and made sure everything was ready. Clean up was simple thanks to the clear directions provided. Our guests constantly complimented the space, and the karaoke made the night even more fun! We keep looking back at our photos and videos and can't stop smiling, seeing how beautiful everything turned out and how much fun we had with our guests. We highly recommend booking Maharlika 360 for your next event!!

I was told about The Studio at D&B and when I walked in I envisioned having my party there. They allow you to decorate as you want and bring in your own food and DJ.

If you are up for the DIY or hiring someone to decorate you can make this place look amazing.

Beautiful outdoor patio…read more The service was good, our waitress didn't come around as much. The scampi pizza was very very good. Wish they would put more shrimp in the slices. One a slice isn't cutting it for me. The flavor of the cheese mixed with that scampi, and nice shrimp bite comes so well together. It's delicious. The crust was nice and crunchy. It was not doughy. The Caesar salad was nice and fresh, had a really good taste. Highly recommend the pizza and salad

The food was pretty good, and there was a nice variety of things to taste when I was here with my book club. Their drinks are great, and they have some nice happy hour specials to consider as well. If I recall correctly, parking is street only. I got lucky, but it is Norwood Park, so parking is still generally ok.

We were running a little late. I wanted to call and let them know. No one ever answered the phone…read more Rang until the line went dead. When we came to check in. The phone was ringing in the background the entire time. Several people in line. 2 people helping customers. One woman and one man. Woman helped everyone while man was on computer the entire time. Specifically asked for a room with 2 beds. Upon entering room noticed there was one bath towel. If there are 2 beds,. Why would you supply only one towel? Also one tiny bottle of shampoo. Had to go to front desk to get more towels. I assumed the next day when they made up the room they would catch that and correct it. I didn't know that the room was only made up once every five days? What hotel does this? I would not have minded had they told me when we checked in. My used towels were thrown on the bathroom floor. Again assuming like any normal hotel this would be taken care of by housekeeping. We were out all day Saturday visiting my son. When we returned there was no where to park. Luckily after driving around for quite awhile someone left and I was able to park way far away in the back. There was a wedding going on. Very noisy children running around and screaming until very early in the morning. No coffee for customers. (You could by a cup for $3.00.) I had two Keurigs that I used Saturday morning. I thought they would be replaced by housekeeping. (They would have if there were any.) I had recently returned from a trip of several days in the same areas. MIchigan, Illinois and Indiana. We stayed at several hotels. This was by far the worst one. I will not stay at a Holiday Inn again. The excuse that Covid is ruining everything cannot stand in this case. The other Hotels I stayed at were more than adequate. Why can't Holiday Inn do at least as well?

I am such a fan of the Cook County Forest Preserves . And one reason I love them is that there's…read morealways something new to find and explore! Every time I visit I fall in love again. Today I visited the Volunteer Resource Center (VRC) near Edgebrook Woods. They held a program for Black History Month; I really want to support this type of cultural programming within the FPCC system, and it's an added bonus that it sounded interesting. The VRC is right near the Edgebrook Golf Course--the same entrance is for both. But unless you've been to an event here or go to the golf course, you're unlikely to known this was here. It's a really great event space which the FPCC rents out for various events. There's a different rate for county residents versus non-residents, and the cost differs for Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday dates. However, the rates seem really reasonable to me. There's a main room which is especially lovely; there's a large fireplace, high ceilings, and a lot of space--this room can hold 100 people. The classroom is much smaller and can accommodate up to 40. Both those spaces can be rented independently of one another, and I think you can rent portions of the golf course as well? All the information is on the webpage. The main room has a kitchen space as well so you can work with a caterer for your event. I wish I had an event for which I could use this space; I'll bet it's especially beautiful in the spring and summer. There are picnic tables just outside the indoor facility, and parking is plentiful as well.
