Top Elgin Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago O'Hare Airport - Rosemont

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing for solo travels at less price and safe. I had no issues during my stay, my room was cleaned everyday."

Holiday Inn Chicago North-Evanston by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We felt the Holiday Inn was quite the bang for the buck. Close enough to the train stations to be convenient, but not so far out of the city to take a long time. Access to Chicago proper was very easy, and there were a lot of good and reasonably priced restaurants in the Evanston area. Rooms are comfortable & reasonably clean"

Marriott Chicago O'Hare

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super friendly. Overall a very nice place to stay."

SpringHill Suites Chicago O'Hare by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Great room large size. Comfortable bed and pillows. Great breakfast in the morning."
