We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s a cozy , very clean hotel with a pool. They allow dogs which is a plus for us! Close to the Oakbrook mall where they have lots of shops and restaurants. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back to stay again!

Tried to use TV and went to the desk twice for help. They said their systems were not in sync and many of the remotes did not work with the LG tvs which were outdated. They said they could not do anything about it. They also said they were out of coffee and waiting for a delivery.

For the incredibly low price, our stay was all that we expected. The only negative parts were the completely empty lobby/closed common areas/ lack of people there and some very worn down furniture in the room. I was nervous about the cleanliness but was pleased with the sanitized toilet and wrapped remote, etc. the bed was probably my least favorite part because it felt a little dirty but not too bad and worth the low price!

We stayed here 2 nights in Oct 2021. We were on the 2nd floor but since there are no elevators to the 2nd floor so we had to drag our suitcases up a flight of stairs. The bed was mostly comfortable and most things worked in the room. However, the carpets need cleaning and the room is severely outdated. I did contact the front desk for extra towels and they came in 15 minutes with a smile. The hotel is in sort of an industrial area with nothing really walk-able nearby. Very budget oriented hotel that needs an update.

Two star hotel. Not 3 star. Large hotel next to conference center. In industrial area. No restaurants nearby. Pool closed. Strike 1 - to open the Room door you had to use plenty of force. Door was sticking. Room was fine. Nice towel display on sink. Had regular amenities. Remote sanitized. Sink was in with shower which is not what I prefer. I prefer sink outside and shower/ toilet behind closed door. Strike 2. Door to outside labeled Door #2 was open. Not only was a rock wedged to keep the door open for re entry, the lock was in the locked position- sticking out and would not close. When I called up to the front desk to tell them, it was obvious that they were aware of the problem and had no way to fix it. Verbally I was assured they would take care of it. They did not. In the morning the door was in the same position. Door #2 is at the back of the building not facing the front of building. From a distance it was not obvious that it was open. I appreciate when hotels doors are locked to keep random people from walking in- or worse. Strike 3. No free hot breakfast. This is very disappointing. A few items were available for purchase. Checkout was quick.…

Myself, my sister and mom stayed in clarion inn from 31st March to 15th May,2020.The hotel is so beautiful beyond imagination. I lived like home as all staff is so prompt & energetic in service which kept our energy positive during covid time. Hotel owner Mr Pretesh Gandhi is so humble, kind, cooperative, helpful & down to earth person. Facility of shuttle is also available to go Walmart & costco.It is 13 miles from O'Hare International Airport, 19 miles from downtown Chicago and 25 miles from baseball games at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. The low-key rooms feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers. Upgraded rooms add microwaves and minifridges. Suites have separate living areas, sofabeds and/or kitchenettes. Parking is included.smoking free area. Amenities consist of bistro/cafe, plus an indoor heated pool and an exercise room. Meeting space is available. Breakfast is available, and pets are welcome They maintained proper sanitization during covid19 crisis.Hotel staff cleans every corner of the hotel each and everyday and follow all precautions necessary during covid time. We are now back in India and our covid19 tests are negative .We came healthy and happy from the hotel. There are meditation and yoga facilities which makes the place heavenly. In all it was a comfortable and refreshing stay .I would definitely come again & again to stay at this beautiful,hygienic and ambient hotel. 5 stars are also less, they deserve 10 stars or even more . I would really recommend you to come and experience this aesthetic and tranquil place .…

The Clarion Inn Elmhurst-Oakbrook offers good value accommodation in the Chicago metro area and a really nice idea pool. It’s not ideally situated, being a couple of blocks back from Il-83, and while this means that it’s quiet, with no traffic noise, you do need a car to go anywhere. With this in mind there’s a huge parking area in front of the hotel, which looks more like a supermarket than a hotel! Access is easiest from Il-83, turning off at the signals a little North of the hotel, although with luck you may also find how to reach it from Butterfield Road – useful if you are coming from central Chicago. I was commuting into central Chicago, and drove each day to the Forest Park terminus on the CTA Blue line – it was a long journey (over an hour in total) but quicker to stay off the freeway to get to Forest Park where there was plenty of parking. Reception were friendly though could be a little slow. There are two internet terminals (and a printer) in the reception area. Rooms were spacious, including an easy chair and a desk, clean and unremarkable. The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows and the room was a pleasant temperature during a cold winter week. The fridge and microwave both worked fine. There’s an onsite “bistro” – in reality a place selling breakfasts and pizzas, that is OK if you really don’t won’t to leave the premises. There are no other restaurants within a reasonable walking distance – and if you are looking for provisions Pete’s Market on Roosevelt in Oakbrook Terrace is a couple of miles away but probably the best bet. The best feature is the indoor pool, which is relatively large for a hotel of this grade and, in mid-winter, hardly used (except perhaps once a week by a swimming school).…
