Marriott Chicago O’hare
An airport hotel with remarkably quiet rooms, an 11-minute shuttle to O'Hare, and on-site club lounge perks.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Situated an 11-minute shuttle ride from the airport, this hotel offers quiet accommodations and sectioned rooms with comfortable chairs for working. The staff is consistently attentive, and guests have access to a solid breakfast and a 16th-floor club lounge. However, housekeeping oversights such as permanent stains on bed linens and mold in the shower draw frequent criticism. 78
