Has an airport shuttle, a Pizzeria Uno connected to the hotel, and a free hot breakfast buffet. What's not to like? Room was comfortable, it had two televisions, an extra large refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Price was reasonable, if I'm ever around O'Hare Airport this is the only place ...
