DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago - Oak Brook

The hotel was very clean and very nicely furnished. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. There were only 3 elevators for the whole hotel, one was out of order, and there were 3 family reunions, 2 onsite weddings, and 1 offsite wedding with the friends and family staying there. When we returned from the rehearsal dinner Friday night there was a LINE to use the elevator to get to our rooms. My husband and I found a way to take the stairs. Which wasn't easy as the only carpeted stairs went from the lobby to the second floor. We had to take the concrete fire stairs to get to the third floor that our room was on. We ran into a similar problem trying to take the elevator down to check out on Sunday around 11 am, an hour before the official check out time. After waiting 10 minutes and having several full elevators stop on our floor, we opted to take an elevator up in order to go back down. There is no vent fan in the bathroom so the mirror fogs while you shower and then you have to wait until it dissipates into your room to style your hair or put on make-up. The doors that enable the rooms to adjoin are NOT sound proof. I could hear neighboring televisions, conversations, and…um…"other" activities… Overall I would not stay at this hotel again. There are several other hotels within a mile of this one that I'd rather give my money to.

very competent people. The restaurant not very exciting for dinner, but very good breakfast buffet.
