Stayed at the Renaissance Chicago O'Hare in May, 2006 and I can't say enough great things about the place.
Rooms: Very large, well appointed rooms including a great work area. The TV swivels so you can view the TV from either the bed or work/couch area. Beds are very comfortable with lots of pillows and nice linens. Very, very quiet. I am not sure how they pull it off, but we did not hear a sound from either rooms next door or busy expressway nearby. Bathroom is large with granite countertops and glass walk in shower. Everything was extrmely clean and well maintained. It felt new.
Location: About two miles from O'hare. Shuttle runs every 20 minutes from the airport bus terminal. About one block walk to the Cumberland EL station. We took the train downtown each day (takes about 20 minutes) Very inexpensive and fun. I enjoyed zipping along the tracks while traffic in both directions was sitting still on the "expressway"
staff: Extremely nice and helpful. Even offered to take us over to our favorite hot dog stand a few miles away (Jean and Judes).
Work out facility: They have a fully equipped, large work-out room that rivals any health club. Stairmasters, treadmills, free weights and machines. Fairly large Indoor pool and separate dry sauna for men and women. All well maintained and not crowded.
Given that we only paid about $150 (including taxes) I was not expecting such a plush experience. Highly recommended. I only wish we could have spent more time at the hotel.
