My first stop was the Hilton Hotel, 2855 N. Milwaukee Ave, Northbrook, IL 60062. Northbrook is one of Chicago's northern suburbs located about 20 miles from downtown Chicago. I am a Hilton honors member as well as a priority club member (Holiday Inn), so I stay in their chains quite a bit. I was traveling with a friend and we're both smokers, so we got a smoking room with 2 queen beds. The AARP rate was $178 after taxes. They do charge $10 for internet connection per night however they were gracious enough to give it to us complimentary. The room was clean, a nice size with a frig & micro wave however the bathroom was so tiny, you had to step outside of it to change your mind.. They were on point with their service, we requested another ash tray & it was delivered to us in 5 minutes. I also called the front desk to tell them that one of the light bulbs on the night stand was blown out. Within an hour, maintenance came to change it. Where they did slip up was on my wake up call. I requested a 6:30 AM wake up call which never came. I have stayed there before, & will stay there again. On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate it a 7.
It had been a long day so we opted for room service. We both ordered the same thing, Angus beef burger (medium well), with a Riverfront salad w/sherry vinaigrette dressing. It was pretty good and cost $55 for the both of them & we gave the guy a $5 tip. I'd rate it a 5 1/2.
You wont go wrong if you stay here.
