This hotel was a great cheaper alternative to staying in downtown. The airport shuttle runs every 20min and will take you back and forth whenever needed so you can catch a plane or the train to the city. The orange line goes right from the airport to the Loop and from there you can get anywhere. The hotel was clean and we didn't notice any excessive noise from the planes. There is breakfast each morning with a decent variety of things healthy and not, and a pool and fitness center. The desk staff was very helpful with answers to questions, menues and general things. They always greeted you and smiled when you came through the lobby. I would stay here again. Regarding the bedbugs, I stayed the same weekend and my husband and I didn't have any trouble with bugs, itching or marks. It must have been an isolated incident. We stayed 4 nights over memorial day weekend.

Yes, with all the traveling that I do, I have never experienced bed bugs until the stay at Fairfield at Midway airport in Chicago.
I got 13 bites, saw 2 bugs the next day and management denied that there was any bugs! They said they inspected the bed and nothing was there. They would not help other than change our room. DO NOT STAY THERE!!!!

treadmill, pool i would have gone in if three kids had not already been in it when i arrived. nice bed, good room, felt safe, TGIF was 300 feet away as was the marriott where i had my meeting. staff was nice, vending machines and great breakfast. for 125 (they didn't charge for parking) it was a steal compared to the others that went for 150+

I don't understand some of the negatives in others' reviews. We found our room to be just right. We did not spend much time in it as we caught the shuttle to Midway and from there got on the mass transit train to go downtown. This is not hard to do, although one has to walk through the airport to the opposite side (East?) to get on the trains. We did this trip to Chicago without a vehicle, purchasing our passes from a kiosk at the airport. They are then good to ride any bus or train. My favorite part of the hotel was the bed! It was THE most comfortable bed I have ever slept on - anywhere! The linens are all completely washable, and you get the impression that they have just been laundered before you use them. We had a microwave and a refrigerator and that met our needs quite well. For our family of four the suite was a little small when we had the rollaway out and the sofa bed opened, but again, this was only when it was time to sleep. We found the staff to be quite helpful and enthusiastic, and the cookies in the evenings were wonderful; just get there early!
