I've stayed at this Holiday Inn 3 times in the last few years, last time being back in May. I visit the area a lot and this is not my favorite hotel but I have to say it has the biggest pool around with a fountain in the middle so it's well liked by kids. The hotel and rooms are clean but you can tell it's getting old without any recent updating. There are several newer hotels in the area for the same price that include free breakfast and some even have free happy hour drinks and food. I'm a big fan of free breakfast so I usually stay at the Comfort Suites and Country Inn in Elgin or even the Holiday Inn Express in Algonquin. They do have a Bennigan's restaurant/bar in the lobby which is nice when you want to have food and drinks without having to drive anywhere. Also within a few minutes drive are several restaurant options, a mall and even the Grand Victoria Casino. O'Hare is about 25-30 mins away if no traffic, if leaving during the morning rush you might want to allow up to an hour to the airport.
