Great Location

Our stay at Holiday Inn Express at Chicago was a pleasant one. It was a great location for many of the things we wanted to do. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise. We thought we were going to get the usual cereal and toast. Instead they had eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy along with another assortment of breakfast foods. It was wonderful. We will stay here again when we come to Chicago.

Very ultra-modern design. Wonderful!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Holiday Inn Express CHICAGO - MAGNIFICENT MILE for a 1-night, 2 day stay in Chicago. First time to this city and loved every minute of it! Highly recommend this hotel, as it is very close to Michigan Ave AND the Double Decker Bus Co tours. In addition, Uno's (and Pizzeria Due) are within a minute walk. Do what is right when you plan a trip to Chicago and book your room at Holiday Inn Express CHICAGO - MAGNIFICENT MILE! All the best:)

Really enjoyed our stay here. The location was fantastic. It was only a couple of short blocks to the Magnificent Mile. Service was outstanding. Rooms were small but clean. The breakfast was top notch. Would definitely stay here again.
