The room was nice and clean but the walls are thin. My neighbors were up late drinking and being loud. I could hear everything and smell the aftermath in the hall. Breakfast was mediocre, the serve chopped eggs, bacon BITS, and potatoes each morning. Coffee was always available. They have a pool and workout room as well. Parking is free and the location is conveniently close to Rosemont fun.

Avid was a great hotel! It was super clean and the staff was very friendly. The area is really close to the airport but a bit far off from Chicago city. The area has a lot of food choices and grocery stores nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re fine being a bit far off from the city center!
