Holiday Inn Chicago Dwtn - The Mart by IHG

Holiday Inn Chicago Dwtn - The Mart by IHG

8/10 Good
"Having breakfast included was great. The location was amazing and walkable to many great destinations. The bed and bathrooms were clean. The only issues I had were the ac unit leaking excessively onto the carpet and spiders outside my window. They didn’t get in but it was a bit unnerving."
