Basic Hilton hotel...nothing outstanding but also not some nasty motel.
Notes:
***Smoke Free Hotel
***Starbucks in lobby
***Big rooms, clean linens
***Free wireless internet
***Free shuttle to Midway airport
***Decent room service, nothing special
***Comfy bed
***Located in a boring neighborhood full of fast food joints
***Right by a train track...heard the train about once an hour, but not loud or annoying
Disclaimer: I usually choose a hotel not on amenities and name, but of value. I'm only going to be sleeping there. I booked a night at the Oak Lawn Hilton for the night of our wedding, since I felt like splurging a little and it was the closest place to do so. We were rather tired when we finally got there, but there was one thing I had to check. I had paid $50 more (total of $185) for a "city view" room. Well, I was rather disappointed. My city view consisted of a parking lot, a pizza place, and Christ Hospital. (Not that I expected Oak Lawn to have a beautiful view anyway.) The room itself was decent, and the bed delectably comfortable. The best part was the next morning. Check out time was not until noon, so we ordered breakfast by room service, and the omelet and coffee I had was very tasty. Nothing like kicking back with breakfast delivered and ordering up some video games on the in house system!

My girlfriend and I went to my cousin's Wedding here earlier this year and we stayed the night as well. I've stayed in several Hotels in my life because my family takes a lot of Vacations so I think I have a pretty keen sense of what a good quality Hotel is like, and this is a nice Hotel. The Vending Machines were not the Greatest and I'm pretty sure there was no Arcade area, but the room was comfy and the whole place was very large. The pool looked like it would be nice. The gift shop seemed really geared towards people interested in odd nick knacks rather than the usual Hotel Gift Shop items which I guess is fine.. it's just a matter of personal interest. There was like a Deli I believe, and a small convenient Coffee place that you just walk up to. There seemed to be several Ballroom areas. The Ballroom we were in was pretty huge. The bartender seemed to be Psychic because he knew just how we wanted our drinks made. The food was pretty good from what I recall. I probably will never go here ever again in my life unless another Family member gets married there again, because it's just way too far out of my way. I would probably go again in a heartbeat if it was a block away from my house though. It was not the best Hotel ever, but it's far from the worst also, it was really big and quite comfortable.

went to a cocktail reception here, i thought the ballroom was really nice (high ceilings, nice furnishings). It was an appetizer/heavy-hors d'oeuvre reception and i thought the food was really good and there was a lot of variety.
