Fairfield Inn & Suites Chicago Midway Airport

I have to say the hotel is conveniently located and the accommodations were quite comfortable; however their customer service leaves much to be desired. They didn’t clean our room throughout the day and when we called to have fresh towels brought up the front desk clerk was very RUDE (didn’t even apologize for the room not being cleaned) and said that if we wanted fresh towels we could get them ourselves.

A big shout out to Tricia Thibodeaux at the Marriott reservation center! She booked the perfect spot for my husband and daughter! The hotel was clean and comfortable with an inclusive breakfast! A shuttle will take you you to the «L.» The desk help, Paige, was super friendly and ohh so helpful! This is a great place to stay!

I recently stayed as part of a long layover in Midway, so I didn’t have an extensive experience with the hotel. However, arriving I was greeted by a very friendly front desk assistant. She was also extremely helpful. The room was very well maintained and very clean. And quiet. Check out was a breeze, and again was helped by a very friendly front desk assistant. Didn’t have time for the breakfast in the morning, but it looked like the standard Fairfield fare.
I will definitely be back if I find myself in the area.

This building badly needs a renovation. It is very outdated and dingy. My room smelled quite musty, which made me worry about the level of cleanliness. It was not cheap — for $ 200 a night, I would expect much better accommodations.
On the plus side, the 3 staff persons that I interacted with were very nice and professional, so kudos to them. (I was only staying one night — I was there because I missed my connecting flight.)

I am so extremely grateful for this hotel, which is why it’s getting 5 stars. Not that it’s anything spectacularly special, but it was just really nice to have a warm place to stay after finding out my flight to Boston got cancelled and I would have to stay the night in Chicago (at 11 pm… this was a really bad experience with Southwest.)
I was flying (alone) to Boston, and I called my mom telling her that my flight got cancelled and I would have to stay in Chicago for the night. She booked this Fairfield through the Marriott agent with her points and within 15 minutes, I had a place to stay. I took the free airport shuttle to the hotel, which is located in this plaza of a bunch of other hotels near Midway airport. I’m thinking people get stuck in Chicago a lot due to weather & stuff. I was miserable because I was stuck in below freezing Chicago wearing California appropriate clothes with no luggage, no sleep clothes, nothing. But I did get a hot shower, toothpaste, a warm bed, and a free continental breakfast the next day, which was definitely a huge boost from my crappy past few days. The woman at the front desk was extremely nice even though she had to turn people away and was working tirelessly, trying to help others get rooms in other hotels. and it was midnight.
Honestly, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Free wifi, free breakfast, and they easily accommodate anything you need (like toiletries, which I didn’t have.) If you want to visit downtown Chicago, just take the airport shuttle back to Midway and take the orange line into the city circle. Catch a bit of beautiful Chicago before going through security again and finding out your flight is cancelled.

I had a great stay here. Clean hotel with friendly staff. I really like the shuttle to/​from the airport. There was also a TGI Friday’s in the same parking lot that delivered! No complaints!

After having just stayed in a different Fairfield that wasn’t the greatest, this one was a definite improvement. It was a fair price, quite clean, and the staff was friendly, especially our maid. The surrounding neighborhood seemed a little sketchy, but the hotel was amongst many others in a little complex that was very safe and quiet. The only thing that was loud was the air conditioner, but that wasn’t a huge deal for us. The TGI Friday’s across the parking lot was very convenient, and they will even deliver food to your room. Parking was very easy and the proximity to Chicago without the price was of course a plus.

I was booked to do a music clinic in the South Suburbs of Chicago, so I hopped on Priceline and this Fairfield Inn accepted my 2-​star bid. I was familiar with the O’Hare area airports, but I’d never stayed down by MDW and was intrigued by the «hotel campus» set-​up they have down there.
The hotel provided exactly what I expected and needed. It was inexpensive, clean, and the two members of the staff I interacted with were extremely helpful. The only thing I found out after booking the hotel was that there is an overnight parking charge ($ 12, I believe), but this wasn’t one of those «downtown valet» situations where they store your car 5 miles away. I parked right in front, so the fee was a small price to pay for convenience.
Even though I didn’t order room service, my inner-​child thought it was friggin’ awesome that room service is provided by TGI Friday’s. And the service charge is $ 1 per item — no crazy hotel mark-​ups. The Saturday morning continental breakfast was not all that thrilling, but I grabbed some coffee, fruit, and a few hard-​boiled eggs for the road.
I’ll continue booking hotels on Priceline, but if I have to stay near MDW again, I hope William Shatner grants me another stay at the Fairfield.

I was forced to stay here because I was snowed in on my way back to NYC. There is a massive blizzard that’s hitting the northeast right now.
I snagged this place on priceline for cheap, and it’s well worth it.
5 stars for all of the included amenities:
breakfast
wi-​fi
Airport shuttle
Indoor Pool (kind of a small pool, but hey, it’s kinda nice if it’s cold out.
Exercise room (just 2 cardio machines)
Really nice hotel, very friendly employees. For a 2* hotel, I was expecting a dump, but this was super nice!
For all of this stuff, I don’t see why you would pay more stay anywhere else.

This hotel is $ 60 less than The Courtyard Marriott right next door. The rooms are clean and nice, the people working here are friendly and willing to us find what we needed for dinners and outings. There is an indoor pool and a small exercise room (treadmill, tv and some free weights). The complimentary breakfast was great. There were eggs, a waffle maker, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, sweet rolls, breads/​bagels, juice, coffee, milk. I will stay here again if I am ever in the area.

My family stayed here over Christmas (and I stayed with them one night) and I was very impressed with the hotel, especially considering it was a holiday.
The hotel was clean. The rooms were very comfortable. I didn’t use the indoor pool, but it seemed nice, and everyone around it/​playing in it seemed happy.
The staff was very accommodating. They gave the maids Christmas day off, but there were a few staff members who still went door to door asking if we needed any fresh towels, soaps, or if there was any trash they could remove.
The breakfast was your typical breakfast: bagels, fruit, cereal. However they also had a waffle maker and bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits, which completely made my morning. As well, there was always a staff member in the dining area making sure everything was clean and no one had problems (either heating sandwiches or using the waffle maker).
Because my family didn’t plan ahead, we found ourselves on Christmas Eve without dinner plans. My dad ran out to Walgreen’s to pick up snacks, and the front desk allowed us to use their kitchen to prepare our food.
Great place to stay!
