It’s time for another snapshot, this time looking at the hotel experience at the Crowne Plaza O’Hare, in Rosemont, near Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
I’m sure you’re all aware of how I do this travel writing thing by now. But for those reading this for the first time, I have two major travel writing styles:
- Trip Reports – These are full deep-dive reports taking you into the experience, the small things… as well as the big things!
- Snapshots – These are bite-sized reviews that show you the product in some gentle headlines (and normally, only images shot on the phone)
Right. On with the show and a hotel stop for a night.
Location
The Crowne Plaza O’Hare is within 10 minutes of Chicago O’Hare International Airport. It’s accessible by Shuttle bus, car and public transit, with it being a 10-minute walk from Rosemont L Station and bus station.
Check-in
I was able to check in straight away and was allocated a room on the 10th floor. An IHG elite offering of either 600 points or a welcome drink was offered. The points were selected. Unlike previous times, this rate did not include breakfast.
The Room
I was assigned a king-sized bedroom at check-in, which was located at the end of a corridor on the 10th floor. This has a little more room, with a corner view, facing out to The Rosemont Theatre and Balmoral Avenue.
The room features a king bed, dominating the room. there’s also a glass-topped table to work at. there were limited outlets by the bed, requiring a US-style plug to access (fitting an international adapter would require the movement of the lamp.

There was also an ottoman with a sofa near the window.
Coffee and Tea facilities were available, with a Keurig machine
In the bathroom, there’s a bath, toilet and sink. Amenities were provided in individual bottles.
Breakfast
Breakfast was not offered at the rate I was on. This would have been offered at the On The Fly on the ground floor. This offers a buffet breakfast or items to go.
Check Out
Checkout was a simple process, with the process completed in a matter of minutes. With that completed, I was able to continue on my trip to the Windy City.
The full review of the Crowne Plaza O’Hare is coming soon.
