Wyndham Garden, Elk Grove Village, O'Hare


SERVICE & CHECKIN -- A positive experience overall, although speed was not this gentlemen's strong suit. They also waste a lot of trees for menial signatures ♻️... No tap pay support; really falling behind the times here people 😕

Latest checkout offered is 1230.

The housekeeping staff are some of the sloppiest I've encountered to date as far as conduct goes. They also enter rooms w/o cause or respect for the DnD sign. Tighten up! 🙄

Parking available onsite.

LOBBY & TRANSITIONS -- Gigantic & clean. The orientation, color psychology, & flow feel really good. Entering & exploring the building is a pleasant experience due to the excellent upkeep.

ROOM (walkthrough) -- Standard L-shape room with a clean feel. The sunlight was AMAZING during the day, completely filling this spacious room. I didn't mind the lack of functional windows so much as a result. The workstation was also a standout; the chair provided excellent support and a relaxing texture. There's a good-enough amount of storage provided as well (closet + dresser drawers).

If you're lucky you'll also get a decent view, but the surrounding area is more industrial so YMMV.



BED -- Favorable bed setup. All boxes checked, just nothing noteworthy to callout.

✅ clean linens

✅ mattress support

✅ pillow loft

BATH -- A really small bath space for a split-bath setup. It's overall poor mostly due to maintenance: the clogged drain & visible mineral build up on shower head were the most off-putting. The rest of the experience is just inherently mediocre on top of that: No-frills alcove combination shower; uncomfortable low toilet, small towels, no ventilation...

Disappointing, but the Beekman toiletries were actually good.

Tech & ENTERTAINMENT -- Yester-year LG TV. The user experience is frustrating due to how slow it operates & the resolution.

Thankfully there's a mini casino onsite in the restaurant area! That was a delight.

WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Very mid cell coverage throughout the room. Internet speeds were all over the place; below average even for "free" due to the insane packet loss.

--Performance--

Video streaming - average

Online gaming - good

Video chatting - good

--Nerd Stats--

8-30 Mbps download

5-22 Mbps upload

1% packet loss

77 ms latency

31 ms jitter


FOOD & DRINK -- DoorDash friendly.

Breakfast hours are 6-11 and it's NOT complimentary. Menus weren't allergy friendly (my loss) but having made-to-order food Is incredibly convenient for those that can partake.

The grill is open late too.

In-room:

✅ Large mini fridge

✅ Mini microwave

✅ coffee

NOISE -- Not at all sound proof. Expect to hear neighboring guest's iPhone alarms ⏰.

Housekeeping chisme @ 7 in the morning was also a headache.


LOCATION -- More of an industrial area. Upkeep could be better around the property, like trash in the parking lot. It felt safe at least.



RATING

Competitively priced so it's worth a look, it's just very mediocre in some important areas.

Lukewarm recommendation.

3/5 ⭐️
