Wyndham Garden Schaumburg Chicago Northwest

Wasn't so sure about the place when I first arrived really late at night and in a horrible mood after 7 hours of driving, but slept well in the quite comfortable bed, which is what really counts. Linens are in good condition. Price is good. Staff is nice, room has been updated at some point, but long enough ago that there isn't any toxic crap evaporating out of the carpeting as is usual when a place is recently renovated. Carpeting and all were clean. In most hotels, I wake up with a swollen face and stuffy nose from all the ambient stuff, but this place was good that way. Sink and tub drains were not clogged. It doesn't make a great first impression, but grows on you. Only nits are: The fridge makes some funny sounds, but can be turned off; I turned it back on for the second and third nights and didn't mind at all, so it was probably my initial mood that first night. The bathroom has nice granite counter-top, etc., but is corner mounted, so the walls and thus the mirrors are at an angle, so shaving means turning to the side for a look, then forward, etc.. Breakfast not included -- $14 extra Note that heat/cool unit in corner of the room is unnecessary -- there is a central air handling system (air return is in the bathroom) -- but it can be used to boost the temperature for bathing or cut after a workout. Can sleep comfortably without it and its fan noise. I think the fan noise is loud enough to cover hall noise, which there wasn't during my trip.

Just needs to be updated and more consistent services like shuttles

Carpet by window got wet when rained.

Good

Check in was not timely. There no enough people working behind the front desk. 15+ people waiting in line to check in. Room was clean and updated recently. TV in the room did not work. This was a problem
