Food and Drink Options

The on-site bistro serves up American fare and drinks, with breakfast available—perfect for slow mornings after late nights. While there’s no 24/7 room service, there’s a snack bar for quick bites, and plenty of walkable or nearby dining spots to explore. Grab a late snack on your way back or refuel before heading out.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself keeps things chill, you’re a quick drive from bars and lounges in Arlington Heights and downtown Chicago. The in-house bar is great for a nightcap, especially if you’re not quite ready to call it a night after the encore.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviewers highlight the quiet atmosphere that makes it easy to recover after a concert-packed night. The free parking and proximity to the airport also earn high marks, especially for travelers flying in for a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel can feel a bit far from downtown nightlife without a car, so plan on using rideshares or public transit. Also, while the on-site food is convenient, the menu is limited—especially for late-night cravings.

The Bottom Line

A peaceful, well-equipped stay just outside the city—Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Arlington Heights/South is a smart pick for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and quick access to Chicago’s top music venues.
