The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Chicago Northwest-Vernon Hills By IHG

Comfortable Convenience Near Chicago’s Music Scene

Modern, affordable, and easygoing, Holiday Inn Express Chicago Northwest-Vernon Hills is a solid base for concert-goers heading to shows in the northern suburbs or even downtown Chicago. Located just 19 miles from O’Hare International Airport and 10 miles from Six Flags Great America, this 2-star hotel offers a relaxed vibe with practical amenities like free WiFi, air-conditioned rooms, and a 24-hour front desk to keep your stay hassle-free.

Each room includes a flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, and electric tea pot—perfect for winding down after a show. Whether you're catching a concert, a festival, or just exploring the area, this hotel offers a quiet retreat with easy access to nearby venues and attractions.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s location in Vernon Hills puts you within easy driving distance of several popular music venues, while keeping you away from the bustle of the city. Late check-out at 12:00 PM gives you time to sleep in after a late night, and the 24-hour front desk means you can roll in at any hour. Quiet surroundings and non-smoking rooms make it ideal for recovering post-show. Plus, being near major highways and O’Hare Airport makes getting to and from concerts simple.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to shows together
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend escape
  • Fans who want a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. The hotel offers a free daily breakfast—great for recharging after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’ll find plenty of restaurants within walking distance or a short drive away. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-room amenities like a tea kettle and nearby takeout options make late-night bites easy to manage.

Nightlife Options

Though there’s no on-site bar or live music venue, Vernon Hills has a handful of laid-back bars and lounges nearby, perfect for pre- or post-show drinks. Looking for more action? A short drive gets you to livelier nightlife spots in nearby Libertyville or north Chicago suburbs.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere. Many mention the hotel’s great value for the price and its easy access to major roads and venues. The comfortable beds and modern room features are also frequently praised.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the property is starting to show its age in spots, and the breakfast selection can be basic compared to larger hotels. If you're hoping for a bar or on-site restaurant, you'll need to venture out—but that’s part of the adventure, right?

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Express Chicago Northwest-Vernon Hills is a smart, budget-friendly pick for concert-goers who want a quiet, comfortable stay with easy access to music venues and late-night amenities.
