The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chicago North Shore - Niles By IHG

Comfort and Convenience Near Chicago’s Music Scene

Modern, affordable, and just a short drive from downtown Chicago, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chicago North Shore - Niles blends suburban comfort with city access. Located in the quiet North Shore area, this hotel is only 7 miles from O’Hare International Airport and about 14 miles from Chicago’s top concert venues—making it a smart base for music lovers on the move. With a heated indoor pool, free hot breakfast, and clean, spacious rooms equipped with microwaves and mini fridges, it’s designed for ease and relaxation.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the free parking and the hotel’s location—close enough to reach the city’s top venues in under 30 minutes, but far enough away to sleep soundly after the encore. The check-out time of 12:00 PM is perfect for post-show sleep-ins, and with free WiFi throughout, it’s easy to upload those epic concert clips. Proximity to O’Hare also makes it a hassle-free pick for travelers flying in for a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly home base with space to hang out
  • Solo travelers flying in to see a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a weekend of music and city adventures
  • Fans who want a quiet place to recharge after a loud crowd
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want modern comforts

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel serves a complimentary hot breakfast buffet—ideal after a night out. Each room features a microwave and fridge for midnight snacks, and there are plenty of restaurants within a short drive for pre- or post-concert bites. Delivery apps work well here too.

Nightlife Options

Though nightlife in Niles is quieter than downtown, you’re only a short Uber or Lyft ride away from some of Chicago’s best live music bars, lounges, and clubs. Prefer something low-key? Pick up drinks and chill in your room with premium TV or relax in the indoor pool.

What People Say

Guests rave about the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, the friendly staff, and the value for money. Many mention how easy it is to reach both the airport and downtown venues. The free parking and quiet surroundings are also big pluses after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

While not right in the heart of the action, the trade-off is a quieter, more affordable stay. You’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most concert venues or late-night food spots, but navigation is easy and traffic is usually manageable.

The Bottom Line

If you’re headed to a Chicago show and want a comfortable, quiet, and affordable stay with easy airport and venue access, this hotel hits the right note.

Decent but for the price...

Liked: The location was good but plan on a 45 minute drive to the pier and note when the pier is open.
Disliked: As soon as I walked into the lobby to check in you could smell the chlorine from the pool. I booked the hotel specifically because it had a pool. However around 7p staff called the room to say unfortunately it wouldn’t be open check in night but would be open at 6am the day of check out. This morning the pool was half full and was still closed. It should be noted when booking online that a facility is not available so we can decide whether to look elsewhere.
