Not Much to this Hilton
Quiet, Mature Crowd, Business People, Not Downtown, Not Hip, Not Lively
December 27 2007: I've stayed at the Hilton Northbrook a couple of times on business because my company has an office nearby. Frankly, the ONLY reason I stayed here was to maintain my Hilton status and points. If it weren't for that, I'd probably choose a different option.There's nothing terribly wrong with this Hilton, but it's just seen better days.
Location -- Kind of secluded and by itself, although just a few blocks from a strip mall and not too far from the highway. The advantage is that is is fairly quiet. Parking is free and there seemed to be enough spots. You're within easy driving distance to a few fast food and casual restaurants.
Rooms -- Overall, the hotel is somewhat dated. It could certainly benefit from a makeover. The rooms themselves were fairly roomy, but nothing spectacular. Your standard 2.5 or 3 star quality room.
Amenities -- Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to check out much here. There's a restaurant attached to the hotel that seemed pretty nice. The executive lounge is probably the smallest that I've ever seen at Hilton and fairly pathetic.
Service -- Overall, good service. Both times I stayed here I checked in very late and the front desk was very friendly. I once had a problem with my lock and they sent someone up right away.
Overall, this is a slightly below average Hilton, and barely clinging on to its 3 star status. It's quiet and reliable, but definitely nothing spectacular. If you really need to stay in this area, I would recommend the Renaissance. It's only a couple of miles away and slightly more modern and contemporary.
