Luxury Getaway: Unforgettable Chicago Stay at Embassy Suites Deerfield!
Luxury Getaway: Unforgettable Chicago Stay at Embassy Suites Deerfield!
Let's Talk Embassy Suites Deerfield: Deerfield's Surprisingly Awesome Secret (and My Slightly Embarrassing Spa Story)
Okay, so you're thinking Chicago, right? Big city, deep dish, maybe a little wind (especially in winter - brrr!). But what if I told you, just a skip away, lies a little haven called Embassy Suites Deerfield? Yeah, Deerfield. Sounds… suburban, I know. But trust me, for a luxury getaway, especially one that balances convenience with a little pampering, this place is a solid contender. And I’m not just saying that because I needed a serious escape from… well, let’s just say life.
First Impressions (and My Slightly Awkward Arrival)
Right off the bat, accessibility is key. This place? Wheelchair accessible, elevators everywhere, and I saw ramps galore. Major points for inclusivity, folks. Plus, the lobby is HUGE. Like, "wow, this is bigger than my apartment" huge. And the check-in? Contactless check-in/out? Yes, please. Made my slightly frazzled arrival feel a little more Zen. They also have a 24-hour front desk, which is a lifesaver when you arrive at some ungodly hour like I did. Also, they have luggage storage since I arrived before my scheduled check-in and had some time to kill.
The entire place felt clean – and that's something I REALLY appreciate these days. They have Daily disinfection in common areas, anti-viral cleaning products… all that good stuff. Plus, I noticed hand sanitizer stations galore. Felt safe; felt good.
The Room: Space! Space! Glorious Space!
Okay, the rooms are what sold me. Non-smoking rooms which is great. And a separate sleeping area and living area? Luxury. Pure, unadulterated luxury. I’m talking Air conditioning, Blackout curtains (essential for my sleep-til-noon tendencies), a desk to pretend I was going to work (ha!), a mini-bar that may or may not have been raided… and a fridge! So vital for that late-night snack stash. They even had complimentary bottled water. Small touch, big win. And, get this, my room had free Wi-Fi – (and a LAN cable for that super secure connection, you know, in case I needed to download something important).
The in-room safe, a hair dryer, a coffee/tea maker, and a cozy seating area. It was a legit home away from home, only better because someone else cleaned up after me. The soundproofing was a blessing because I’m a light sleeper and I hate noise. They also had a bathtub, even a separate shower! Pure bliss.
Food, Glorious Food (and My Confession… About the Breakfast)
Now, let's talk food. Restaurants on site? Check. A bar for a pre-dinner cocktail? Absolutely. They even have a coffee shop. They offer Room service 24 hours a day which is my favorite.
The breakfast? Oh, the breakfast. This is where Embassy Suites shines. Breakfast buffet? Yep. But not just any buffet! Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, ALL THE THINGS. I'm talking eggs cooked to order, waffles, fruit, pastries, and the best darn bacon this side of the Mississippi. Let's just say I may have gone back for thirds… and maybe fourths. Don't judge.
Spa Day Shenanigans (and My Terrible, Wonderful Scrub)
Alright, confession time. I booked a spa day. And… well, it was an experience. They boast a Spa, sauna, steamroom, a gym and fitness center (which I definitely didn't use), and I went for the full works. Body scrub, body wrap, the whole shebang.
First, the good: the massage was divine. Seriously, melted all my stress into a puddle on the comfy massage table. Pure heaven. The pool with a view looked inviting, but I was too busy getting kneaded.
Now, the not-so-good (or maybe it was good?): the body scrub. Let me tell you, the therapist was lovely, but she clearly underestimated my ability to giggle uncontrollably when being exfoliated. I’m talking full-body giggle fits. The experience itself was great, but I'm not sure if she was enjoying my performance or not. It was a truly messy, hilarious, and deeply relaxing experience. It's one of those memories I'll cherish forever.
Beyond the Room: Things to DO
This isn't just a hotel; it’s practically a mini-resort. While you're in Deerfield, you're likely there for the hotel amenities, which are fantastic. You can splash in the Swimming pool [outdoor], or if you're feeling athletic, hit that Fitness center. As I mentioned before, they do have a Sauna and Spa which is top-notch.
The Little Extras (that Made a Big Difference)
- Free Car Park: This is crucial, especially if you're driving. Seriously, parking fees can kill a vacation budget.
- Convenience Store: Perfect for late-night snacks and forgotten essentials.
- Laundry service and Dry Cleaning: Because, let's face it, sometimes you just don't want to do laundry.
- Cash Withdrawal: Always handy.
Safety & Cleanliness: Feeling Secure
Let's be honest in the post-pandemic world, this is major. Embassy Suites Deerfield earns serious points for their hygiene and safety measures.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Reassuring.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Peace of mind.
- Hand sanitizer stations: Everywhere! Awesome.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: They're prepared.
Is It Worth It? (My Verdict)
Absolutely, YES. I did enjoy my stay, and for what you get – that space, the incredible breakfast, the amenities, the safety – the Embassy Suites Deerfield is a top-notch choice.
My Quirky Takeaways
- The Breakfast is Life. Seriously. Just go.
- The Spa is a Must. Even if you're a giggler like me.
- Deerfield might surprise you. It's a great base for exploring the area.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my chaotic, slightly-too-optimistic, and probably-going-to-end-in-a-pile-of-laundry itinerary for a stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago North Shore Deerfield. Prepare for some real-world travel… with all its glorious imperfections.
Day 1: Arrival and Mild Panic (aka the Day I Remembered I'm Not a Travel Blogger)
- 1:00 PM - Arrival and Check-In Debacle: Oh, the sweet, sweet smell of hotel air conditioning and… the awkward shuffle when I realized I hadn't printed my confirmation. "Uh, yeah, I think I have a reservation under… *shuffles through phone*… me. Yeah. Me." The poor front desk person just smiled and said, "No problem, happens all the time." Lies. I bet I'm the ONLY ONE who forgets this. I'm already flustered. This is why I SHOULD have picked the extended stay.
- 1:30 PM - Suite Orientation (and the Search for the Remote Control): Okay, the suite. It's… spacious. Double beds! I’m traveling with… me. This is probably fine. I immediately launched into a panicked search for the TV remote. Because, priorities. Found it! (Under the couch). My immediate reaction? Sigh of relief followed by planning to actually watch TV… I didn't end up watching any.
- 2:00 PM - The Free Cocktail Hour (and My Inner Social Awkwardness): Free. Cocktails. This is where things could get interesting. Or awkward. My social skills are currently stuck in 1998. I grab a glass of complimentary wine. Two cocktails, a handful of chips and salsa later, I'm feeling a little more… chatty? Maybe I should just focus on people-watching instead. I'm suddenly very interested in the business travelers in crisp suits and the families wrestling tiny children. This is the perfect time for a mental health check. Am I enjoying this? I will say yes.
- 4:00 PM - Mild Panic Regarding Dinner: Where to eat? Seriously. I googled "restaurants near Embassy Suites Deerfield." This is very important. I chose a chain. It was fine. (I now regret my choices). Next time I’ll be sure to branch out.
- 6:00 PM - Attempt at "Relaxation" (and the Hotel Gym Meltdown): Hotel gym. I swear, hotel treadmills are designed to make you feel inadequate. I managed a pathetic 20-minute walk and then promptly collapsed. Maybe tomorrow I’ll use the pool. (Spoiler alert: I didn't.)
- 8:00 PM - Bedtime, Sort Of: I ordered room service. I felt slightly guilty about it. I watched a movie. I felt slightly guilty about that too. I finally got to bed at 10, listening to the hum of the air conditioner and wondering if I’d packed enough socks.
Day 2: The Deerfield Expedition (and the Rollercoaster of Expectations)
- 7:00 AM - The Free Breakfast Battle: "Made-to-order omelets!" the sign promised. "A scrum of hungry tourists and desperate parents!" the reality delivered. The omelet was… alright. The coffee? Not bad. The sheer exhaustion of navigating a crowded buffet before 8 AM? Priceless.
- 8:00 AM - Deerfield Discovery (aka the Great Grocery Store Adventure): I decided I would. explore. Deerfield. This adventure quickly turned into a search for a grocery store to buy snacks and some water. The grocery store was fine. It was a grocery store. I got a bag of chips.
- 10:00 AM - Mall Meandering: Went to a mall, got bored, and left.
- 11:00 AM - The Pool (or: My Brief Encounter with Aquatic Ambitions): Yes, I finally went to the pool. It was… fine. A few kids were splashing and screaming. I dipped my toes in, decided it was too much effort, and went back to my room. I think I deserve a medal.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch from a Local Joint. I was too lazy to leave the hotel. I ordered something. It was good.
- 2:00 PM - Room time! I was very impressed with the room. It was big. It was comfortable. It was clean. More rooms should be like this.
- 3:00 PM - More Room time! I got work done!
- 6:00 PM - Dinner Again: This is the moment I did something different. I branched out. I tried a little bit of local cuisine!
- 8:00 PM - Packing and Existential Dread: Packing. Ugh. The worst part of any trip. I had to gather everything, throw it in a bag, and pretend like I understood how I did it.
- 9:00 PM - Another Movie:
Day 3: Departure (and the Bitter Sweetness of Freedom)
- 7:00 AM - The Second Breakfast Battle: More omelets. More chaos. More coffee.
- 8:00 AM - Check Out and the Final Goodbye: Okay, that was that. The hotel was…fine.
- 9:00 AM - On The Road:
Quirky Observations:
- The elevator buttons are strangely sticky.
- The free Wi-Fi is faster than my internet at home, which is just a travesty.
- The abundance of families with tiny, hyperactive children made me both sympathetic and grateful I was traveling solo.
- Did I mention how good the room was?
- I think the best memory I had was the feeling of getting away from the day-to-day.
Emotional Reactions:
- Anxiety: Mild, about the free breakfast.
- Boredom: Moderate, during mall exploration.
- Relief: Immense, finding the remote and the room.
- Happiness: A low hum of it, mostly at the end.
- Guilt: The constant companion of eating room service in a bathrobe.
- Anticipation: For my next travel adventure.
Overall Rating:
7/10. Room was great. Location was… fine. My travel skills need work. Would stay again, maybe with slightly lower expectations and a LOT more snacks. And definitely I would have learned to just book the extended stay.
