Holiday Inn Express & Suites Prospect Heights by IHG
Our stay was great but you probably want to request a room on the side away from the main road which sounded like it was probably noisy early for that side of the building.

Motel 6 Prospect Heights, IL
Air conditioning was good, shower was clean, free parking, 10$ for early check in. “Cafeteria” had a microwave, however when we were using it saw a cockroach so don’t go if you have a fear of pests. Overall not bad for price. They also have a good ice machine and some vending machines.
