Our guests arrive from the world's four corners and from throughout the United States, and then return to make Wooded Isle Suites their home away from home.

    Numerous small ethnic restaurants and transportation to downtown Chicago, O'Hare Airport, Midway Airport, and McCormick Place Convention Center are all readily available. Lodging in Hyde Park introduces you to a South Side Chicago neighborhood, is less expensive than the downtown hotels, inns, & hotel suites, provides the space and comfort of a kitchen-equipped apartment and is lodging "outside the box."
    Get to McCormick Place Convention Center in 10 minutes by commuter train. Walk to the University of Chicago in 10 - 15 minutes. The University of Chicago Hospitals and Medical Center is a mile away. We are across the park from the Museum of Science & Industry and 10 blocks from DuSable Museum of African American History. Downtown shopping and the Art Institute of Chicago are only 15 minutes away by commuter train and 20 - 25 minutes by car or bus.
    And, We Guarantee Your Satisfaction!

    Each time you or your guests come to Chicago, we wish to be your "home base." We want you to be so satisfied that you will not only return, but you will refer us to your friends and family.

    We listen, we respond, and we make it right! If we cannot make it right, Wooded Isle Suites offers a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE to each guest, providing that you tell us, before noon the following day, why you were not happy with your first night's lodging.
