Low Risk

Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro has been inspected 26 times since 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Oct 17, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around eight violations to closer to zero violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “proper cooling methods used”, showing up 12 times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
