Nice hotel

The location was perfect for us as we were visiting our daughter who lives on the same street as the hotel. The main/common areas of the hotel are very nice, but the rooms are just ok, and the bathroom was every small. I will stay here again based on location.
Becky, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location was great! Walking distance to the Red line CTA station, which we took all over town. The free breakfast was restaurant quality, well beyond a typical hotel breakfast. The bar was lively and fun, so the 2 free drinks were a nice plus.

Mark, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A stunning hotel lobby, inviting hotel bar, and excellent hotel breakfast buffet made for a great spot for us to land on our two night Chicago trip. We took the bus everywhere from nearby the hotel, so being a little farther north was not a bother to us on our sight seeing. It was nice to be couched in an area of local apartments and shops for locals (not necessarily tourists). It was a beautiful, leafy neighborhood to be in during late summer. Our room had cool design, a little wear on the carpet, and a comfortable, clean bed and bathroom. We'd stay here again.
Ellen, 2-night trip

Property was nice and a great location. Breakfast was good/convenient
Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms of the hotel are a bit older but you can tell they do their best to keep them clean. Our tv didn’t work so that was a negative even though maintenance tried to fix it. I appreciated the breakfast coupons for morning buffet and complimentary water bottles too. The best part was the short walk to the lakefront. The worst part was the horrible parking situation.

Denise, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay in Chicago at The Chicago Hotel. Check in was really quick and easy. At check in we were handed 6 bottles of water, 2 drink coupons and 2 breakfast coupons which was such a bonus! Our room was extremely comfortable (space wise, pillows and beds!). We were very impressed with how quiet the room was. We didnt hear any noise all night long. We slept great! Waking up after such a great nights sleep to the breakfasts buffet was a treat! The food was great and the dining area was very well attended considering how crowded it was. Our next visit to Chicago will definitely include a stay in the beautiful neighborhood of Gold Coast!

Check in

Beautiful lobby and restaurant. Rooms are fairly spacious. The check in/check out process was long and needs work. The line was out of the door for check in with only one person working the majority of the time. Breakfast included was a nice perk and parking wasn’t too high.
Breanna, 1-night trip

Loved it here ! We will stay here every time we visit Chicago!

Hidden Fees

Hidden fees within booking. $150 Charge for drink and breakfast tickets that you will never use. I overheard a few guests complaining about it too
Jake, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Shame. Was the most beautiful hotel in the day. $ was a steal. but sad it’s so neglected. Hallways needed a vacuum. Rooms are decent but carpet is old. First room smelled of mold/musty. Front desk changed immediately. Breakfast staff was very nice. For the price- a deal to accept the neglect of such an iconic hotel. Great location.
Debbie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel location and value were great. It’s a dated property and rooms (esp bathroom) was tiny. Ok for the money.
