Great instruction and communication from owners. Clean and well kept. Convenient location to so many downtown attractions. Comfortable place to stay. We were really pleased. The only negative is the outside noise (the downside to staying amid the hustle and bustle of the downtown area). I suspect it's the same anywhere nearby. Might consider bringing earplugs for sleeping. Overall, a nice place for a couple to spend a long weekend enjoying Chicago!
We stayed at this property a few days prior to the Chicago Half marathon. The location is great, though it must be next to an ambulance or a fire truck hub because the sirens were very frequent. The apartment was clean (except for the windows on the outside) and had everything we needed. Having said that, itâs a bit outdated with generic decor and furnishings. Same goes for the building overall. The check-in and checkout times had zero flexibility so consider that when booking.
Everything about the stay was top-notch. The unit was clean and perfect for a short business trip. The location was excellent. The hostâs instructions were clear and accurate at every step. I would definitely stay at this unit again.
We decided to spring break to the city. We are country folk from southern Missouri. We came up for the St.Patricks parade, river dying, museums and aquarium. Staying in a Penthouse on the 52nd floor really was the cherry on top. This apartment was great. It was clean, had everything we needed and was conveniently located to great shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.
Great location! Great view! Great hosts! Family Thanksgiving in Chicago for the first time bc our daughter works retail in Chicago and couldnât come home. We were close to her work; walked to chriskindlemarket one day; walked to Michigan Ave and vicinity shopping; walked to Thanksgiving day parade; walked to restaurants and grocery; able to relax and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, football, family time in the spacious apt; L stop right outside; quiet and convenient.
Tremendous property! Check in was easy and location was amazing. Within steps of the CTA and walking distance to the mag mile, theater, the Christmas market and Navy Pier. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped. Elevators were fast and building was secure with a door person at the front desk most hours of the day. It was winter, so we were unable to use the pool or the outside track, but the fitness area on floor nine had quite a few treadmills, weights and even a basketball court. Overall, our stay was excellent. There is a grocery store next door and lots of restaurants within walking distance. I would recommend the Star of Siam. Would definitely stay here again, next time we come to Chicago.
Our stay was amazing, the door staff was fabulous. The security of the building and parking garage is perfect. We had everything we needed and more, we stayed for 5 nights, the kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed to cook meals.
My sister and I are from the country, and decided to take a sisters trip to Chicago. Getting this penthouse was the best decision we made! The hosts were amazing and quickly got back to us when we had questions. Everyone in the building was so friendly and kind. The penthouse was clean and had all the space we needed. The views of the city were even better than I could imagine. The sirens could be loud at times, but thatâs inevitable in the city. We walked almost everywhere we wanted to go. I would stay here again 1000%
This is the 3rd time staying at one of the same properties. Communication is clear throughout the process. The properties are well maintained. It is nice when staying for 6 days to have a place that feels like home. The views are great and so are the door men.
This property was perfect for my family of four. Location was great, for our trip. Discounted parking was a huge plus and management was great communicators!
The penthouse was clean with exceptional views of the green river in the midst of the Chicago skyline! My partner and I came to Chicago for a concert and to visit her son. The place was clean and comfortable. The location was awesome - we were able to walk to the river event and the St Patrick's Day parade and we could uber everywhere else we wanted to go. Check-in was easy and coming and going from the building was clear and simple. (Starbucks was a short walk next door every morning!) We loved the experience overall!
The only minor issue was the pillows in the bedroom were really dense and uncomfortable, but we we did fine. Again, great experience - the owners were clear about expectations and really easy to work with! We will definitely stay here again!
Absolutely loved our stay here at The Grand Plaza!!! Perfect location, literally the redline subway entrance was right outside the main plaza door, doesnât get any better than that. Priceless views of the city, like someone said prior to us staying here, âit's like something out of a movie.â It felt very cozy, this place has everything you need for a VERY comfortable stay with the fully stocked kitchen utensils youâd need, washer & dryer and even a grocery store on the 1st floor right outside the main entrance. Everyone we encountered during our stay at the Grand Plaza was super nice, checking in and out was easy with no issues. I think itâs safe to say that weâll be staying here again next year!!!
Thank you, Jim & Jeri-Lou for everything, we had a memorable stay. đ
