What i need to mention is what i cam back after the fist night , i found my room had not been cleaned . When i inquiried at reception they said well you did'nt ask for ... Never seen/heard anything similar in a 3 stars hotel in 45 years of traveling . So it's up to you to do what you need to do with this , but honestly I will never stay again there and will probably make direct reservations from now on on hotel chains I have already experienced . Btw i was promised a discount for my room not done , discount which was not applied. In summary this is a hotel where they probably do not expect customers to come back and they know they will alsways be full because Chicago is a very visited city. Enough said on this bad experience.

There was a pile of crumbs in the hallway close to the elevator on the floor where our room was that was there the entire four days of our stay, despite the fact that we called it to the attention of both the reception clerk and a maid.

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!

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.
