Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile

The Staff Were Friendly

Pictures were deceiving. Room was super small. We asked for a queen size bed and got a full size. Heard everyone who was next to us and outside. Room smelled a bit and faucet water wouldn’t turn hot

The location was ideal; everything we wanted to do or see was within a 15 minute walk. Plenty of shopping, restaurants, and sights nearby. Very close to the Magnificent Mile, not far from Millennium Park and the John Hancock Tower.

The bed is EXTREMELY firm (meaning, not comfortable. Even my husband, who appreciates a firm mattress, found the bed too hard). Our room was cleaned at 5:00pm on our second day (while we were getting ready for dinner). The breakfast room is poorly designed; there's no flow or convenience, it's as though things were placed where there was appropriate space but not where it would make sense in a crowded buffet room (there are no cups next to the juice dispensers, there is no milk near the cereal, the syrup is placed ON TOP of the waffle batter dispenser and must be moved each time the batter needs to be refilled, which seems to be frequently...) And there's no fan in the bathroom! This could be a crucial feature to maintaining a happy relationship! Also, why is there NEVER a nightlight in hotel bathrooms?! Im just looking for something small that guides the visitor through the unfamiliar dark space without turning on lights and/or waking up others in the room.
