10.0
Pros: Our room was beautiful with a spectacular city view. Complete functioning kitchette which we did not take advantage of because we were only there one night but would have been great for a three day weekend stay. Staff was friendly and professional. We had a light fixture broken in our bathroom when we first arrived and they had it replaced and room service had cleaned the glass up in under 20 mins. Impressive for an operation this size. Within walking distance to many desired locations.
Excellent
9.7
Pros: Service staff never made me feel like I was a bother. I loved the spacious and newly remodeled room we stayed in. Beautiful bump out bay window with breathtaking views of the river and Lake Michigan. Bathroom had very high end finishes, and also included a television in the mirror!
Cons: The maintenance guy who tried to fix a broken bathroom light was using very profane language as he failed at repairing the light. However, this staff member's behavior scored us a free upgrade from city view - to river lake view - so it all worked out.

Excellent
9.6
Pros: The staff was extremely helpful with everything from directions to meal preferences. The quality of atmosphere was also very good. The decor and views from the hotel were better than anywhere I've ever stayed.
Cons: The pool area was not on par with the essence or ambiance of the rest of the hotel, with the lack of hot tub areas and the extreme plainness of the pool area compared to the rest of the hotel.
Located in Lakeview, this hotel is 0.1 mi (0.1 km) from Wrigley Field, and within 9 mi (15 km) of Navy Pier and Chicago Theatre. Art Institute of Chicago and Willis Tower are also within 9 mi (15 km). Addison Station (Red Line) is only a 4-minute walk and Sheridan Station is 11 minutes.

Pros: Beautifully designed hotel in a great location right across the street from Wrigley field. An unbelievable number of dining options packed into a 1 block space. You can’t beat the location and the prices around Christmas.
Cons: Everything about this hotel seems to be designed to separate Cubs fans from their money. The hotel part of this building really feels like an afterthought. Even though it’s been open less than a year, our junior suite was beat up. The door handle to the bathroom was falling off, the wand for the drapes was on the floor, and the TV worked intermittently. High parking prices in Chicago hotels are normal, but $53/night with no in-out is crazy. Also no refrigerator or coffee maker in the room, I suspect they’re trying to drive you to the bakery on the first floor.
Excellent
10.0
Pros: Extra friendly staff and location to Wrigley Field were the best parts of this hotel
Cons: Rather pricey, but the view is so fun!
Located in The Loop, this luxury hotel is steps away from Chicago Riverwalk and Michigan Avenue. Grant Park and Chicago Theatre are also within 10 minutes. Clark-Lake Station is 7 minutes by foot and State Station is 8 minutes.

Excellent
10.0
Pros: The rooftop bar is amazing...during the winter, however, the lounge is enclosed and not much to talk about. Our room had a gorgeous view of the river, the bed was comfortable, linens were great, and the big tv was like being in bed at a movie theatre. The workout facility was very cool, like a trip to the future. Great stay, we would do it again for sure.
Excellent
8.2
Pros: Bed was super comfy; lay out was nice. I enjoyed the location. Felt very fancy with great views
Cons: We checked in early and dropped off our bags, no problem. Then we got the notification that our room and digital key was ready, so we made our way back. When we tried to get our bags, no one was there to talk to so we had to go to the front desk and they were going to send them up. We went upstairs with our digital key ready and it didn't work. We had to go back to the front desk, only to have the staff not believe us that it didn't work. They gave us a regular key and we went back upstairs. I had wanted to freshen up but the bags had not arrived. We waited about half an hour but ended up going back to the front desk to remind them to send the bags up. After that, the stay was fine until I was over charged for the room and had to call the hotel to get the correct charges.
Excellent

Pros: Love, love, love this hotel. Fantastic location. Professional and very friendly staff. Clean, modern rooms. Absolutely love it.

7.1
Pros: Modern, relatively new, comfortable room except for shower head. Nice staff but had to wait on my room way past the 4p check-in time. Staff gave me water and premium internet because I had to wait so long for room.
Cons: I have the Hilton app and credit card. I was allowed to pick my room, so I did on the app. I did not get the room I selected. I arrived early. Was told my room was not ready. By 4 p (check-in time) it was not ready; not ready by 4:45p (yet I saw several checking in at 4p). I had to leave for dinner and opera (couldn't change into the intended clothes because of the room not ready). Shower head doesn't allow for focused stream; took a while to rinse thick hair.

Pros: My son and I had a great stay at London House! It is located perfectly and is within walking distance or a short Uber ride of Navy Pier, Millenium Park, OTC. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and staff was friendly!
Cons: We tried to eat at the hotel restaurant to avoid going out in a storm. The restaurant is more of a bar setting and the menu is not family friendly. Needless to say we braved the storm, got soaked! Great memory! Lots of good places to eat around the hotel.

Pros: Location was great.
Cons: We went to this hotel so we could have access to the rooftop lounge.

Another thing was the shower water that took very long to get hot.

Excellent
9.1
Pros: The fact that I was offered a room upgrade for approximately $100 in totally (all 3 nights combine) and great views.
Cons: The fact that this upgrade was right against an elevator on the 11th floor (1101). Throughout the stay, you could hear the elevator go up and down, the guest talking loud coming out and going into their hallways. But importantly for a Photographer, that giant TRUMP sign taking away from my cityscape photos. My suggestion would be to place any upgrades away from the main hall where the elevator is and to ask the guest questions such as, “Is this your anniversary or honeymoon “.
Located in Near North Side, this luxury hotel is steps away from Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Michigan Avenue. Water Tower Place and Chicago Water Tower are also within 5 minutes. Chicago Station (Red Line) is 7 minutes by foot and Grand Station (Red Line) is 7 minutes.

Pros: Concierge, door men excellent.
Cons: Paying for with fi? Really...at these prices? Terrible. $10.00 to use 15 min. Had no idea. Showed up on statement. Housekeeping fine first night but 2nd night left our duvets on floor and when we called to report they actually asked what we would like them to do about it. After telling them we wanted some new duvets a maid came and complied. Next day we returned to find all of our pillows with shams gone...not a functional problem since we still had pillows to sleep on but since they are part of the decor we weren't sure what that was all about. They were on the bed when we left that morning. Overall the room was quiet but I think we could do better next time. Hotel being renovated so maybe the reno rooms will blow you away...ours did not. Other than housekeeping staff the rest of staff was helpful but could have been more accommodating when we missed a night of our reservation due to being snowed in at airport in philly and unable to get there. If they couldn't refund a night of our pre paid room we thought we might have recd a complimentary night in future. They told us to ask price line about that but price line pushed it back to them...

Pros: Really enjoyed the stay here, very comfortable and a great location for the price. I needed to make a last minute update to stay a few more nights as my travel was cancelled due to weather. The employees were extremely helpful in letting me keep the same room and at the same rate.
Cons: Stayed on the same floor as the pool, so some noisy kids were expected

Pros: We loved the breakfast on every floor! The rooms were nicely decorated and very clean. The location was perfect!!
Cons: While we were okay with "no view", we didn't care for others looking into our windows. We had to keep our blinds closed the entire time. Sheers would be nice to still have the light but still have piece of mind about privacy. Perhaps next time we will ask for a view!!

Pros: Excellent location and decent breakfast with good coffee. Good shopping on the north and south side of the river. Within walking distance of the Willis Tower, the John Hancock building and Millennium Park. Excellent dual headed shower and clean bathroom. Good soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Bed was comfortable with good pillows. Window shades kept the room dark for the late sleepers. Friendly and welcoming staff. Complimentary drinks on the 6th floor every evening between 5 and 7 pm (wine and beer). The Double Cross Lounge was also open between breakfast and the evening reception if you were waiting for your room to be cleaned. Good WiFi.
Okay
5.9
Loved the location and the staff. However, for the beds they had a plain duvet with no cover. In place of a duvet cover they put a plain sheet below and on top of the duvet which obviously never stayed in place. We have stayed in much nicer hotels for the same price. Not worth the price that we paid.
Excellent

Pros: Location
Cons: The check in desks aren't the best, it gets congested and it's loud. The evening reception is nice however I received one coin for one drink?! I saw many others with many coins for drinks.
Excellent
9.7
Pros: Comfortable, clean and great location. Some of the rooms are a bit smaller than others. Newly remodeled since changing to name to Kinzie.
Cons: Breakfast could be better. It's basically just juice, coffee and danish. They used to have toast and bagels when it was the Amalfi which I preferred. Prices have really gone up over the years. We have been staying at this location for a number of years (a few visits per year).
Excellent
10.0
Pros: We were very happy with the Kinzie Hotel. The location was very convenient for the Oriental Theater, as well as for dinner locations afterward. We appreciated the continental breakfast provided on each floor. We found the room very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We especially appreciated the friendly staff and we look forward to staying here again.
Excellent
9.3
Pros: Free continental breakfast was a nice perk - served on each floor. Room was well-furnished with a window bench, nice-sized (36") TV, and USB outlets. Lobby staff gave good recommendations and directions.
Cons: USB outlets caused some issues with phones, and in-room dining is ridiculously expensive.

Pros: Nice property, good location, professional staff
Excellent
8.5
Pros: We liked how breakfast was available on every floor, the location (pretty central to our interests), the price was good and there was relatively inexpensive parking next door.
Cons: View from the room was basically an alley and parking lot, not the best view in Chicago by any means. Breakfast ends a little early. Free drinks at the "lounge" was a great surprise but the lounge itself is a bizarre little room.

6.2
Pros: Location
Cons: Not at all what I've experienced from a four star hotel. The rooms weren't very big or nice. And the attendants at the lobby were sitting down, which I found odd. I would never rate this a four star hotel, I found it akin to Aloft hotels. I also bought this room for a friend's birthday, and they said they don't do anything special for birthdays. I've stayed at 3 star hotels that send up champagne on birthdays.
Excellent
8.5
Pros: The location was great! It was trendy and clean and comfortable. Love the free continental breakfast on each floor. We also got two free drink tokens for a happy hour they host - which was a nice pre-dinner drink for us! They were also able to accommodate us last minute for an early check-in which was super helpful.
Cons: Everything was a little small (hotel room, lobby, etc). It was modern and boutique-like, but I wouldn't consider it a luxury hotel.

Pros: Enjoyed our stay at the Kinzie. Loved the continental breakfast on our floor every morning, as well as the spread provided during happy hour. Within 5 minute walk of 3 L train stations. Would definitely stay here again!!

6.0
Pros: Chicago is a beautiful city. The River Hotel couldn't have been located any better. Our view was ok nothing great because we were in the 2nd floor. The hotel staff was very nice. And the marble stair case was gorgeous. I liked that they had complimentary bottled water. That's help whenever you walking continuously around the city.
Cons: I had issues about several things that may not matter to some people but it bothered me. I asked twice for a sleeping mask and the first night they're were out said they'll get some in the next day. On the next day I asked again and they already have them out.?.? I feel they should have notated I requested one the first day and then have it ready the next. The bed linens leave something to be desired. They use a flat sheet for the bottom sheet which kept coming undone. The comforter wasn't big enough for the bed. It continuously kept falling off so in the middle of the night I had to get up and cover my wife back up. The room was for the most part clean. However I drop something and when I looked under the bed I saw individual skittles covered in dust :-/. And the restaurant... We tried to eat and drink there but the service was terrible. Took 20 mins to get menus and a water. I guess they're understaffed? But we left before ordering anything due to the service. The overal stay wasn't terrible. I would stay there again but I would never pay full price for it.
Good
6.3
Pros: The River Hotel is very conveniently located and has a nice restaurant downstairs that has a nice beverage selection and even deep dish Chicago pizza (along with a diverse selection of salads, pasta, and meat dishes). The A/C was great and the mattress was comfortable. We were able to check in an hour and a half early, which was very nice.
Cons: The room was tiny - literally the same size as many of the hotel rooms we stayed in in Japan. The toiletries and furnishings were the bare minimum - don't forget to bring the bar of soap to the shower if you want to use it there instead of at the sink! Finally, the elevator situation is terrible. Multiple times, we had to wait well over 10 minutes for an elevator to get to our room. Be sure to budget in extra time if you're on a schedule!
Good
6.0
Pros: Location is perfect. Rooms are tiny, with no wasted space and good views. Lobby non-existent, but 2nd floor desk/relax space makes up for that.
Cons: They have no lot, no arrangement with a local lot, and only one valet on staff as best I could tell. This guy would disappear for up to 20-30 min, or flat out say it will be 20+ min before I can get your car. All that, for $55 per trip. Don't drive, or plan to find a distant garage if you want to pay less than $50-70 per night parking. Atop the valet-delay, they only had one elevator servicing floors 11-30s, and every trip up or down took at least 10 min of waiting (don't leave anything behind!) and every trip in the elevator was packed body to body.
Excellent

Pros: Incredible views of the river and downtown. Walking distance to Navy Pier, Willis Tower and lots of other great restaurants and fun places.

Pros: The staff were so helpful and friendly. They took really good care of us. I would definitely stay here again.
Okay
5.1
Pros: Clean(when you can get them to clean the room), friendly staff(except when it comes to parking), mini-bar and snacks very reasonably priced with full bottles of wine as options, very cool and trendy night club on the roof, great location,
Cons: - no room service - no movie purchase options - by 4-5pm I had to ask ever day to have room cleaned - Valet parking is $50 per night but if u walk to the lot they park your car at they only charge $30. Plus, all surrounding lots, less than a block away, charge between $25-30. When I brought up how they are overcharging for parking I was told to download an app and search for cheaper parking in the area....what service.....- shower had a glass wall that overlooked the room so anyone in your room can see you in the shower or on the toilet. there is a curtain but it barely covers the glass and it's on the room side meaning the person in the shower doesn't control the curtain. - shower glass wall leaked into the room. The carpet between the bed and the shower was soaked for my entire stay
Located in The Loop, this eco-friendly hotel is steps away from Chicago Riverwalk and Michigan Avenue Bridge. Grant Park and Chicago Theatre are also within 10 minutes. State Station is 9 minutes by foot and Randolph-Wabash Station is 9 minutes.

Pros: Had a great experience overall. The staff at the front desk, restaurant and main door were all very attentive and courteous. My room was very quiet as requested it. It was located on the 15th floor and it was impeccable. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to check out and enjoy the gym and the lounge on the 4th floor. I was very pleased and would highly recommend anyone to stay at the Godfrey Hotel.
Okay
5.4
Pros: Location and amenities
Cons: Room was either directly above or below the in house nightclub. I may as well gone to the club, because that's how loud it was until 2AM. Upon calling front desk the only alternative was an offer of earplugs.
Excellent

Pros: Great location and staff. Feels like a high class hotel.

Pros: The staff was pleasant at check in and breakfast. The room was comfortable and well appointed. I appreciated the full size hair dryer which I'm finding to be a luxury lately.
Cons: The bar was a very young hip LOUD crowd. My group felt very out of place trying to get a drink there with some coworkers and we had to leave early because of it. Coming back to the hotel after dinner there was a wait to get on the elevator between all the loud groups going up to the bar.

Pros: Great service, BCBG, not expensive and they have a great bar on the 4th.
Cons: They don't have recycle bins in rooms... Euhhhh... #2015
Excellent
9.1
Pros: Exactly the amenity level that you want to pay for. Great, though not extensive, onsite amenities (gym, spa), and a GREAT restaurant/bar. I was passing through on business for one night and I had a couple of small plates and was really amazed. I'd definitely come back just to eat here, but the room was clean and well appointed too.
Cons: At 44, I have to try pretty damn hard to be hip enough to chill at the ultra-cool bar at this place. I leave it to others to judge whether I was successful or not.
Excellent

Pros: I have heard there is some noise Weds to Saturday late nights but I was there on a Monday night. I guess there is a nightclub. That still probably wouldn't bother me. It's a really nice hotel and if you are going for a night out in the city this is a perfect place.

9.1
Pros: The hotel was very clean and in a good location
Cons: They need better security. I stayed in a four person dorm and one of the guys in the dorm brought his girlfriend over to sleep in his top bunk bed so there was five people in the room. Then they started having sex while I was getting ready to sleep. I quickly got up and left the room for like 20 mins hoping that when I got back they would be done but they were still going at it and in fact was getting louder, so loud I could hear them from outside the room. I got annoyed because it was like 11pm and I had to get up really early the next day so I just went in the room, got my bags and went down stairs and asked the front desk to switch rooms. They were really nice and quickly changed me to a different dorm. The rest of my stay was really nice.

Pros: Staff was sympathetic and helpful. The location and both the restaurant and cafe in the lobby were awesome.
Cons: They were having a lot of maintenance issues during our stay. Pipes broke in the rooms next to us so the fire escape doors were open. Our heating/cooling system didn't work in our room and the best they could do was give us a fan and some drink tickets. The icing on the cake was being harassed by two bros in the elevator.

Excellent
8.0
Pros: Great location - within walking distance of many attractions, like The House of Blue, Chicago Riverwalk, Magnificent Mile, and eateries. Also conveniently located for public transportation - within one block of the "L" System and close to many bus lines. Trendy - not your conventional décor. The tiles in the shower set it apart from molded walls in many hotels. Argan line of toiletries provided. Fitness Center - small but adequately equipped. Activities - we took advantage of the architectural tour which was informative. There were other interesting activities we would have joined but we didn't have the time.
Cons: Our room was tight. The queen bed pretty much took up the whole space. Not a lot of surface on which to put things. Small closet had only two hangers. My husband did not find the bed comfortable - the mattress was relatively thin and on a platform (instead of box spring).

Pros: I will be a Fairmont customer for life. Anytime I am to stay in a hotel, I will be looking to see if there is a Fairmont location available. The staff is always accommodating and VERY polite. I cannot praise them enough. Even the representatives on the phone were extremely helpful. I thank those that assisted in my experience with the most sincere gratitude I can express.
Cons: I cannot say anything unkind about this hotel. I notice that some reviewers have stated things like the ceiling is water-stained and there's some damage to this or that. Honestly, I just told the service desk about there being a slight water stain on the ceiling in the bathroom. Other than that I didn't have any issues, and this is my second time staying at this hotel. Really though, are you staying in a hotel because you want the entire room to look brand new? Please redirect yourself to a room in another hotel that costs around 3 times the price of what the Fairmont's rates are. I assure you, for the price offered for the rooms in this hotel, you will not find a better experience.

Worst buffet for the money ever. #2. No snacks on floors and $5 for 20 Pringles potato chips. No snack food in area especially late night. Room service slow and speedy. #3. $70 for parking. No validation or discount for hotel customers, across the street its $35 also borderline insulting

Cons: No free WiFi in rooms. In order to use free WiFi, you had to go to the lobby. Pricey stay for no internet access in room.

This was a huge disappointment for a 4-star hotel. The only positives were location and friendly staff. The hotel itself is not better than a Best Western (maybe worse). Our room had broken lights and tiles but at least was clean. We had requested a king bed for our 10th anniversary and were given 2 tiny double beds that were very uncomfortable. The decor was outdated. We asked to switch rooms but were told they were full. People refused to comply with the mask mandate and were not stopped. Others were having BYOB parties in the lobby. It honestly was far from the experience I had been hoping from and I will not be returning.

Pros: I don't recomend for people who go in a group of people!
Cons: I went there with 3 more friends. They gave us a room with only 1 bed. CAN YOU SLEEP 4 people in 1 bed? Or do you prefer to sleep in a couch? That's what they said; "sorry, but that's what is available" WHO PAYS A DAMN EXPENSIVE ROOM TO SLEEP IN A COUCH?

Pros: We went for St. Paddy's so we weren't in the room much and really didn't care about the broken phones and TV, but for a nice hotel, that seems less than what was expected. That being said, I would stay again.

Pros: I honestly felt like I stole from them for getting my room that cheap! It's a truly 5 star place it's close to everything you could want to do downtown! The staff is very friendly and amazing! The rooms are very nice and pretty big!

Pros: I chose Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park because of its location and good reputation. After my stay at the hotel I am glad that I made a right choice. When I was checking into the hotel there was some confusion about my reservation. I reserved two rooms but the hotel reservation system showed only one room under my name. After I presented my two hotel reservation vouchers and email communication the front desk manager quickly gave me two rooms without unnecessary delay (the room types were exactly what I requested when I made my reservation). The hotel front desk manager and staff were very courteous while they were trying to sort it out. I and my family had a great stay there. It's location and free room wi-fi connection were excellent.

Pros: I loved the service, they were speedy and polite. Food was amazing, expensive but very food. Hotel over all was beautiful and clean. I felt more comfortable at this hotel than any other hotel I've ever stayed in and that says a lot coming from a germ a phob.
Located in The Loop, this hotel is steps away from Columbia College Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Photography and Auditorium Building and Theatre. Fine Arts Building and Buckingham Fountain are also within 5 minutes. Harrison Station and Chicago Van Buren Street Station are within a 5-minute walk.

Pros: That the hotel had a price that wasn't much more than the price I thought I had using Kayak
Cons: The hotel didn't have my reservation. I called Orbits. They said I had been notified. I didn't think I had been. I couldn't find the email they referenced. I also got an email from Kayak confirming my stay the day before so I wouldn't have even thought to look for a cancellation email. My wife and kids were waiting in the car for a long time. The kids were crabby. Orbits was not helpful. They said there was nothing they could do. They gave me an email address to contact with my concerns. I was in the middle of Chicago without access to a computer.

Pros: Location! Comfortable rooms. Rooftop bar is a nice place to hang out (aside from pricey drinks).
Cons: Small elevator. The bathroom layout was weird, the shower stall was only half covered by glass, and the other half completely open. This combined with the shower head placement meant that the bathroom was completely soaked after anyone showered.

Pros: Location is nice as it's just off of Michigan Ave..Beds are comfortable.. Great that Glazed and Infused is in the lobby....some rooms have nice views...We found it charming on the first visit....
Cons: This was our second visit...and things seemed to have slipped a bit. No early check-in available( 3 couples ahead of asked and were told no as well)...reserved a double room, was first given a SMALL king...corrected the error, but not happily ...only 2 bath towels... rooms getting a bit worn...Worst of all, The Drum Bar ( which we were looking forward to spending time a money in) had NO air-conditioning and no DJ( as promised)... disgruntled employees couldn't have moved slower... sadly, will not stay here again.
Excellent
8.2
Pros: The location was excellent! The property was clean and the lobby renovated and nice. The Windows opened which was great because the room got very hot at night. The bed was comfortable and the rooms were modern and recently renovated
Cons: The room was incredibly small; the building only has one heating system and my room remained hot, so I was unable to adjust the temperature, which made sleeping extremely uncomfortable; there are no tubs, only showers; I had to walk up 3 flights of stairs to find a working ice machine; and the elevators are tiny and very slow. Also, the outer room door needs to be repainted

Pros: Hotel was clean and staff was exceptionally friendly. Doorman was extremely helpful. Donut shop downstairs was delicious and convenient. The location was decent if you're willing to walk about a mile to anything you'd like to see.

Cons: When we got there they said they were sold out and gave us a room with one bed for 3 people...they upgraded us to a suite but still only one bed and one of us had to sleep on horrible sofa bed. Then the battery in the security system of the door died so we had to ask for master key to get in and out of our room! They fixed it the next day but we were leaving anyway. We won't stay there again!!!! Bellman were very sweet! Dwayne is awesome!

Pros: large bathroom, lots of hot water, good water pressure, lots of towels (just me in a double), adequate counter space room was clean, quiet, comfortable bed, slept well :-) housekeeping did a terrific job staff was friendly and helpful basically it was hit and miss as there were some who just wanted you to go away and leave them alone!
Cons: dim lighting, could have been brighter or had more lights no complementary bottled water stain on carpet, wall patch work done in bathroom; neither of these bothered me but may for someone else staff was useless basically it was hit and miss as there were some who had a positive attitude and would go out of their way to help you!

Cons: This is a Kayak review- not a hotel review. I booked my travel a week in advance and with 2 days notice I received a call that I no longer had a reservation and there was nothing that could be done. It left me scrambling to find a room and I had to pay 40% more than expected because I never really had a reservation. Will never use Kayak again.

Pros: Great location with a nice hotel design. The drum bar and the bakery were nice perks.
