I love staying at this Hotel. Yes the restaurant and bar cost some $$ but the whole experience is fantastic. I like the elevators, I never waited more than a couple of mins to get to around.
I love my room and had a great experience. If you are a runner, concierge upon request can give you a small pocket map with running routes from hotel. Bring sneakers! Large fitness room with pool.
Nice hotelbeautiful views no matter where you are the upgraded rooms offer an awesome view of Navy Pier as well as the river leading out to Lake Michigan. The staff was super!
Concierge is the best! Had an amazing dinner recommendation (Vermilion) and when our meal was over the waiter brought out surprise deserts.....compliments of the concierge!
Great rooms and the best bed ever. They do however nickel and dime you to death. It cost 16$ to use the pool each day. The mini bar was really expensive. All amenities should be included in the price.
Room 2603 has an amazing view of the pier. At night kickback with your favorite drink and enjoy the beauty of the lights and the lake in the background.
Check out the underground pedway connected to the hotel. Great for when it's too cold to venture out. Lots of restaurants- my fave is Hannah's Bretzel. Excellent breakfast and lunch! Affordable too.
Best, most comfortable, clean and lovely hotel beds of anywhere I've ever stayed. Even the lesser view is still lovely. New elevator system takes some getting used to.
Swissotel: where Continental Breakfast costs $27 & they invite you to purchase single cup coffee pods in the store if your room happens to need more than just 2 Keurig cups of coffee. Nickel & diming.
Second that, elevator system. Service elevators smart too. Call for elevator by telling it what floor you go to. It tells you which door to go to, and then takes you there, without button pressing.
Here's a tip: don't reinvent something that already works perfectly well such as he elevator!! It really fails when large groups of people are cramming in and not everyone pushed their number
A B-rate hotel. The lobby is nice and elevatorsfancy, but the rooms leave much to be desired. They photographwell, but there were floor stains and the furniture was beat up. Check-in was slow too.
What a difference a year makes (see May 23, 2010 below). Room was ready early and was upgraded to corner suite. Mgr sent up a tray of wine, cheese and fruit. So far it is remarkably positive.
Make sure you work out how to (a) use the tv's in the rooms and (b) turn the tv alarm OFF from previous occupants. Or that shit will wake you up at some ungodly hour!
