Sonesta ES Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile - Medical

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location."

The Whitehall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"I stay here all the time when I come to town. I walked into the room and I had to call down to the front desk twice within 15 minutes. There were no towels to shower, and the TV didn't work. They immediately came up and serviced my room. When the maintenance guy was in my room, I also had him change the light bulb on the makeup mirror. When I got in that night, I realized that the standing lamp's bulb was out and that's why it was so dark in my room. Again someone came up and replaced the bulb. The next day when I went to take a shower, the dial to turn on the heat lamp over the shower was broken. It would just spin and spin and spin. I reported it but that never got taken care of. On the last day I was down to only a few squares of toilet paper. I looked around. There wasn't another fresh roll anywhere. These were all minor things. I would still stay there again. The maintenance and staff workers apologized and were helpful."

Eurostars Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal stay as this place is in the middle of everything so it was a great blind pick. So being in the center of everything means you will hear ambulances like crazy however, you can walk to many places easily. The hotel itself is nice and well kept up in common areas. Not all rooms are as kept up/maintained- other than changing sheets and replacing towels, as they should be. Kept up meaning, touching up extreme nicks and natural wear n tear that occurs when hundreds of people are in and out constantly. Keeping things maintained and fresh seems ideal as this is what is advertised online so it is expected. The issue with my room was quickly rectified by a male staffer at the front desk. He was quick and extremely efficient in handling my situation. I appreciated the fantastic customer service. I did not use room service but there’s a fantastic restaurant as you enter the hotel. Very nice."

"Why book here? LOCATION and competitive price. Why not? If you care about hospitality. This isn't going to be the place. Some of the front desk staff were impatient and border line dismissive. No decaf, despite a sign saying it was available. Just plan to go to Starbucks about a block away for coffee of any quality. Check in evening staff, told us breakfast would be served (Marriott member) and then we weren't given the magic card. Morning staff said we didn't qualify and we got the signal NOT to bother them with unreasonable questions. Our room was next to elevator and I was glad I had my ear plugs. No coffee in rooms. Weird kinda sensual picture of red lips predominant art in room... not family friendly or sensitive to women's modern issues. Views of lake were great! Easy walking location to see Lake Shore Drive and Many other great attractions. LOVED the beach and lake. It is amazingly clear water. Just have realistic expectations that this is a place to sleep and the staff may not care or are burned out. Great service oriented humans are expensive. You're not paying for that here."
