Minooka Vacations from ￥295,024

It was a nice room. Only complaint would be air conditioning. I don’t do hot. Hate sweating. Had turned to 65 and still not really cold. Otherwise overall nice.

This newer hotel was very nice. Clean efficient rooms. Great bathroom and sizable room. Hotel bar looked very cool and roof top bar good and not too crowded. However we were told that most of the roof top tables were reserved even though we arrived right when it opened and in a slower Wednesday night. There were a handful of tables offered but mostly in the sun, not under umbrellas. Included breakfast was huge and very good. We did have to call maintenance to replace the TV remote battery - we couldn’t even turn the TV off. Hotel WiFi didn’t seem to work at all. Great neighborhood and we will definitely stay here again

The good. 1. Location.(Centrally located downtown, restaurants, museums, nightclubs, Riverwalk, magnificent mile…etc) 2. The Front test staff.(when they were present, more on that later.) 3. Cleanliness. 4. Large rooms. Needs improvement. 1. Parking. If you want to use the hotel services for valet parking, it’s going to put you out $80 a night plus tipping every time the valet retrieves or parks your car. According to Expedia, it said parking was an amenity, but mentioned nothing of the fee. Even by Chicago standards that’s crazy expensive The adjacent parking lot was $59 for 24 hours… still pricey but also cheaper. The good news is this is in a very walkable area so unless you are going outside the scope of being on foot or taking the EL, you can use the adjacent parking lot and forget about it. 2. Front desk staff. There was nobody present at checkout so it was impossible to verify the bill upon departure. We waited around for about 10 minutes along with a couple of other guests that were getting annoyed by the whole ordeal, but just a note saying they will return later. As I said earlier, the people that were there were wonderful, but having nobody there is unacceptable. The “Meh” The “Free” breakfast was a kid to something you would get at a motel six. Premade Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches under a heat lamp. The ubiquitous golden malted waffles fruit, juice, coffee, bagels, muffins, breakfast cereal. Certainly nothing spectacular but pretty boring.

My new favorite Chicago hotel! My room was beautiful, with a view of the river and Corn Cob buildings. I love the window seats- I could have watched the boats go by all night long. Amenities like a coffee maker with real coffee mugs and glass glasses in the bathroom, as well as a hydrating face mask, are really nice touches. Location is amazing as well, right on the border of the Loop and River North.

Beautiful. Old charm elegance. Very friendly staff, nice amenities. Convenient coffee, light food, gar, restaurant on site. Good location to leave car parked and walk everywhere. Safe area.
