Northwest Side Golf Vacations

Keep an eye that nothing is added from the minibar but great property and can't wait to stay again!

Having stayed in the lovely Swissotel Bosphorus/Istanbul, I was hesitant to compare Swissotel experience & hope Chicago would be as good. No. Not even close. The elevated Swissotel brand is not represented here well in this building at all. The valet is $87! Self park is $70 and the self park area doesn’t even have an elevator up to the lobby, you have to walk through a dark, confusing, and claustrophobic garage to stairs then to elevator. Staff were tactful & kind, it’s just the building is old, needs renovation, & the room air is stuffy. A positive bright light was the stunning view from the gym and the lobby ambience & smell.

Very nice and clean hotel. Wonderful break fast buffet with good selection of food.

The rooms were very clean!

We’ve stayed at some really nice hotels so keeping that in mind, we had high expectations for this being our first Ritz Carlton stay and it just fell really flat. The front desk staff were nice enough but nothing overly warm or anything that separated it from any other hotel. The room was clean but again pretty average. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows which are down or down alternative had such a low fill power, they were just awful. The most disappointing part of the stay was by far the room service. Our bill totaled nearly $300 which we’re happy to spend if it’s good but the chicken wings which are advertised as “crispy” couldn’t have been further from —extremely rubbery. My husband described his waygu steak “like eating a car tire” (never experienced waygu that bad before.) The cocktail sauce for the shrimp cocktail had zero horseradish. Just a very odd experience overall and it was enough to not order room service again for the remainder of our stay. The spa was also very …average. My husband said his massage was actually pretty good but mine was nothing at all out of the ordinary… probably one of the lowest ranking I’ve received honestly. The staff at the spa desk and in the locker room though were probably the best part of our whole experience — very friendly, helpful and accommodating. All in all, it wasn’t a terrible stay here but it wasn’t great either. Location is solid but I’d save some money and stay elsewhere to get better food and pillows.

The property was amazing . My wife and I had an amazing time. Highly recommend for anyone staying in Chicago . Lots of places to go to for nightlife , right around the corner . 10/10!! We can’t wait to go back !
