The location at 505 N. Michigan was prime for heading out and walking in either direction. I was disappointed in the room - the windows were dirty, a light was out in the bathroom, no bathroom exhaust fan, bathroom was not spotless. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and nice. However, the hallways and general areas were HOT - like there was no a/c. The biggest disappointment is that the website says there is a sun deck off the pool. I even called to confirm my res and request early check-in and asked abou the sun deck. When we got there we asked 2 members of the staff where the sun deck was and they both looked at us like we were nuts - because there is NO sun deck. I told the concierge they need to take it off the website - its was ONE of the main reasons we selected this property. I WOULD stay here again solely because of the location!
If you want to be in the middle of it all, this is the hotel for you!? The location is excellent and it is close to all of the attractions/museums/shopping/dining,? either by walking or catching the bus which runs directly in front of the hotel.? The staff was nice, very helpful and the appearance of the hotel was great.? The rooms were small but nicely decorated.? The only major drawbacks for me were that A:? The bathroom was nice but the wallpaper was peeling and puckered where it was obvious some repair work had been done.? This issue just made the room feel like a motel to me., B:? The location of the room? we stayed in did not allow for any natural light, so it was dark all the time and we had to use the lights during the day, C:? The air conditioning was either too warm or too cold.? However do not let these issues deter you from staying here.? It is a top notch hotel, management just needs to pay more attention to the small details!!!? Overall this hotel is a keeper and should not be missed if you are in town to explore all that Chicago has to offer.
It was a busy holiday weekend so when we had to wait through the check-in line twice, it wasn't a big surprise. We were there over an hour after check-in though. When the unfriendly eastern European girl finally found us a room (2 hours later), she somehow neglected to give the bell desk our luggage tags like she said she would. We called after an hour and they were quick to bring our bags. Next day someone neglected to leave hand towels and washcloths. Business center requires pay for any use whatsoever. In my travels, that generally happens at the cheaper places. In the end, this was somewhat typical of what I have experienced at other Intercontinentals. I will avoid them in the future. There are plenty of better options in the 200-400 range. Very mediocre in my opinion. Location is great though!
I stayed at this hotel during the "Taste of Chicago." The location was great. It was a short walk to Grant Park and the "Taste". It was also a short walk to many others sites of interest in the downtown area. The pool area was quite beautiful and you should visit it to check out the unique architecture, even if you do not plan on swimming. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. I would stay here again and would highly recommend it to anybody.
The hotel itself was not bad. The location was great and the room for the most part was good (executive suite). However, the room that I was given was on a lower floor with a terrible view (of the side street below and an alley way). With the funds I spent on the room, I expected more. One of the chairs had a tear in it which really was not a big deal. The pull out couch was not very comfortable...the mattress was very, very thin and you could feel the springs. However, the master bedroom bed was very comfortable. Overall, it was a good hotel. If I were to go to Chicago again, I would probably stay at another hotel that also offers suites and maybe better views of the city.
I stayed there 4 times in less than a year and thought I might try an upgrade 1 night. They would not accomodate me. I was a little dissappointed in that. I do and will stay again but the price is a little high especially for the valet parking when it is when you come and upon leaving you have to get your own car. for 48.00.HIGHEST in the city parking.
