So, during this pandemic, we didn't actually have any breakfast or maid service. But the hotel staff, and in particular the WONDERFUL manager, were very generous with coffee, a room upgrade, and helpful suggestions about the area. The lighting the in room was very good; MUCH better than average. The location was absolutely IDEAL... right next door to our daughter and son-in-law's new apartment.
United States of AmericaThe rooms are comfortable, the bath tubs are always clean and big enough to soak in, the staff go out of their way to make you feel like family and the neighborhood doesn't get better than this. You're in a cozy hotel in the heart of everything.
United States of AmericaJuan at the front desk was amazing! he was very friendly and he was ready to help us with whatever we needed. he gave us some of his favorite food places to try and things to go see and made sure it was all within our budget! next time we’re in chicago we’ll definitely be staying at the willows hotel and we hope to see Juan again!
United States of AmericaGreat property in bustling area. Walk to the lake or to a 5 star restaurant... everything is here! Quiet and comfy, you will love it.
United States of AmericaAs a artist I m surprised with all the illustrations on the wall. Love the decor . Had mid century but modern vibe in here.
United States of AmericaIt was so quiet, The people who work there are really nice.
United States of AmericaVery close to the hospital, restaurants, shopping, GREAT quiet location...staff was AMAZING!!! Made a hard situation (hospital) 100 times better for a worried mom!!!! Can’t recommend enough!
United States of AmericaRoom was not fancy, but the old building has a nice, comfortable feel to it. Fabulous location--within walking distance of everything you want or need. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
United States of AmericaThe staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are small and the building is older, but everything is comfortable and mostly updated. It's near Broadway, Clark, and Diversey, so getting onto major streets is easy. Nearby parking garage is safe and reasonably priced. Lovely windows look out onto a residential street.
United States of AmericaHidden away on a quiet side street but near restaurants, parking garages, and mass transit. Room is small but clean and attractive. Charming lobby, charming street.
