    I think it’s horrible that they enforce a $25 charge to use the microwave!

    The bar restaurant closed early since they said it was not busy. The safe in the room did not work (low battery) . I arranged a time for them to come into the room to fix it, and they never showed up. There was a nice chaise in the room, but without a light or table nearby, it was not really functional.

    Nice location.

    You pay a lot for a hotel this nice, so it's not cheap.

    The staff was excellent—friendly and helpful. The location is ideal, walkable to a lot of great sites in the city. The bar in the lobby is a lot of fun for having a drink or just hanging out. I loved the room.

    Stunning Hotel lobby .. Take care when choosing a room.

    Our room was modern and clean and the bed itself was comfortable. The bathroom was modern and very very spacious ( possibly it was an accessible bathroom). However there were a few problems with the room we had in our opinion.. A) There were no coffee making facilities in the room itself ( .. a machine could be ordered I presume at a fee ) . B) The room was absolutely huge with a wall of built in shelving units (all bare so it felt totally spartan and lifeless and just needed an extra design touch here and there to make it more welcoming C) We were on one of the top floors facing the inner “courtyard” (as we had forgotten to ask for a street facing view) but the issue was the noise … mechanical noise all night …possibly coming from the services on the roof… at first we thought it was the room’s AC but even when this was fully off the noise was off putting and definitely effected sleep. We would choose our room carefully were we to stay again.

    The ground floor and first floor of the Hotel are exceptionally decorated… A real pleasure to experience.. We were staying for a wedding and the atmosphere was fantastic.

    In mid June ( ! ) the temperature in Chicago was bitterly cold. This was reflected in the hotel room, the air-conditioning causing an uncomfortable chill, despite my trying to adjust the dial.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel provided all the amenities one would expect for the price.

    Room supposedly had breakfast included, but when we arrived, that wasn't the case. That said, the breakfast we did purchase in the hotel restaurant was very good.

    Location was great; we came in via Amtrak, so it was really convenient, additionally, close to a brown line metro station. Room was very small, but comfortable and clean.

    Good service, bad conflict between Booking and W, hurting customer.

    The booking.com conflicts with W, which makes breakfast a bad exprience at the end: It took us more than 30 minutes waiting the hotel to make sure our breakfast is paid when booking Why can't they just let us go and check the breakfast later after I provided enough info? Meanwhile, the manager didn't provide any discount or appology for that...

    The bed is clean, and W listen my requirement, arrange a high-floor room, 20L is very good! The room service is fast and professional, I like the in time bottle water and towel.

    The bathroom was HUGE - but empty.. Really could've used a ledge or a small table next to the toilet. (somewhere to put my phone down during toilet-paper time). The head/shade on the desk lamp was ridiculously sticky for some reason. And the mini-fridge had dried-up spills in it. Also, took a long time to call an elevator - even with 4 main cars, and a service car running.

    The bed was perfect! Super soft sheets, non-spring mattress. I slept so well. The decor and room arrangement was very appealing!

    That you couldn’t control the air conditioning like it went on and off and I couldn’t even get comfortable that there was no drawers to put your clothes in like not one single drawer to unpack just a closet that’s ridiculous

    I like the location and the lobby bar I did not like that you have to pay for Wi-Fi that’s absolutely ridiculous I’ve never even heard of that in a hotel you’re paying so much money to stay there and they don’t even have Wi-Fi at will never see them again for that reason
