I was not made aware this was a 21 and up hotel. I reserved a room for my 18 year old and when they went to check in were told they could not stay there. This hotel was over $400. I had to call the manager and reluctantly they were allowed to stay. However, the double room I had reserved and paid for had been given away to another guest apparently. I am not happy with this situation, very disappointed in the lack disclosure on this by Expedia.

Nice hotel overall. Staff was good. Lobby and restaurant looked great. But it looks like they ran out of cash to decorate the room…..weird design choices and cheap looking lamps/ art work. Almost as if the interior designer received half the budget they wanted and had to make do to complete the project. The room just felt off…

There was a ton of construction going on outside so the roads were closed directly outside of the hotel, which I understand were not the fault of the hotel, but would have been nice to know before we arrived.

Also, there were a bunch of private events while we were there, so the rooftop bar was closed and the lobby was full of people waiting in line and several elevators were roped off for guests headed up to the top levels for events. Therefore it made getting up to our room a bit challenging and we were asked to show our key card just to get into the hotel each day.

Nice hotel. Very expensive in my opinion. Very disappointed stayed here for my birthday weekend. One reason we choose this hotel was for the rooftop bar. However, we weren’t able to go due to an event. They said the next day everything would be back to normal. Which was not true the next day another private event so the whole weekend we couldn’t experience the rooftop. Also, super long lines in hallway due to the events. Took atleast 15-20 to get to the room because we had to stand in line for elevator.

Our stay at TheWit was okay for the short period of time we were there. Elevators were a bit of an issue - one was completely out of commission. Of the three elevators available, one was being used solely to transport people to the rooftop at one point which caused a massive back up for those simply trying to get to their rooms. The room itself was comfortable - the best was nice and the bathroom was good as well. Not sure if I would use this hotel when I visit again, but it isn’t a terrible choice.

I enjoyed our overnight visit at the Wit! Took a while to arrange the car valet service, by front desk check in was prompt, and we were happy with the room on 10th floor with a good view of the river. The room was spacious and comfortable, and it was very quiet on that floor, bonus! The pillows are so wonderful, we slept well! Love the location! Not far from the Art Institute, and Millennium Park, and lots of good restaurants and nearby shopping! I would stay here again, except the restaurant breakfast was heavy for me, and too expensive.

I chose this hotel because of its location and specifically booked a corner room through Hotels.com. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from the moment I arrived.

When I checked in, my room wasn’t ready, so the staff took my luggage and told me to come back in about 30 minutes while they finished preparing it. When I returned, I was informed that the hotel had oversold my room and the corner room I had reserved was no longer available. I was placed in a different room, which was frustrating since the room type was the main reason I chose this hotel.

The rooms themselves were also underwhelming for the price. The décor felt extremely outdated, with mismatched furniture and colors that made the space feel thrown together rather than thoughtfully designed.

My biggest disappointment was the rooftop. One of the primary amenities that attracted me to this hotel was the rooftop experience, but during my stay it was closed to hotel guests because it was being used for a separately ticketed event. As an out-of-town visitor, there was no way for me to know in advance that a major hotel amenity would be unavailable due to a private/promoted event.

Overall, while the location is excellent, this felt much more like a party and nightclub hotel than a comfortable destination for tourists looking to relax and enjoy the city. Between the oversold room, outdated accommodations, and limited access to amenities, I would not choose to stay here again.

I had a decent stay at the Wit but I won't be back unfortunately.
I'll start off with the positives and that was the lady that checked us in (name began with a B) and the guy who told us about Chicago (Can't remember his name, maybe Chris or lance? I'm terrible with names)
He really helped us a lot as it was our first time in Chicago.

To keep it short and to the point my complaints are:
- Room did not have a fan in bathroom, nor a microwave. Front desk told us only specific rooms came with the microwave. (spent over 1200 for only 2 nights) lots of left overs wasted.
- I picked the hotel because it had nightlife on the rooftop. I wasn't comfortable walking around Chicago to find things to do. The hotel offers so much so I figured have everything right there. When we decided to attempt to enjoy the night life, we were turned away due to the rooftop being booked and no longer open to the public? Very upsetting. Also can't use the elevator after certain time because its filled with drunk people leaving the rooftop bar. I missed my doordash order, I couldn't get to the lobby.
- After attending a concert and coming back, a guy at the front told us the rooftop wasn't available and basically wanted us to leave but we were staying there, I had to show him my roomkey. Definitely felt this happened due to our race but he was also the same race.
- not their fault but missed plenty Uber's due to construction, i wish the website had a heads up

Our first impression was not good. Staff that checked us in was not friendly at best. Same attitude for checkout. One night, the elevators were not working. No signs. When I returned to front desk, they were laughing and acted like I was an idiot for not knowing. During the 7floor hike to my room, I encountered a man urinating in the stairwell. Luckily these instances were countered by a very nice and clean room. In addition, the staff at the Rooftop bar was amazing and friendly. They should give some tips to front desk. This hotel is nice and has a great location but there are several others in the area to try.

Our room was given to someone else upon arrival. The staff stated our card had declined when in fact, it was a security check from our bank that we did clear, and should have been charged following clearance. We basically arrived and didn’t have a room anymore. I would assume this is fairly common that banks would require customers to verify a transaction in a different city, but instead of reaching out to us, the hotel gave our room to someone else and we were left having to book a different room upon arrival that did not have the amenities we needed for our 5 month old baby.

We were booked at The wit. We weren’t checking in until later (9pm) so I called around 5pm to see if they could make a note in my reservation that we were a late check in & to not give the room away. They said okay. We get to the hotel around 9 & were told that our room was no longer available & they had no other available. I still give The Wit 3 stars because they were apologetic & vouchered us to a hotel next door. So, a little disappointed, but what can you do?

Terrible service, rude staff, and empty promises from management.
I booked this hotel to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, expecting the high-quality service associated with the Hilton brand. Unfortunately, the experience was a disaster from the moment we arrived.
At check-in, a young male agent actually yelled at me simply because I asked what floor our room was on. He looked at me with complete disrespect and refused to give me his name. When I demanded to speak to a manager, he refused to call one. I then asked the agent next to him, Daniela, to call a manager, and she also flat-out refused. Having two front desk employees deny a guest access to a manager is a severe violation of basic hospitality.
I eventually managed to get a manager on the phone later that day. He apologized for his staff's unacceptable behavior and promised to \"make it right\" by personally making a reservation for us at the ROOF bar that night to celebrate the birthday.
However, his apology was completely empty. When we went up to the rooftop, the hosts had absolutely no reservation under my name. We had a highly embarrassing and frustrating moment at the door. They eventually just let us sit at the bar, completely ignoring the supposed \"special reservation\" the manager had promised.Instead of saving my girlfriend's birthday celebration, the management made it worse with lies and broken promises. The staff is rude, and the management does not follow through. I absolutely do not recommend staying here

Room was clean and spacious. Front desk staff was extremely helpful. View from room was amazing as Chicago sign and river with boats were visible. Room was corner situated.

If there were ice machines or a canteen for late night convenience it wasn't expressed. Also, if you are not a rewards member do not drink the bottled water as you will be charged. Wifi (paid) not the best, ok.

When traveling for shorter stints I will grab toiletries locally, thankfully there are convenience stores quite close as the provided soaps are very strong.

Ultimately stay was not for the hotel but for the city experience and that did not disappoint, this location is amazing. Walking, uber, and public transport to everything was A+.

Truly the only complaint is the rooftop bar. Overrated and even when not attending there is no delineation between guests and outside patrons. Just going to your room from returning from being out on the town or dinner can be frustrating to get into the hotel you are paying for without being questioned. This seems a selective though.

Overall a relatively good stay.

Came for a quick getaway for Mother's Day, and I must say the property is nice. The amenities they have are also nice, especially the gym. I was very impressed by that. The room was clean, and the toiletries they provide were of good quality. Didn't get a chance to indulge in the rooftop scene. Breakfast was nice and fresh and I truly enjoyed it. The bar was ok. I only indulged in mimosas and I must say a stronger champagne is needed. I know it wasn't the bartender, because I saw the generous pour. Things that I did not like about this hotel, is that WiFi had to be paid for, therefore, I did not bother to use, on top of that, the daily hold that they put on your card, is a bit much.
