The bathroom grout was dirty. There were water stains on the wall. I asked for axhigher floor so my grandson could have a great experience. What I got was 6th floor with a view if a brick wall. I was told we don't honor requests. I would never have stayed there at 300.00a night if I had known that. The location was great. Close to Michigan Avenue not on it.

We tried to check in early but couldn’t because the room had not been cleaned. However, we were told we would be upgraded for free to a suite. In the end we were not. We stayed here during a very busy weekend in Chicago. So room rates had been more than doubled compared to normal. $400+ per night vs ~$200 for a single room, very small, with stained carpet., TV and a minute refrigerator.
Also the hotel had no restaurant nor breakfast facilities but did have a decent coffee maker. Very little counter space in bathroom. Great flushing toilet. Very helpful maid service.

The room we stayed at was very small and narrow. The night stands were tiny and the sink didn’t have enough space to put your toiletries on. The bed was old but the room was clean and smelled clean. Valet parking was $69/day, we had to use a nearby parking lot for $40. This hotel is 100 years old but very well made. I was impressed with the crown moldings and the smooth ceilings and walls, excellent craftsmanship. I love the location and convenience to shopping and restaurants.

was genuinely excited for my mini trip to Chicago, and this hotel looked promising based on the reviews. The location is excellent, and I’ll give credit where it’s due the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Unfortunately, everything changed once I walked into the room. I honestly couldn’t believe it. The room was extremely small, and my “view” consisted of nothing but exposed pipes. The bathroom was even more disappointing. It had prison-style shower heads, public restroom-style toilets, and a shower curtain. While everything appeared clean, it felt incredibly outdated and far from what I’d expect from a 4-star hotel.

Based on my experience, I don’t understand how this property has such high ratings. It honestly makes me question the authenticity of some of the reviews. If this is considered a 4-star hotel, then expectations have really fallen.

The location and staff deserve praise, but the room itself was a huge letdown, and I would not stay here again.

The room, specifically the bathroom was rather small. The toilet looked like a commercial toilet and faced the shower. There was one small shelf to place your toiletry items, but no vanity to store or place other toiletry items. It was barely enough room for 2 toothbrushes and a tube of toothpaste. The sleeping area was rather cramped and was very tight to move around the beds, the desk and task chair. I realize it's an older hotel, but rather than squeezing a bunch of small rooms in the hotel, maybe reduce the number of rooms to allow slightly bigger rooms.

We had a great stay for one night. The location is excellent, right on the main shopping street and within easy walking distance of lots of shops and attractions.

The hotel offers reasonably priced luggage storage, which was really convenient, and we were able to check in early for an additional fee, which was worth it after travelling. There’s also a good café in the hotel, perfect for grabbing breakfast or a coffee.

The room was a little small and slightly dated, but it was clean, comfortable, and perfectly adequate for what we needed for a one-night stay. Overall, we’d definitely stay here again for the location and convenience.

It may have been my oversight, but be aware that you need to specifically request that your room be cleaned. My wife and I do not recall being told this when checking in. And the cleaner knocked on our door before we went out. So, we assumed they would return to clean. We returned from a day out to find the room untouched and had to request clean towels. Other than this, the hotel is a good value and I would recommend it.

After staying at the Warwick in Manhattan, NYC this location is disappointing. The elevators were slow and some were down needing repairs. The cafe was poorly run and is microwave warmed up food. There is no restaurant onsite as advertised. The rooms are very small unless you get an Executive room, but it's still small when you compared to the average size of most hotel rooms. The location of this hotel is great. You are in walking distance to many shops and restaurants and attractions.

I stayed in a double queen room and was honestly disappointed with the experience. The room had no real view, just a direct look into another building, so don’t expect any kind of city scenery. The layout also felt very cramped; the beds are placed so close to the wall that getting to the second bed requires squeezing through.

For the price, the amenities were lacking. There was no microwave or refrigerator in the room, which is something I would expect at this rate. Additionally, the on site restaurant isn’t even open on Sundays or Mondays, which was inconvenient.

Overall, it didn’t feel like the stay matched what I paid. I expected a lot more in terms of comfort, space, and basic amenities.

It was fun to stay on Magnificent Mile. The property is cool and has a lot of history.
Bathroom is super small but everything was good. I do wish the rooftop dining was open on Monday- that was the only day we had but couldn't go because it was closed.
Front desk was a little uppity and not overly helpful.
Resort fee and parking were too expensive and not necessary yo be that much.
It was fun as a one time stay but will find elsewhere to stay next time.

Love the location and the history of the place. The bellhops and parking valet were just wonderful. I was put off when we asked for an early check in for our niece arriving the next day and the desk clerk found a room that was already cleaned and made the arrangement. She did n ot tell me that it would be an extra $25 which I found out when we checked our niece in. Too late!

The ice machine on our floor 22 was broken so we had to go to the 17th floor for ice. Not horrible but inconvenient.

Overall, my stay was disappointing. There was a lot of miscommunication from the beginning, and whenever we tried to get help, some of the staff came across as passive-aggressive and weren’t very helpful. It made simple questions feel like an inconvenience.

The biggest issue was the room. If you’re staying in a two-bed room, don’t expect much of a view. Ours overlooked an unattractive area, which was disappointing.

The hotel itself was okay with some plates on the floor of rooms, but the poor customer service and lack of clear communication made the experience much less enjoyable than it should have been.

I’m giving this place one star only because the location is excellent. Otherwise, I would not recommend staying here.
First, our room was supposed to be non-smoking, but it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Second, the water pressure in the bathroom was terrible—the water was barely coming out, almost drop by drop.
Finally, although the room was advertised as having a queen bed, it was squeezed between three walls with no space on one side. If the person sleeping against the wall needed to get up during the night, the only option was to climb or jump over the other person.
Overall, the room was uncomfortable, poorly maintained, and not as advertised. The great location was the only positive part of our stay.

This hotel is perfectly acceptable, and convenient for its proximity to Northwestern Hospital. The bed was not made for a great nights sleep. The TV was painfully small and the options were paltry. I've stayed in much lower cost hotels that had better options. Every Chicago hotel should be up to date in offering connectivity to streaming services. Also, the lack of conditioner and lotion in the bathroom was annoying. This was a last minute stay for medical appointments, so when I packed quickly, I expected certain amenities that were not there.

Shower was very clean. Room was quite small. The discolored carpets were not so good to look at. The quality of customer service was lacking. The multiple gentlemen at the front entrance never helped hold the doors even with me bringing in and out two big heavy bags i had to position my 7 year old in the door way each time to lean against the heavy doors to keep them open while I hauled the bags in or out. The staff just usually stared at us while we figured it out. Housekeeping ladies were great! The gentleman at the coffee shop was quite rude both times i went to buy coffee in the mornings. So the third morning i decided to make the coffee in my room. When i asked initially if the coffee was complimentary his response was \" there is a free thing of water over there ma'am\". When i proceeded to pour myself a cup of coffee he immediately begun hounding me about payment i had to tell him 3 times that i would pay as soon as i was done making my cup. Front desk staff also had an air of dismissiveness.

Okay stay at best. Not worth the price tag nor the “4 star hotel” name. Luggage storage pre or post checkout was $2 a piece (it’s free everywhere else, just tip the employee), elevators were small and dingy (yes it’s an old building, but come on, update those), rooms were dark and damp, and wifi only worked in our room if we sat on the floor near the bathroom. It’s a place to stay on the mag mile, but book elsewhere if you can. Not worth the price we paid.

I booked this hotel because we needed an affordable hotel for one night and the location on Michigan was ideal for what we needed. This hotel is nicely situated and probably the cheapest in the general area (especially if you have to get a room on somewhat short notice, like a month out), but while it's okay for the price be aware it's not as nice as some of the other hotels nearby. The hotel is old, which means the general rooms are quite small; the one we were in was maybe a small bedroom in overall size with a small bathroom where the shower, toilet, and sink are close together. (I have been in even smaller rooms when staying here years ago. Our room this time was also better maintained.) Again, fine if all you need is a place to sleep, and the bed was comfy. The halls are also narrow, which means you will hear people, so earplugs are a good idea, and the elevators are very narrow--big luggage might be a Tetris game. Amenities aren't wide-ranging, though there is a small \"cafe\" with grab and go items; however, a lot of bakeries, cafes, and the like are also nearby, as well as good restaurants.

Heads up that you need to take an elevator up to the second floor to check in.

Rooms were clean and well enough looked after, but the decor is showing signs of age. Place needs redecorated and possibly some rewiring.
Location is excellent, right in the heart of the city and within easy walking distance of most attractions or a train station to get you there.
Bring earplugs as the hotel is across the street from the Northwest Heart hospital and you will be kept awake by sirens as some unfortunate soul is rushed in. Double-glazing is ineffective.

My spouse and I recently spent a week at this property and felt compelled to warn future guests about its poor condition. Neglect and poor cleanliness were evident from arrival throughout the entire property.
Our room was very disappointing. Peeling wallpaper, large dark stains on carpet, poorly maintained amenities, and a mini-fridge so poorly installed the door barely opened. The ironing board cover was ripped and stained.
Most concerning was a spider infestation. We counted at least ten spiders crawling on bathroom and bedroom windows throughout the week—a recurring issue, not isolated.
The hallways reeked of stale cigarette smoke despite being marketed smoke-free. Hallway carpets were heavily stained and elevators were covered in dirt, smudges, and fingerprints, suggesting routine cleaning was infrequent or ineffective.
The fitness center was equally poor. Accessing it required climbing a dark, dingy staircase that felt like a boiler-room area. Equipment was in terrible condition with torn vinyl upholstery and broken adjustment pins on weight machines, making them unsafe to use.
These issues reflect a consistent pattern of neglect throughout the property. The hotel's condition bears no resemblance to reasonable accommodation standards. I strongly advise travelers to consider alternative lodging until substantial renovations and deep cleaning are completed.
