Wow....here we go....I don't usually write a bad review unless it is an extremely unacceptable experience. Besides the fact that this place is dingy and old, the customer service is about the worst I've seen ( and I travel a lot) I've stayed in many crappy sub par nasty places for work, and they all have better customer service than...

Service was excellent. The rooms were good, but unfortunately were not maintained to the impeccable standards they used to be. Furniture was showing its age, and the bottom panel had come detached from the dresser. The bathtub drain was broken, and the bath faucet was cracked and clearly should have been replaced a long time ago. Also, surprisingly few outlets... More

The Standard Club is truly a Chicago Treasure. It is centrally located in the Chicago Loop with easy access to Michigan Ave. The staff and service are superb, helpful and courteous. The Health Facilities are excellent. The main dining room in ornate and beatiful and the food is excellent. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the hallways are quiet.

Part functioning private club in the loop in Chicago, part hotel, part reception space. My room had a great view of the Chicago Public Library. There is a somewhat formal... More
