I usually stay at the Hilton by Grant Park. This hotel is more expensive, north of the river, a few blocks off of Michigan Avenue. Plenty of eating options in the area. I usually pay $40 less to stay at the Hilton, and the parking is $40 at either place. Rooms are clean and quiet. Free breakfeast is a plus. more

I stayed at the Embassy Suites for 3 nights and found the Hotel excellent. The Rooms or Suites clean and a good size. The bathroom was on the average size and there wasn't an extractor fan, which was needed. The service was friendly and the concierge was first class. An Ideal location to view and explore Chicago. Included in your... more

We spent a week at this hotel while on a sightseeing trip to Chicago from the west coast. It was the perfect spot. The staff was helpful from the beginning. Richard, the concierge, gave us tips of things to see and directions for how to get around. He helped us get tickets to the House of Blues Sunday brunch- a... more

I stayed here earlier this week for business. We got a great group rate - otherwise I would not have paid close to $300 for a hotel per night. That's just me. ALL of my telephone conversations with the hotel were FANTASTIC. I called a couple of days prior to make some special requests, including an early check in. When... more

From the moment we walked in the door....no, from the moment we approached the parking entrance and a passing employee stopped to offer instruction for parking and good wishes for our stay, the service in this hotel was first rate. I admit it....I'm a bit of a hotel pig. This hotel did NOT leave me wanting. From the fabulous free... more

if you're loaded and looking to spend your cash on a hotel, this would be the place to go. don't get me wrong, the hotel is beautiful and located on State Street in downtown Chicago, but honestly, $300 a night is a bit too much for me. And parking within the hotel is an additional $44 per day. The lobby... more

This hotel is one well oiled machine. While we were there, the place seemed to be at 100% occupancy. There was a large family reunion, a large wedding in the ballroom and party afterwards in the atrium. All the while, in another area, cranking out cocktails effortlessly for the usual manager's reception. The staff was courteous yet unobtrusive and quick... more

My kids and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. I called a few days before arriving, and requested early check in if possible. I was told that a room should be ready for us between 11am and noon. We arrived at 12:15pm on a Friday, waited about 10 minutes for a front desk person to be available to help... more
