“Fun and Funky Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We really enjoyed our stay at The Acme. The room had a nice city view and modern industrial decor. The place was super clean, the staff attentive and the location - perfect! We would definitely stay again!

“a very pleasant surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

A great hotel right in the middle of downtown, super service, a thermos of coffee by your room when you wake up, good breakfast. Very cool looking with a young modern look. Price is excellent and the hotel quality is far above it's price: hence the great surprise

Hello pmb55,

We LOVE giving great surprises, so we're delighted to read your review. Starting in early December, we will be beginning our Knock and Drop Breakfast delivery which will replace the temporary free breakfast in the lobby. We’d love to have you come back and give that a try! Thanks for choosing the ACME Hotel!

Hello rong198,

Thanks for staying with us during your visit to Chicago. Our temporary breakfast and coffee delivery service make the difficult task of getting out of bed a little easier. On your next trip, look for our Knock and Drop Breakfast service which is starting in early December for a very reasonable cost. Look forward to seeing you in the future!

“Fabulous hotel with a cool vibe.....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

The Acme Hotel Company succeeded in providing a very memorable stay for us in Chicago. The smartly executed blend of modern, well-planned amenities and vintage-flavoured décor created a super-comfortable experience, right in the heart of the city.

The staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating, going far beyond the call of duty from the moment we arrived at the front door to the time we (sadly) had to leave.

The morning "knock-and-drop" delivery of Morning Joe (kept piping hot in a sleek thermos) and daily complimentary breakfast (terrific array of choices!) started each day in fine style. Someone clearly spent time determining what tasty and fresh items would appeal to the hotel visitors. Coffee and tea were available 24 hours a day in the lobby too -- much appreciated!

Our room was fantastic! We opted for a suite to allow additional living space, and would most definitely go this route again. The hardwood floors were a welcome change from the usual over-trod (and often suspicious) carpeting in other hotels. No mundane, non-descript framed prints hung on the walls here -- instead, we were treated to boldly painted pop-art images adorning the space! The washroom featured a big sink mounted atop a granite counter, and the huge rainfall shower head and thick, thirsty towels were wonderful. Oh yes -- we loved the blackboard on the room doors. Such a great way to leave/receive messages!

On the lower level, there is a well-equipped fitness area (even a heavy bag!) contained in a schoolyard-like setting, complete with chain-link fence -- how funky! A sparkling hot tub and cedar-lined sauna round out the options for anyone looking for fitness options.

The cleanliness of the hotel surpassed anything we have experienced to date. The smiling staff were always busy polishing, scrubbing, and buffing every corner of the hotel -- and they never hesitated to greet us with a warm hello whenever we saw them.

Never before have we stayed at a hotel that didn't have at least one detail or service needing improvement. The Acme Hotel Company left no detail untended, and prompted us to randomly exclaim, "Man, I love this place!" on a daily basis -- no word of a lie!

P.S. A special shout-out to Carl, Acme's bighearted and attentive concierge/porter, who continually wowed us with his kind and helpful ways. He's a keeper!

Room Tip: Choose a suite, if you can -- provides more space and a guaranteed city view.

Hi Dianne M,

WOW! Thanks for the review, it was a pleasure to read! We were sad you had to leave as well. Coming in December, our ‘Morning Joe’ coffee delivery service will be expanded. The same great service you received will now include, wait for it…BREAKFAST! We’ll have some delicious options to choose from and deliver to your room. Our suites are a great way to spend your time in Chicago. With a living room area equipped with a sink, mini-fridge and microwave, you may decide to stay in! The suites include a Zeppelin sound system and not one, but two 46’ LED TV’s that are ready to stream from your Apple device or laptop. Cleanliness is important in day-to-day life, so here at the ACME it’s no surprise that we focus on having everything presentable. Karl is a great part of our staff and he really does appreciate your shout-out. We do appreciate your words of praise, it makes doing our job that much more enjoyable! Thanks for choosing the ACME Hotel Company!

“Hipster hotel in a terrific neighborhood”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

What was once obviously an old hotel is seeing new life as a cool, hip, boutique hotel. The rooms are appointed with funky furnishings - no closet and a big red lip nightlight built in to the bathroom mirror. There is no coffee maker in the room, rather it is delivered in a thermos stapled inside a brown paper bag. That said, the coffee is good -- strong and hot. And the room is comfortable. Breakfast, served in the lobby, includes a nice assortment of breads, scones, hard boiled eggs, fruit and yogurt. The service is top notch. We asked the front desk to move us when we realized we were located next to a bachelorette party. They did so without hesitation. We had no issues with noise thereafter. All in all, our experience was positive. With the deal we got on parking, the level of service, the fun room and fhe decent breakfast, this place was a value.

Hello mji2003,

Thanks for choosing the ACME Hotel. We’re glad we could impress you! Our breakfast will still be delicious, but starting in December we will have a “Knock and Drop” breakfast service, similar to our Morning Joe coffee. Just another one of the services we provide to make your stay more enjoyable! Thanks for your comments about our service, as it is very important to us. Look forward to seeing you in the future!
