“A wonderful hotel in Chicago”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

We just had a wonderful stay at the Courtyard Chicago Downtown/ Magnificent Mile (made our choice based on the fantastic reviews we read here and in other websites). The location is top- notch. Even though we only spent two nights over there, we were absolutely happy with the service; the people could not have been nicer, always greeted us with a smile and had the best service attitude. Every single person from the hotel staff is truly committed with providing the best service!

The rooms are great, spacious and comfortable. We got a 2-full bed double bedroom with crisp linens and cozy pillows. I'd only wish they offered an in-room safe and mini fridge.
It was awesome to find that they offer free wi-fi connection throughout the hotel and we also printed our boarding passes at the business center in a breeze. There's a Starbucks cafe inside the hotel premises.

We want to thank the hotel staff for making our stay so pleasant. We'll go back for sure!

Room Tip: Ask for 2 double beds in your bedroom.

“Nice spot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

This hotel feels new and the staff is very nice. I love the lobby with the fireplace and the hotel is within walking distance of some great places to eat/shop. The room was nice and the bed very comfortable.

Nice option.

“Lovely hotel, exemplary staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

Stayed here for four nights on business. My room was a single, but very roomy, very clean with pleasant decor. The bed was very comfortable. Housekeeping did an excellent job - I always came back to a neat, clean room. Every single staff person I had interaction with was extremely friendly and helpful. They were quick to help with suggestions for dining and directions. The in-house restaurant, Viand, had excellent food. Would definitely recommend this place to others. My only caution is that it is located very close to Northwestern Hospital, so if the sound of sirens is an issue, bring earplugs.

Thank you for choosing the Courtyard by Marriott as your accommodation for four nights on business. Four nights away from home is really hard; we are so happy you found our rooms comfortable, clean, spacious, and pleasantly decorated. We work hard to meet guest’s expectations; we thank you for your kind comments about our staff. Viand has redesigned their menu so it is great to hear your feedback on how much you enjoyed your experience. You are right we are located in the heart of the city and very close to Northwestern; however, we have rooms that face all directions on the block and we have up to twenty four floors, high enough to mute out any noise. We apologize this was an inconvenience during your stay. It is important to us that you receive full service during your stay and please do let our front office staff know that you prefer a quiet and high floor so next time we can accommodate to your preference. We hope to see you again soon!

“Excellent choice close to everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We booked this hotel several months in advance for Friday night, October 19, 2012. The room price dropped a couple times before our arrival date, and when I called, the price was adjusted each time. The hotel is very clean, the queen beds were comfortable, location is convenient to most places, and the staff is very friendly. We were granted early check-in, immediately brought extra pillows and towels, and a small refrigerator (no charge). Highly recommend when a hotel is needed in downtown Chicago!

“Excellent location, great service and a comfortable room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They accomodated my early check in and late check out requests with no problem. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. I loved all the pillows that were provided. The location near Water Tower, Michigan Ave shopping and the Lurie Children's hospital made it easy to find whatever you wanted to enjoy.
