“Service couldn't be worse....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2012

Front desk called our room at 1am to tell us that fire alarm needed to be serviced. No one ever showed up. At 1:30am I called front desk and was told it was handled remotely?! The day before maintenance was called to fix fire alarm - no one ever came until fire alarm started going off in room. Dennis at front desk couldn't have been more of a snot when consulted regarding parking. Asked to speak to manager and manager said "well you're getting a good room rate." I guess that means the service is acceptably poor since we got a good rate.

“Outdated decor with excellent service.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 19, 2012

I am a member and I go to this club when I'm in town on business trips quite frequently. I go there because its nice to get the type of service they provide and the quality food they serve. The building is extremely stuffy with its lack of outdoor views and fresh air. The dress codes at times can be annoying, but I know that going in so I can't complain.

The club is filled with antiques, historic items and local lore. Its a mecca for professionals who want to impress clients with a tasteful environment. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms small but stylish and the latest technology is available in each room. There has been considerable effort made to keep up with the times.

If you like to read, there is a onsight 5 star library with old and recent reading materials of all kinds. Newspapers, magazines, novels, children books, etc.

Room Tip: request a room away from the elevators. You can hear it grinding up and down through the walls.

“Stuffy atmosphere but great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 1, 2012

I have stayed here several times on business. I have found all of the staff very helpful and attentive. The rooms are okay but with very small bathrooms. Good location and comfy beds. Free wi-fi is a nice touch.

“Room was unimpressive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2012

This is a classic old club, complete with the weekdays dress code (no denim!). The meeting and dining rooms were exquisite but our bedroom was a bit on the not-updated side.

“Just right”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2012

A haven away from the snowy cold windy conditions. Hotel was lovely as was the bar, rooms breakfast area and gym, sauna fitness centre. Some useful hints: check the dress code, Business dress below the 10th floor and bar (no jeans) other than that a beautiful hotel and don't forget to check out the Monet hanging on the 2nd floor near the staircase

Room: clean tidy and with ensuite (shower)

Breakfast: A la Carte or buffet depending on your taste all options to me were just right

Location: right next to the Blue line (45 min via the train) 1 block walk from station 5 minuits or less. 2/3 blocks from lake Michigan avenue, 10 Min cab ride to night-life on rush/division
