It's steps from both the lake and the big shoppng district, near enough to transporation, and easy to get a cab. It has a pleasantly old-timey feel, but the rooms are updated and the bathroom is up to speed. The bar was a decent late-night hangout, and has huge TVs for sportswatching.

Centrally located - easy walking to the main shopping avenue(Magnificent Mile Michigan Avenue)

Staff very helpful - very comfortable room and bathroom although the bathroom could have had more shelf space for toiletries/cosmetics etc.

I'm writing this reveiw because I feel I owe it to the the lobby bar. Mora makes the best martinis and his service to the patrons is unmatched. We went here for lunch and martinis, but the menu for both the food and the bar have changed. NOT for the better (the menu), food still great and tasty. Stick with the bar menu that works. Fortunately for us, Mora accomodated our need for the original. Perfect again! The excellent is for the staff, especially Mora at the lobby bar. Thanks much for another great experiance.

A friend and I chose Millennium Knickerbocker for our 3 night stay in Chicago.

The purpose of our trip was site-seeing and Black Friday shopping, and this hotel is perfectly situated “where it all happens”. Stores, malls, restaurants, bars, tourist attractions are all within walking distance. We only had to use our car once, while in Chicago. In addition to that, sight-seeing tours can be booked right in the hotel lobby. Parking is available across the street for $37 a day (and this was one of the most affordable options in the area). Valley parking was available for over $40 a day.

We opted for a Superior 2 Double bed room, which was worth every penny (other than 2 separate beds that we needed, it offered additional ~100 sq ft of space). Although the building is aged, all areas of the hotel feature upgrades and are well-maintained.

The room had everything one would expect from a 4-star hotel: a flat screen TV, a desk, a mini-bar, 2 cordless phones, a safe, free-of-charge Internet connection, sufficient noise insulation. Do not expect a fascinating view from the windows, as the building stands among other tall structures.

The granite-countertop bathroom had generous amount of toiletries, extra towels, a rain-shower, a magnifying mirror and a hair dryer.

The staff was amazing. Everyone knew their role and played it very well.

A definite A+!
