This is a really cool Hotel in Chicago, its right in the middle of everything and the price was a deal for how nice this place is. This hotel will not bore you, its charming, exciting, and innovative. I must say, although it is fun and stylish, its not so over the top to the point where it is uncomfortable (like W hotels can be sometimes) this hotel is still cozy and friendly to all people.

Stay here in Chicago you will not be disappointed, whoever you are!

Staff is very friendly, rooms are nice with great view of Chicago River and close to House of Blues and Harry Caray's Resaurant, as well, not far from Magnificent Mile. Hallways were dark and elevators a bit scary, but overall great hotel. The bar, Crimson, located in the hotel was not great. The bartenders were nice but the waitresses were like talking to a wall.

We stayed 5 nights for $129/night including parking (which is usually $39/day). Room was very nice, bathroom was spacious. Nicely appointed and very comfortable overall. We requested a quiet room and a refrigerator and got exactly that. Hotel staff was friendly and accommodating -- Rich, one of the parking attendants, was kind enough to drive us to a show (we were running late) and then park our rental car. The only complaint is about the morning coffee service in the lobby. First, the coffee wasn't very good (freshly brewed but cheap/slightly sour -- I roast my own beans at home so I may pickier than most). Second, and more importantly, the coffee was not only taken away at 9am (which seems early to me, should be 10am for those who sleep late), but one day I arrived at 8:50am to find it had already been removed. Third, they allow both the coffee and cream/milk to run out. Guests shouldn't have to notify hotel staff when there's no coffee AND no cream. That said, I would stay at the Sax Hotel again in a heartbeat at anywhere near this price. Recommended!
P.S. There's an Einstein's Bagel place less than a block away for better coffee (but only slightly), the usual bagels, and yogurt w/granola (for a quick and easy breakfast), etc.

This is a nice hotel. It is "close" on a lot of categories so if you get a good rate you should chose this as a possibility. Here is what close means. The hotel is close to being very good, close to good neighborhood close to having very good service. Would this be the first choice - close but no. It is a pleasant hotel. the rooms are nice. the neighborhood is 3 blocks from nice. Having House of Blues 20 feet away is close to being quiet. Overall I liked the hotel and paid $160 a night and would stay again at that rate or lower. Because the hotel is not great, not great service, not a great heighborhood, not great sound proofing I would not stay at $200. Hope this helps.
