“Close to everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

I stayed here during my recent trip and it was great. Close to the red line subway and Michigan Ave. The Art institute and the Bean are a short taxi ride away. They have complimentary breakfast and some dinners which are nice to have. The restaurants within walking distance are great too. Overall a good deal!

Breegreenly,

Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts on our hotel. I was happy to see that you had a great experience while staying with us at Homewood Suites. It seems like you were able to take advantage of the location of the hotel and many of the amenities we offer. If it would not be too much of an inconvenience, would you be kind enough to “like” us on facebook? We hope that when your travels bring you back to downtown Chicago, we will remain a top choice for you.

Sincerely,

Jason Park
Guest Experience Manager

“Excellent Hotel & Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We stayed here a few weeks ago and found the staff friendly and the room excellent. television is a tad short on channels but otherwise the stay was good. The valet attendants were extremely friendly and helpful as were the desk staff with smooth check-in. The only downside is turkey sausage is nothing I ever want to try again and was a bit of a surprise. The location is another plus with proximity to many good restaurants, stores, and activities.

“Comfy but dated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We picked this hotel due to the location near magnificent mile, and it was a convenient location. Many restaurants and shopping areas. It was expensive for the condition of the room. The bathroom was clean but needs updated. There were three of us and the mirror/vanity area was extremely small, only one person could use it at a time. One person tried to use the mirrored closet doors but they came off the track. The pull out sofa for the third person was uncomfortable and we had to pay 10.00 extra. Why? Overall the staff was very pleasant and helpful. I would stay there again due to location.

Thank you for recently staying with us and for posting a review of Homewood Suites downtown Chicago. I would like to apologize for the uncomfortable night sleep you had on the sofa-bed. If you choose to stay at our hotel again in the future, I would be happy to place a sofa-bed topper in your room along with an extra mirror.

I was pleased to see that you enjoyed the location of the hotel while visiting downtown Chicago. I appreciate you taking the time to mention the very pleasant staff. We hope you give us the opportunity to create a great experience for you the next time you visit Chicago.
