The hotel itself needs a massive upgrade. Bathroom fixtures were beat up, TV was really old, no refregerator or any amenities to count on. Parking is not easy to figure out. And the staff isn't really trained for provide more than just the minimal information. It is a convenient location. And the staff was friendly enough. But you get what you pay for. So you can expect a clean room but don't plan on much more.

Okay hotel
A basic hotel room. The bed was a little too soft and the pillows could have been better. Conveniently located by Roosevelt CTA station and multiple bus stops. Museum Campus nearby. The area seemed sketchy after 9 pm. Location is the main positive of this hotel.

Great service and location
We were given great service. They had said they could keep our bags at the desk until check in but instead had our room ready early. Kept our bags after checkout which nade life easier our last day in town. Great location - we walked almost everywhere.

Great Stay
I read several negative reviews on the property. We found it quite adequate and really good in a few areas. Yes, some of the floors are not level. Yes, some of the furniture is older and has character. Yes, the elevators, hallways, room, and especially the bathroom are small. In New York City all these things add up to 'Vintage Charm'. The place was clean, staff for the most part very helpful. Location was really good. Close to many nice eating places AND walking distance to Soldier Field. 2 blocks from the 'L'. BUT! They had 2 coffee urns in the lobby and for 4 days we were there, THERE WASN'T A DROP OF COFFEE IN THEM. C'mon management, that's an easy one.

Good Location Hotel Not So
The hotel is in a good location right across from Grant Park within walking distance to the museums there and Soldier Field. There are some excellent restaurants nearby and a Trader Joe's. But, the hotel allows panhandlers to hang right out front, near the front door. The Hilton Garden and Homewood Suites next door do not have this issue. The check-in experience was good, but that is where the service stopped. Our room had a broken bathroom door (the panel was coming off the door and would catch on the door jam if the door was fully closed.) I let the Front Desk know and they didn't even apologize. The bathroom vanity was dinged up. There are no amenities such as breakfast, small convenience store, etc or even water bottles in the room. They do have valet parking which is convenient, but the system is inefficient. The front desk personnel also staff valet. It took nearly 40 minutes to retrieve our car from the valet. The front desk person had to operate the front desk, retrieve luggage from the luggage storage area and get the valet cars. I was told valet was the last priority. For $52 a night, I would expect better service. If given a choice, I would stay next door at one of the Hilton properties. Sadly, those were booked so I decided to give this one a try.

Inigualable ubicación. El staff siempre fue muy amable con nosotros. Tienen el Yolk y el Paris Baguette ahí abajo y son super buenas opciones para desayunar. A 2 cuadras tienes la parada del bus y a 3 cuadras la estación del metro. Limpieza de la habitación excelente. Cuenta con mini refri, caja fuerte, secadora de cabello, y café gratis.

I loved everything about this place, unfortunately my stay was slightly ruined by my neighbors having crying children and yelling during the daytime as well as some banging most likely due to construction in the property. Other than those two things the plave was great and the view from my room was amazing

After airline issue of missing a flight I called hotel directly to inform them that we would be arriving the next day. Was informed that our room would be available when we arrived in the morning. Upon arrival I was told that they had no rooms available and that we would need to wait until check in time. Room that we were assigned to was in poor condition and even though I alerted the front desk nothing was corrected. The bathroom door panel was half falling off. I was very disappointed with the condition of the room and the room not being available upon arrival. This was not a positive experience with dealing with Best Western Brand.
