No title - expert review
This is one of the rare Chicago hotels to have its name in the National Register of Historic Places. It lived a prior incarnation as a printing shop on the well-preserved Printer's Row. The redbrick exterior remains in harmony with the rest of the street and does not prepare guests for the equally e...

good for tourists, too! - user review
If you are a tourist and want ot stay in the heart of Chicago, this is an excellent choice. Although there is not a lake view from the hotel, tourists don't travel somewhere to sit in a hotel room. The amenities are probably spartan compared to some other nearby hotels, but is clean and located clos...

mild disappointment - user review
We booked for an in town anniversary weekend. We were very excited as the place looks phenomenal on the website. The room we were checked into was a disaster. It had been cleaned, but obviously needed to be worked over by engineering. It looked like there had been a party in the room. Pillows were t...

Will definitely return: ) - user review
My husband and I stayed only 1 night, but we loved our room! We didn't even feel like we were in a hotel room, with the usual decor and furniture. It felt like a normal, but stylish bedroom! The furnishings were nice and the bed is super comfortable. We loved the bathroom! Spacious, trendy, but prac...

Very Comfortable Hotel - user review
My husband and I stopped at this hotel after having a business meeting in North Carolina. We were looking for a place to relax after our busy week. This hotel was perfect for that. We were very impressed with the room. The bed was very comfortable and it just looked cool. For the price, we thought i...

Good Location, Pleasantly Decorated - user review
My room was spacious for a downtown hotel and the bed was large and comfortable (with a wealth of pillows). There are a number of affordable restaurants nearby and a Starbucks across the street if, like me, you're up too early for the hotel restaurant's (expensive) breakfast. The majestic Chicago pu...

Not that bad - user review
Our last minute trip was made to see the Oprah show. We didn't have a lot of time to plan and I was a little worried because of the reviews. The hotel is just fine. If you're a really high maintenance individual, you may not enjoy the stay, but for the price, you can't beat it. There is a nice doorm...

Staff Needs Work - user review
Our TV did not work. We contacted the front desk, they said they would have someone come up a fix the problem it never happened. The shower had no hot water; again they did nothing to fix the problem during our stay. The front desk staff was young, lazy and unimpressive. There are many other better ...

Quaint Hotel - user review
Overall, a very pleasant stay. The front desk made it very easy to check in and get our room right away, even though we were a few hours early from official check in time. The hotel has a modern twist to it, and also in a good area for going out and about in the Loop. The only downside to the hotel ...

Cozy Quiet Getaway - user review
Room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel is situated in Printer's Row which is relatively quiet and out of the way from the rest of the downtown hustle & bustle. Close to the subway station. Room had a view of the Harold Washington Library, really beautiful! Overall, v...

Not impressed with hotel staff - user review
The hotel and rooms are very visually appealing, however there are very subtle things that turned me off. Two out of the three lamps in our room did not work, leaving us in the dark until we had to ask for new lightbulbs and didn't receive them until day 2 of our stay. The windows are horribly insul...

I wouldn’t suggest this to anyone. - user review
The hotel looked beautiful. The service was awful. The valet took more than an hour, we never got our room service, and no one ever answered their phones. We had no hot water for a shower and the heater in our room was obnoxiously loud, waking us up every 30 min. all night long. Worst of all, the ne...

Great Rooms, Friendly service, Great Location - user review
The rooms are great. I had a king bed and the room was very spacious, front facing and quiet. I was highly dissatisfied with the free internet since it never worked. They switched me to another room that was considerably smaller and the internet didn't work very well either. That said, the hotel sta...

Great location, blocks from the Loop, in a Landmark Printer’s Row building - user review
Very nicely updated old National Landmarks registered building smackdab downtown. Walk a block and watch the El insinuate itself between the skyscrapers. Room was large, clean and handsome. The service is a trifle casual, perhaps (young staff, without Old World hotel manners) but no big deal. Would ...

Very noisy, otherwise nice - user review
While the room is comfortable and the decor is nice, I found the hotel to be extremely noisy. This noise was created by both the emergency vehicle sirens and the doors slamming. It seemed every time a door closed, it slammed so loud it shook the floor. Also, there is no vending machine in the buildi...
