Chicago hotels near Grant Park

Cons: We had a very strange smell in our room and had to change rooms. The hotel did not offer any kind of discount for the inconvenience and it was our 10th anniversary, which they were aware of. I would expect more out of a hotel with its standards and reputation.

Cons: An elevator alarm went off in the middle of the night and it took over one hour to fix it - not conducive to comfortable sleep.

Cons: There was broken glass in the bar and I cut my finger pretty badly on our first night at the hotel. Although hotel staff was very nice and they did call security, I thought they could have done more in way of compensation. In hindsight, I probably needed stitches and other than call to my room by the manager (who had already left by the time we got back to the room), they really didn't even follow-up.

Cons: Nothing. Except no vending machines for beverages. But a seven-eleven right around the corner so that worked.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: While we were okay with "no view", we didn't care for others looking into our windows. We had to keep our blinds closed the entire time. Sheers would be nice to still have the light but still have piece of mind about privacy. Perhaps next time we will ask for a view!!

Cons: Unfortunately, our car was towed during the valet check in. That was a bit of a hassle.

Cons: The check in desks aren't the best, it gets congested and it's loud. The evening reception is nice however I received one coin for one drink?! I saw many others with many coins for drinks.

Cons: Breakfast could be better. It's basically just juice, coffee and danish. They used to have toast and bagels when it was the Amalfi which I preferred. Prices have really gone up over the years. We have been staying at this location for a number of years (a few visits per year).

Cons: Everything was a little small (hotel room, lobby, etc). It was modern and boutique-like, but I wouldn't consider it a luxury hotel.

Cons: USB outlets caused some issues with phones, and in-room dining is ridiculously expensive.

Cons: View from the room was basically an alley and parking lot, not the best view in Chicago by any means. Breakfast ends a little early. Free drinks at the "lounge" was a great surprise but the lounge itself is a bizarre little room.

Cons: Having the staff sitting behind a desk seemed a little odd. Eye level would be nice.

Cons: Not at all what I've experienced from a four star hotel. The rooms weren't very big or nice. And the attendants at the lobby were sitting down, which I found odd. I would never rate this a four star hotel, I found it akin to Aloft hotels. I also bought this room for a friend's birthday, and they said they don't do anything special for birthdays. I've stayed at 3 star hotels that send up champagne on birthdays.

Cons: The elevator service was terrible. We would often wait over 20 minutes to catch the elevator during the day, and the stairs were not practical when you're staying in the 28th floor.

Cons: Smallest room I've ever seen. Valet parking outrageously expensive.

Cons: Not much i didnt like. Nice view of the Chicago river but would be better if window was cleaner.

Cons: I had issues about several things that may not matter to some people but it bothered me. I asked twice for a sleeping mask and the first night they're were out said they'll get some in the next day. On the next day I asked again and they already have them out.?.? I feel they should have notated I requested one the first day and then have it ready the next. The bed linens leave something to be desired. They use a flat sheet for the bottom sheet which kept coming undone. The comforter wasn't big enough for the bed. It continuously kept falling off so in the middle of the night I had to get up and cover my wife back up. The room was for the most part clean. However I drop something and when I looked under the bed I saw individual skittles covered in dust :-/. And the restaurant... We tried to eat and drink there but the service was terrible. Took 20 mins to get menus and a water. I guess they're understaffed? But we left before ordering anything due to the service. The overal stay wasn't terrible. I would stay there again but I would never pay full price for it.

Cons: The room was tiny - literally the same size as many of the hotel rooms we stayed in in Japan. The toiletries and furnishings were the bare minimum - don't forget to bring the bar of soap to the shower if you want to use it there instead of at the sink! Finally, the elevator situation is terrible. Multiple times, we had to wait well over 10 minutes for an elevator to get to our room. Be sure to budget in extra time if you're on a schedule!

Cons: They have no lot, no arrangement with a local lot, and only one valet on staff as best I could tell. This guy would disappear for up to 20-30 min, or flat out say it will be 20+ min before I can get your car. All that, for $55 per trip. Don't drive, or plan to find a distant garage if you want to pay less than $50-70 per night parking. Atop the valet-delay, they only had one elevator servicing floors 11-30s, and every trip up or down took at least 10 min of waiting (don't leave anything behind!) and every trip in the elevator was packed body to body.

Cons: My king bed was actually a king box spring with two twin mattresses. Who does that? The seam is right in the middle of your back.

Cons: It was difficult to locate and find initally when we were driving and trying to checkin.

Cons: Have to wait along time for elevator, then it broke down along with the coffee machine.

Cons: Needs a good cleaning and update, grungy.

Cons: The bed and pillows weren't very comfortable. And there weren't that many amenities.

Cons: Price to keep the car over night was expensive.

Cons: The bathroom was poorly separated from the bedroom. With a gap above the hanging door to the bathroom area and a much bigger gap above the glass door that made up the toilet room, it was almost like we were in there together. Not very romantic.

Cons: The corner lounge was strange in terms of food offerings, everyone shows up for breakfast expecting to find dry cereal, bananas or a pop tart. Get rid of the candy and party mix and offer a minimal continental breakfast.

Cons: No breakfast provided

Cons: Rudeness of certain hotel staff, pillows were way too soft

Cons: I needed to print a document and the business center did not have a printer.

Cons: The room was really quite loud. The air conditioner would kick on and wake me up several times a night. We were also close to the elevator (which I know is unavoidable) and could hear word for word the conversations in the hallway. This made for a rough night's sleep.

Cons: - no room service - no movie purchase options - by 4-5pm I had to ask ever day to have room cleaned - Valet parking is $50 per night but if u walk to the lot they park your car at they only charge $30. Plus, all surrounding lots, less than a block away, charge between $25-30. When I brought up how they are overcharging for parking I was told to download an app and search for cheaper parking in the area....what service.....- shower had a glass wall that overlooked the room so anyone in your room can see you in the shower or on the toilet. there is a curtain but it barely covers the glass and it's on the room side meaning the person in the shower doesn't control the curtain. - shower glass wall leaked into the room. The carpet between the bed and the shower was soaked for my entire stay
