Chicago hotels near Picasso Statue

Cons: Service was boardline TOO GOOD if that is such a thing

Cons: The pool area was not on par with the essence or ambiance of the rest of the hotel, with the lack of hot tub areas and the extreme plainness of the pool area compared to the rest of the hotel.

Cons: The maintenance guy who tried to fix a broken bathroom light was using very profane language as he failed at repairing the light. However, this staff member's behavior scored us a free upgrade from city view - to river lake view - so it all worked out.

Cons: There wasn't anything major to complain about here. My fiancé felt the complimentary toiletries could have been more femanine scented (or at least a tad more gender neutral) and our server at the dinner in the lobby was slow and forgot a third of our order (to her credit however, she recovered well when the mistake was pointed out).

Cons: That I couldn't stay longer... I loved everything about the room.

Cons: Gym kind of sucks.

Cons: The room was a little noisy from outside noise.

Cons: nothing

Cons: The coffee shop has gone down hill

Cons: That we didn't get to stay longer!

Cons: This hotel is just way too loud with people partying right up front. Didnt even feel safe.

Cons: That' the windows could not be opened, so the room could not be ventilated and freshen the air.

Cons: Room service was inconsistent. Ordered same sandwich twice, received completely different sandwich and sides.

Cons: We had to wait 90 mins to be checked into our room. We also had to ask twice to have our room made up even though we had the service light on.

Cons: Nothing

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cons: Needs a good cleaning and update, grungy.

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

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: 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: No complaints.

Cons: Check in was uncomfortable. My family requested an early check in first thing in morning thru Kayak. We drove several hours with young children & wanted to get to the Chi & settle in for our short visit. I was told thru text an early check in couldn't be guaranteed. We lived in Chicago, spouse a native so we didn't mind finding something to do. We arrived at 11:30 after having breakfast in Lincoln Park by the zoo. It was raining so we decided to try to check in early. I took my place in line. Another lady walked up to the only staff attended desk & stepped between the woman already getting service & myself. She proceeded ahead of me & I spoke up. She huffed & puffed. As if I was inconveniencing her. Worse off the staff member states he didn't know who was next but she just needs to swap her key and I could wait since my check in would take longer! I protested but she was serviced while I continued to wait! When it was my turn I was told I couldn't check in, I was 9th in line, & we couldn't expect a room for at least 2 hours... unless we chose a room to small or we paid $75 for a suite! I removed myself from line & called my spouse. I returned to line moments later to a different staff member, Ricardo. He immediately set us up with the room we needed & handed me keys! Amazing the difference a minute makes! Thanks Ricardo! Later that evening we saw the woman who stepped in front of me & received preference from staff. She was in full pilot uniform leaving the hotel. She hosed past me looking like an angry pitbull. Despite the great location and family friendly atmosphere we might never go back. There are too many other places to choose from!
