Chicago hotels near Rush and Division Streets

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: The customer service was not good. We waited 30-45 minutes for our bags to be brought up to our room and finally had to go down to get them. There were two bellmen standing in the lobby doing nothing and our luggage was just sitting there. As mentioned the room was not properly cleaned which is never a good feeling when you are staying in a hotel. I requested a late check-out and was immediately told "No due to someone else staying in our room and they needed to clean it". He then asked what room we were staying in. He again said it wasn't possible as someone was staying in that room and they would need to clean it. When we checked out I forgot a brand new shirt I bought while staying there. I rarely hang things in the closet and had done so since it was a new shirt. I realized this the next day and called and again was given horrible customer service. They told me it was not in the room and that nobody stayed in that room the night before so they couldn't help me. Obviously, the maid who cleaned that room took it, but they accepted no responsibility for that. Not to mention they couldn't give us a late check-out due to another guest needing the room. It's a shame the customer service was so bad because it is a nice hotel in a great area of the city.

Cons: That we eventually had to leave. Everything was wonderful!

Cons: Staff need to stop acting so high fallutin. Yes it is the Sofitel, but you still work for me.

Cons: Temperature control was a bit dicey; had to get up in the middle of the night because no matter what we set the thermostat to, it went absolutely boiling once we were asleep. Hair dryer didn't work (so I'm told).

Cons: bed was too soft

Cons: The scent was missing from the hotel, this was the main thing I was looking forward to and was very disappointed in that there was no luxurious scent to go with a luxurious hotel.

Cons: A bit expensive.

Cons: it would've been great to have iPhone charging docks/stations. we forgot to bring one charger.

Cons: Many hidden charges, especially for room service, it costs a fortune. Other than that, great stay, friendly staff, good food, exactly what’s expected for a 5-star hotel

Cons: Location of ice machine? Signage was inaccurate. Fron desk promised to send some one to show me--but this took 2 calls.

Cons: nothing

Cons: The front desk is a bit difficult to get to, but the check in process was smooth. I had a a bit of difficult getting a bellman to collect my bags from storage though I was first in line. Not really a good hotel for children.

Cons: Breakfast was over priced and not that good.

Cons: Absolutely nothing! Wonderful hotel for a romantic weekend!!

Cons: Nothing. I thought everything was perfect

Cons: Except for my wife losing her nose ring and no thin sheets were available; our stay was outstanding.

Cons: Rooms too small

Cons: No spa or sauna on the premises. No light in the shower and overall the facilities were less luxurious than other locations (specifically Sofitel Athens), though it was still very nice. Strange decorations for the holidays in the lobby...

Cons: Valet parking was too expensive, $60 plus dollars a day.

Cons: More attention to detail could be provided to the cleanliness of the shower area. Several areas of black mildew in the grout of the shower wall.

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

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

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: 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: Nothing

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: 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: 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: 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: I could hear a party going on in the room across the hallway, obviously very annoying at 10:30pm when i'm trying to sleep. When I complained the desk staff responded by telling me the noise complaint policy and that it may take a while for them to deal with the noise since the "partiers" have rights too. They weren't apologizing and they treated me like I was being difficult. What is difficult about expecting a hotel room to be place suitable for sleep? It took them over 15 minutes and 2 trips to the lobby to make things right but only after the concierge stepped in to offer an apology and an upgraded room away from the noise. He was the only one that appeared to have any hospitality training. They should hire more employees like him. Ultimately Chicago has so many hotel options, I can't see a reason to stay at Dana again.

Cons: I feel like they need a regular maintenance schedule. The rubber strip had come off of the shower door so the bathroom would flood when I showered. The closet and bathroom share a door which squeaked really loudly when rolled from one side to the other. The toilet kept running, and the display in the elevators needed repair. The staff was responsive when I asked for things to be fixed but it would have been nice not to have to deal with it while on vacation. Not a great place for folks who don't do stairs well as the elevators don't go all the ground level (perhaps if you asked they might give a special key?).

Cons: The only odd thing about the room is that the entire bathroom can be open to the bed. There is a curtain from the outside that only just covers it. The concierge at the hotel was also sub par. When I asked where to get sushi he suggested the hotel restaraunt and when I asked where to get bagels in the morning he suggested whole foods. I was unhappy with this service as a concierge because they should know the hot spots in the city.

Cons: The rooom had a door that wasn't sealed well so it was loud. The ceiling is cement so it made the room feel very cramped almost like being in a coffin. The staff was weird and looked like they were hired off the street. The locker room and work out room were poor. It's a weird place. Just had a bad vibe. And the hotel itself feels like a cheap conversion of an 80s built apartment building. Looks like they cut corners all over the place. I won't stay there again and probably won't use kayak again for hotels after my experience. They made it very clear that because I booked through a "3rd party" that they didn't accommodate my problem with the noise the same as if I booked through them.

Cons: It was a bit too trendy for me and lacked a sense of community in the lobby. Other than at check out, there was always a line to speak with the front desk and no one was at the concierge desk. There wasn't a way to block the street lights out as the block out curtains didn't cover the edge of the windows - thought they did a fine job of blocking out most sunlight. The room was set up poorly - no garbage near the coffee maker, hard to find outlets and hard to figure out how to turn on the various lights - one lamp I could never find the switch for. Awesome for hot make out sessions, less ideal for reviewing conference materials.

Cons: The room was poorly set up so that the shower (and everything else in the bathroom) was visible from the bed - making it nearly impossible to have any privacy considering the control of the curtain which covers the glass is left in the control of the person outside of the bathroom. We had also requested a quiet room, not located directly under the roofdeck club to be able to sleep in and relax while staying there. What we did not account for was the incredibly loud construction beginning before 8am on a Saturday directly above our room. When we contacted guest services to help resolve the issue, they were slow to respond and weren't as sympathetic / helpful as I would have imagined. At 12PM on Saturday, we were awoken by a large party on the floor above us with at least 20 people and loud music - this also took guest services a while to respond to. When we booked this room, we were thrilled to be staying in a hotel / spa for a relaxing weekend. It seemed the hotel was more of a party hotel than anything.

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!
