Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Charming brick building and Victorian-style lobby
- Contemporary rooms with microwaves and mini-fridges
- Fitness center with sauna and whirlpool
- Free Wi-Fi and free continental breakfast
- Free morning newspaper delivery
- 24-hour front desk staff
Cons
- No restaurant or room service (just breakfast)
- No business center
- Fee for self-parking
- Far from the tourist sites
Bottom Line
The 83-room Best Western Hawthorne Terrace is one of the few hotels in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, a northern residential area that's home to Wrigley Field and Chicago's gay nightlife scene. It's got more charm than you'd expect from a chain hotel -- a brick building covered with ivy, a Victorian-style lobby with a fireplace, contemporary rooms renovated in 2010 -- as well as solid freebies, including Wi-Fi, continental breakfasts and morning newspaper delivery. But it's far from the tourist sights, and lacks a full restaurant, room service, and a business center.
