Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Centrally located in The Loop, close to restaurants, shops, and theatres
- Decent-sized rooms come with free Wi-Fi, plus coffeemakers with Green Mountain coffee
- Bright, modern 24-hour fitness center (for no fee) with river views and Life Fitness cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights
- Casual, reasonably priced Hoyt’s restaurant on-site
- Great city and/or river views from most rooms
- Free, 24-hour business center
- Within two blocks of 6 subway lines
Cons
- Fee for valet parking
- Steep non-refundable fee for pets
Bottom Line
This mid-range hotel is centrally located in The Loop, on the northern edge of Chicago's Theatre District. Its 357 rooms — renovated in 2011 — are comfortable and spacious (though a tad generic for the price), and come with updated amenities, such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. The bright fitness center with great river and city views, the casual Hoyt’s restaurant, and its wonderful location make this a great pick, but for more stylish rooms, consider the often similarly priced Hard Rock Hotel Chicago, Allegro Chicago Hotel, or Hotel Monaco.
