Check in was quick, easy & polite. The room was TINY. I travel to/stay in Chicago 6-10x per year and this was by far the smallest room I've stayed in. I ordered room service for breakfast and waited nearly an hour for food and had to call down (40 mins after ordering) to alert that Id put an order in. This then meant I was rushed to check out and, while there was a line of 3 guests waiting, there was only one person working the desk while two other employees stood chatting with one another and not acknowledging the guests needs. When servicing business travelers this isn't acceptable.

Place is great. Very convenient and walkable to museums restaurants shopping parks and the lakefront. My only complaint is they ran out of caffeinated coffee on our last morning. What?! No worries, plenty of coffee shops nearby

Only thing that was confusing was parking. The hotel directs you to the loading dock / back entrance on Garland (basically an alley) but Apple GPS will take you to a section of Garland a block off prompting you to re route a half dozen city blocks worth of one ways. That can be a pain around rush hour as it is all left turns. Once getting to the right spot everything was smooth. Terrell greeted us nicely and walked out to the alley where we temporarily parked to make sure we knew where to go from there to the garage. Service was A-plus, room was comfortable and it was easy to get around on foot. Lots of restaurant and nightlife options nearby. Extremely convenient to Chicago Theatre.

No one at desk to check us in. The machine said check in so I spent 20 minutes entering the info. Then someone showed up and said you can’t check in that way. And now there is a long line.

Review of Arlo Hotel – Mixed Experience I recently stayed at the Arlo Hotel and while the front desk staff was exceptional—truly welcoming, professional, and accommodating—there were a couple of key issues that would prevent me from staying here again or recommending the property to others. 1. Parking Inconvenience: Parking was a major drawback. The hotel does not offer valet or on-site parking, which is especially inconvenient if you’re traveling with multiple bags. Guests are expected to park across the alley at a nearby Enterprise garage. While the hotel validates parking, it only offers a discounted rate—not full validation. We still ended up paying over $40. Perhaps I'm used to a higher level of convenience, but this felt like an unnecessary hassle. 2. Disappointing On-Site Bar Experience: My friend and I visited the on-site bar hoping to enjoy a drink, but unfortunately, the service was non-existent. We were not acknowledged or assisted after seating ourselves, so we left and ended up at Cindy’s at the Athletic Club down the street—a much more enjoyable experience and exactly the level of service we were looking for. On the positive side, the property itself is stylish, centrally located, and again, the front desk team deserves full credit for their outstanding service. However, the parking situation and the poor bar experience were significant enough to impact our overall stay. I truly hope this feedback helps the team improve these aspects for future guests.
