Very surprising that this is a marriott hotel. The shower was disgusting, the magnetic cover to tap your card was on the ground, we put in a request for a fridge because ours wasn't working and they lied and said they came to the room and the dnd sign was on the door.....we never put that on the door. They then said they'll send someone up, they didn't coming until like 30 min later and even with that, the guy said "that's as cold as it gets".....the temp of the room was even cooler than that fridge. I also put in a request for a walk in shower during my reservation because of mobility issues and that wasn't honored as well. I brought this up with the front desk and they did try to find a room, but had none available. All in all, not my cup of tea and def won't be back.

This hotel did not have coffee machines in the room! However you could take the 25 floor ride to the lobby and get free coffee. This hotel did not offer complimentary Wi-Fi in the room but you could take the 25 floor ride to the lobby and get free Wi-Fi. Don’t park at this hotel with a truck because it will cost you $86 per day!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and had amazing views of the city. The location was perfect—walking distance to so many Chicago attractions, great restaurants, and shopping. The amenities were top-notch, and the attention to detail really made our trip extra special. We can’t wait to come back and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chicago!

I was pleasantly surprised on how nice the hotel was. Room decor was modern and very functional. Beds were amazing. Furniture edges were cheaped here and there; that would be my only complain. Heads up - be ready to pay for $85 parking per day. Do not park overnight in the area, you will get towed. The breakfast was amazing. Two vouchers were for 4 people.

Honestly for the price is not worth it. When I searched for a hotel I put breakfast included. We were 2 adults and a child and they did not include my child. You only have the right to one thing from a very limited menu and I ended up paying for my child. The pool looked nasty. Very murky and oily looking water. The room was fine but I found an used napkin on top of my bed. Definitely not worth it.

Not friendly.

Get a lake view it has a beautiful view. Beds were comfortable. Room was 6/10 of cleanliness. Windows and nightstand were dirty. Housekeeping was so polite and nice. Other staff were standoffish. No one said hi when I was checking in. Wasn't a friendly environment. Great area to walk to the Navy Pier and enjoy the beach.

Good location, within walking distance to everything. Very close to Navy Pier, the beach, and the Michigan Lake Trail. The only unpleasant thing about the hotel was that we had a room right next to the elevator, and the noise was very annoying.

It was 4 stars

I felt if I’m getting a room for the view of the lake the windows could be a little cleaner. I got a room for 4 ppl. It should have the proper amount of towels. Also we couldn’t get WiFi. Even though the windows had dead bugs and dirt on them it was still a nice view. The deposit of $200 is ridiculous as well! No complementary breakfast! Also the body lotion stinks and the soap and lotion was half way filled up. Glad I had my own. also too much dog poo in the hotel yard.

Almost Perfect

The staff is wonderful. Everyone is very attentive to customer needs. The room was just spacious enough. The beds were comfortable. I love a hotel that provides bottles of water in the room at no additional cost. I have only two minor complaints. First, there was only one bar of soap provided. We need two - one for the shower and one for the sink. There were no other soap or body wash options either. Second, (and this is a pet peeve of mine), when reservations are made in advance and you know how many are staying in the room, please be sure there are enough towels and wash cloths for each. Two of the three nights I had to call the front desk and ask for towels and soap. I appreciate the staff’s promptness.

The staff was really nice and the location was conveniently located to Navy Pier and shopping. The hotel could use some updating, chairs faux leather was pealing, floor tiles were missing grout and the hallways were very dark in the daytime.( Other guest rooms had showers that didn’t work.) For the price we paid I was expecting a better experience!
