Visitor Review:
My wife and 18 month old stayed at the lakefront from April 8-13. It was our first stay in Chicago so I don’t have other hotels in Chicago to use as a comparison but to me it was just average at best.
The atrium is a really bad concept if you ask me because sound really travels through that hotel…we were on the tenth floor but it felt like our room was in the lobby bar it was so noisy. We should have requested a room on the roof. Not only is the lobby bar loud but if the people staying next to you are somewhat loud you can hear them too! I could hear the tv from next door from my room.
The breakfast is great as long as you’re up bright and early otherwise you’ll be in line forever. Same goes for the free drinks from 5:30-7:30pm everynight…but it is free. Personally I’d rather pay $7 for a beer and get decent service.
The rooms were nice and big but filthy! I picked up a piece of broken glass off the floor and about 1000 hairs came with it.
Great location!
Parking is a complete rip-off! $49 for 24 hr parking!
