Chicago hotellit lähellä Gold Coast

Plussat: And the rooftop was was incredible!

Plussat: The atmosphere was phenomenal, extremely close to all of the City’s best attractions. The front desk staff was very helpful and resourceful. Will definitely come here again!

Plussat: Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: The floors are slanted. There are no soft lights to aid a trip to the bathroom, only a bright light that shines in the room. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel.

Plussat: The room was amazing and loved the view to the city. Close to everything.

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: Fantastic location. Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Very clean (including our room). Lovely and esthetic design. Great view of the city (from a higher floor room). Overall great! The Portsmith restaurant menu looked really good, but we did not try it as we already had many other reservations in the City.

Miinukset: The spa itself (facilities, decor, etc.) were really nice, modern, super clean and noticeably newly remodeled. We got the couple’s massage (classic Swedish). While the masseuses were exceptionally nice and highly professional, I didn’t walk away feeling like it was a wonderful and relaxing massage. It was just OK. Maybe that was just me...? While they have a sauna, unfortunately the men’s and women’s is strictly separate. Thus it takes away from a “day at the spa” experience for a couple wanting to hang out and enjoy together. That was a bummer :( The Apogee rooftop bar/terrace with views of the city was a key draw for me. We only went up on Friday or Saturday and unfortunately the vibe was not at all pleasant - extremely loud, tasteless music, bad lighting and that “classless club” vibe. We walked out immediately. It’s probably much nicer on a regular weekday, since it’s essentially a club, open to the public, on weekends. But we didn’t go back during the week to check it out. Maybe next time...

Plussat: Excellent location and excellent price

Plussat: Clean staff was friendly

Miinukset: Liked everything

Plussat: Amazing weekend away here with my fiancé. We enjoy every second of it.

Plussat: We loved the rain shower!

Miinukset: We paid for the breakfast and it was definitely not worth the price we paid. Would have been better off going outside the facility for breakfast.

Plussat: Room & Roof top bar

Miinukset: The no door inside shower

Plussat: rooms are clean and modern with quality furnishings. Bed was pure luxury. Views over Chicago city are amazing.

Plussat: The bed was really comfortable. I liked it so much

Miinukset: Pay TV

Miinukset: The showers in these rooms lack curtains or doors; about an inch of water collected on the floor during every shower and you will spend quite a bit of your time (and all of your clean towels) swabbing it up. They're very, very poorly - and wastefully - designed.

Plussat: location and services

Plussat: shower and bed

Miinukset: water, sodas at minibar is not included

Miinukset: They charged the full stay at the time of booking, which is really not the deal when using Booking.com!!!

Plussat: Clean--VERY friendly staff--Great value for Chicago--Even turned down the bedding--Classy--I'll be back !!!

Miinukset: Nope

Plussat: The room size and the location are very nice. Service is very good. It also provides continental breakfast.

Miinukset: Could hear the noise from the room next door.

Plussat: The view was great! We stayed on a corner room on the 8th floor. The two corner walls consisted of huge windows!

Miinukset: The room was smaller than what I thought it would be. I was disappointed to find out that the rooftop lounge was not open yet.

Plussat: The spacious rooms and rain shower.

Miinukset: The resturant food was ok but way overpriced.

Plussat: Staff were very Nice and Welcoming. Breakfast was Exceptional. And Enjoyed the Exercising Gym.

Plussat: The location was easy to find.

Miinukset: They charged me twice for a 1 night stay over $---. Had to get my bank involved.

Plussat: The location was great although too close to a hospital :; you can hear the ambulance all night

Miinukset: Plumbing was worse; evertime the next room flushes or turns a faucet on ( seems like they were doing it all night ) there was a big banging inside the falls from the plumbing.

Plussat: I loved this hotel and will definitely stay there again when I m back in Chicago! The staff was wonderful and we got into our room almost 3 hours earlier than we were supposed to be able to. The location is perfect and everything is very clean.

Miinukset: Hot tub was cold. Things were broken in the room

Plussat: Beautiful hotel in great location. Modern and clean. Nice bar and restaurant with Starbucks in lobby. Friendly courteous staff.

Plussat: The location

Plussat: location and facilities are great- nice sized rooms and they are updated.

Plussat: It was beautiful and had many amenities available. The restaurant and bar were perfect after a long day of driving .

Plussat: Location is perfect. Very clean too

Plussat: Nice lobby

Miinukset: Bed was very uncomfortable and people weren't very friendly

Plussat: Spacious rooms and great gym facilities.

Plussat: The air conditioning.

Miinukset: Our room was not ready at check-in. The bed skirt was torn and stained. The in-room movie played very poorly. The staff was unfriendly.

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and freindly. The room was clean and very nice located near a lot of shopping. Our stay was very enjoyable and we will stay here again soon.

Plussat: The people at Wyndham were so helpful making sure everything was perfect for us!

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: Service was amazing. Location was awesome!

Plussat: The accomodations were comfortable, the hotel beautiful, the location convenient, the staff extremely knowledgeable, friendly & helpful.

Miinukset: Not really. A common suggestion that I have is in relation to the lights at the nightstand. Most places I've stayed, including this hotel, have both lights for double beds in between them. It would be better to have a light on the far side of the bed so the guest sleeping in the other bed is not disturbed by the late-night reader (me!).

Plussat: Bed was comfy. Room was clean. We came early and got an upgraded room!! Also free valet parking!!!!

Miinukset: No free breakfast

Plussat: Loved the location friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing everything was perfect

Plussat: The room was nice, quiet ad with a decent view.

Miinukset: The hotel did not inform me about extra charges for the things I did not use.

Miinukset: The elevators were small and old.

Plussat: The location was perfect, and the Staff could not have been nicer.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The front desk staff was rude. She would not provide check out itemized receipt. When I insisted on getting the check out receipt she said She did not like my attitude and threatened to call police. It was a disturbing experience.

Plussat: Room size was great and good pricing.

Miinukset: Nothing special about food service or staff - all coffee in a "to go" container? Can't blame the staff - it's a heavily discounted hotel in downtown Chicago and I doubt that people are getting paid enough to do more than they need to.

Plussat: Staff was tremendous, one of party dropped her wallet with lots of cash and cell phone , staff found and returned untouched.

Miinukset: Tight bathroom

Plussat: Location to where I was trying to be and the suite was nice. Easy to connect to WiFi and front desk answered fast.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Fantastic - the room was great and clean, the staff was SO friendly, and for a non-mega hotel, the lobby was lovely, with the bar / breakfast nook so handy. I'll be back!

Miinukset: Nope!

Plussat: Excellent location, very inviting lobby area with handy cafe for breakfast and coffee, room was lovely and spacious and great value for money

Miinukset: Wish there was a ventilator fan in the bathroom

Plussat: The most thing I like here is the location, which is very convenience. Also, their front desk service is good~

Miinukset: I'm not satisfied with its room service, I ordered hot milk and they sent me the cold milk. Besides, the price of their room service is not worth from my view. So, just don't make room service, or you will be disappointed with its bad taste and unbelievable bill.

Plussat: Close to great retail stores

Miinukset: No dislikes

Plussat: The room was clean and extremely comfortable with a modern decor that I like. The location is fantastic.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Location was excellent. Rooms were modern and comfortable.

Miinukset: Noise from the ambulances and construction. Crappy attitude from bar staff on balcony.

Plussat: I really enjoyed how close it was to everything. The employees were very helpful.

Miinukset: I wish the price of the room included breakfast. There wasn't even complimentary coffee offered in the lobby. I had to pay $2.50. There was a coffee maker in the room but it just isn't the same. Get rid of the coffee makers and have pots of fresh coffee available in the lobby.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Loud, 1st night people shouting 2:30 am in the corridor, 2nd night wake up service in person knocking the doors, once no refill of coffee pads, never replacement of bottles in the bathroom (shampoo etc), before check out I wanted to get ready for my long trip back, but the room service had started cleaning and I found everything misplaced, the bathroom under water, cups on the carpet, no apoligies

Plussat: Location, location, location! A great hotel for a short break in Chicago -it's very close to Michigan Avenue (1 block) as well as restaurants, bars and nightlife. A really great all round hotel. I would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend it!

Miinukset: Nothing too bad. Just to be aware that it's under renovation, so the facade isn't as attractive as you would expect. But don't be put off, the rooms are beautiful and luxurious with all mod cons.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful clean rooms. A sense of safety and security.

Plussat: The staff was excellent and very helpful.

Plussat: The staff was terrific and our room, the only renovated one so far, was ideal.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: The quiet elegance

Miinukset: Not a single thing!

Plussat: Location was great. Neighborhood was very nice. Everything we needed we could walk there.

Miinukset: Parking at the hotel was too expensive.

Plussat: The location is nice for walking to restaurants and shops, it truly is a nice area to stay in. Lobby was beautiful.

Miinukset: They would not give me rooms with 2 double beds without assessing a 35.00 per room per day upcharge fee. I had one manager take the charge down to 20.00 extra each room and another manager who took the fees off completely of one room. NOT HAPPY!!!

Plussat: What a cozy hotel. So nostalgic and grand

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Location, bar, and staff were very nice.

Miinukset: There was a roach in my room.

Plussat: Staff was awesome.

Miinukset: Misleading on the room I got. It was a cracker box. They showed you big rooms and I didn't get what I thought I bought.

Plussat: I loved the hotel and the price ---$/night

Miinukset: The room is not brand new but it is ok

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: There was nothing complimentary except for the bare minimums. No coffee and single-ply toilet paper! Not acceptable for a 4-star!

Plussat: The Republica toiletries! They were amazing!

Miinukset: It was further north than expected but still in a great area.

Plussat: The lobby and lounge area are lovely!

Miinukset: Very small room, very uncomfortable bed, unprepared staff, poor tv connection.

Plussat: Lobby

Miinukset: How my booking was handled

Miinukset: No vending machines no ice maker broken maid service would not pickup used glasses from bar tv 18" bad reseption resturaent did"nt open till 5 . would not stay there again

Plussat: Old building, well kept up, in downtown Chicago. Excellent location, right near Lake Michigan.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice "old style" hotel, the room was g (with an useful space for the luggages), quiet and clean. Nice area, near Lincoln Park and near to the Lake.

Miinukset: The Wi Fi internet connection has to be paid.

Plussat: The hotel lobby is beautiful, the room was clean and comfortable and in a perfect location for my needs - 2 blocks from family.

Plussat: Apart from the fact that they told me they cannot take the accommodation cost from the credit card that I submitted to booking.com unless I sent them the credit card payment approval form and the second day they locked my door, they were fair in service as everywhere in the United States.

Miinukset: The method of communication was strange.

Miinukset: Parking was terrible!!!!

Plussat: The location was excellent. Price was excellent. Staff was friendly.

Plussat: the location,hotel itself, pump room was exciting to see all pictures of past stars,

Miinukset: we enjoyed our stay, one of older hotels and could have been updated but why?

Plussat: Location was excellent. Room was very nice. Staff was very friendly.

Plussat: comfort and amenities

Miinukset: bath tub drained slowly

Plussat: Location is key here. Down the street from Eataly and a ton of other restaurants.

Miinukset: This is NOT a hotel. This is a grown up hostel with little to any amenities. Free WiFi was probably the best thing about it. Had not stayed in a bunk bed since I was a kid and this was not a pleasant experience for an over 40 dad bod.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti oli loistava. Hinta-laatusuhde oli hyvä. Sisään- ja uloskirjautuminen oli nopeaa ja sujuvaa. Ehkä parempi lyhyeen vierailuun esim. viikonloppu kuin pidemmälle lomalle.

Miinukset: Huone oli todella pieni ja kylmä. Lämpöpuhallin toimi satunnaisesti. Aamiaista ei ollut saatavilla sillä hotellin kahvila oli remontissa. Tästä ei kuitenkaan ollut etukäteistietoa. Kuntosalia ei päässyt käyttämään sillä sekin oli remontissa. Henkilökunnassa oli muutama avulias ja ystävällinen ihminen. Muuten henkilökunta otti hyvin vähän kontaktia vieraisiin. Palvelu oli melko kaukaista ja kylmää.

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: This is a Hostel. Not so much a Hotel. If you are in your 20’s-30’s it’s Cool Trendy. But as a 60 plus year old. Please Emphasize that this is a Hostel!!.

Plussat: The theme stood out best based on how old fashioned it felt but with a new age flare on the inside. Additionally, the beds are comfortable, the shower pressure was awesome. Definitely greatly located in the middle of the city.

Miinukset: The lack of a substantial heating system at some times.

Plussat: Nothing at all.

Miinukset: This place was horrible from the staff to the room. The room was cold and the heater wasn't working properly. The hotel gave me a desktop portable heater. They didn't change the sheets because they said they do it every three days. The rooms are small

Miinukset: After prepaying for the hotel, at checkout I then had to pay another "Urban Fee". I was not told about this in advance. I've never had to pay a 2nd hotel bill at checkout, either at this hotel or any other. This seems criminal.

Plussat: Cleaniness of the shower room and toilet.

Miinukset: There is a paper lamp in the common area but unable to turn on light. Had to pack my luggage in dark.

Plussat: It was super affordable and in the heart of downtown

Miinukset: The rooms were a little small and I had a roommate. Inconveniences but not necessarily bad. I just didn't expect it

Plussat: I like that there are stores and restaurants surrounding the hotel and they are clean if you ask them to be

Miinukset: The Gay staff discriminated and were hostile for no reason. They gossiped and frequently told stories about guests, they also moved items around in the rooms to cause arguments between guests. They got tired of me asking them to give me fresh towels and bedsheets which they did not have to put on themselves. They made up lies and asked me to leave and then refused to give me a refund for the remainder of my stay including the day I was asked to leave. When one was caught lying the other staff covered for him and became hostile. I had to call the police to force them to begin the refund process.

Plussat: Cleanliness and location

Plussat: The location was really good, mostly because it was super close both to Eataly and Uno, which gave us the chance to find easy and good food during the pandemic. The area is also full of garages, which allow parking for a reasonable price.

Miinukset: The room was terrible. We stayed only for one night and we didn't pay so much; however, when I booked there were great hotels (like Hilton or Hyatt) that had a comparable price. Hotels that we already tried. We decided on the Freehand because of the Handshake in New York where we spent the New Year Eve, which was amazing. We thought we would have found the same vibes. The room was so small that both of us couldn't walk around at the same time; one of us needed to lie or be sitting on the bed, while the other was standing. We were lucky that Uno was open and allowed to eat in one of their tables outside because we could not have eaten any food in our room since it was so small and dark (always considering the Coronavirus lockdown). The room had a window, but it was close to a blindfold curtain because behind there was a wall with big pipes, so the room was in the dark. I thought with my usual positivity: "ok, I will sleep really well tonight since there is no light". However, at 7:30 in the morning, a continuous sound woke me up; I was unable to identify what it was, but it was like a mechanical sound (like the one produced by furnaces or elevators). The room was also not soundproofed (which I'm not complaining about), for this reason I know we had someone staying in a room around us. Considering that the hotel was maybe 10 or more levels tall, and it had at a maximum of 15/20 rooms booked (they made me sign a Coronavirus spreadsheet, so I know how many guests there were in that moment), it is still not clear to me the reason to give such a bad room and not have spread their guests a bit more, particularly because of the pandemic situation. I rarely write reviews, but this hotel experience was really bad, and it completely destroyed our expectations towards FreeHand.

Plussat: I liked the vibe of the hotel the most - there was a very eclectic mix of guests staying there. It felt like everyone, no matter who they were, fit in.

Miinukset: I did not like that the gym was not useable during my stay there. I also did not like that both the lighting in my room and bathroom were very dim - one of the two areas should have bright lighting for applying makeup/getting ready.
