I stayed three nights here while attending an on-site conference. Yes, there is a large bar in the middle of the lobby where there seemed to always be a crowd. But I don't go to hotels because I want a quiet lobby. However, it seemed I could never figure out which way I had to go to get to the... more

Had a great 3 nights at this Marriot in the middle of November. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was excellent, right on Michigan Avenue and two blocks from the red line. Room was small but nice; bed was very comfortable. However, bathroom was outdated, and closet was too small. Also, elevators are the slowest I have ever... more

Silver member Marriott but booked club level room because there were few choices in Chicago for the dates we needed and king-size bed was promised. Not so on arrival, we got a room with two double beds. We were on the 40th floor with a large window facing west, great view but the window was a patio door assembly bolted... more

For the past three or four years, the Marriott Downtown was my choice of hotel to stay at in Chicago. It was conveniently located, clean and pleasant if a bit pricey. Recently, the hotel underwent a renovation, and I have to say that I will be looking for a different hotel during my next trip. In the center of the... more

I am a very frequent business traveler and stay at Marriott almost 100% of the time. Needless to say, I have had many experiences at Marriott properties - from catagory 1 to category 7. I am very confident when I say that this Marriott has hands-down some of the best service I have encountered! Everything, from check-in to valet to... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel from Oct. 13th through the 17th for a small vacation. You really can't beat the location, as the hotel has two entrances - one from Michigan Ave. and one from Rush st. Everything is right at your doorstep...shopping, restaurants...and most of the sights aren't very far away from you either. The only... more

We got a fabulous price through Priceline for three nights at this hotel. We were in Room 2034, which was larger than expected, clean, and attractively decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was the 'new' duvet style. The window was nearly floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall, offering us great views of the city lights at night. In the morning,... more

This is a very average Marriott, by even Marriott standards. The hotel rooms are a bit small. It was definitely a squeeze with two people in a two double bed room. The rooms were a bit dated as well as the furnishings and bedspread. I even found burnt marks on the bedding. The concierge staff, is terrible. Although nice, they... more

I was very impressed when I first arrived at the hotel. The lobby is tastfully decorated and there is a large bar/seating area for you to have a drink. There is also a Starbucks by Check in, which was also an added bonus! It took quite a while from the airport to downtown as there is only one main road... more
