Extremely convenient location and great restaurant, but parking too expensive at $84 a night and the bathroom in our room was a little dirty upon our arrival.

It was okay, but I expected much more from the W Hotel. It’s known for its excellence but it was kinda old looking and the rooms were very lackluster with old bathroom setup and hardly any storage.

It felt like the place has been rundown and the service was subpar. They placed a huge hold on my credit card and it wasn’t removed for a week after I stayed there. I called him to request an update on what’s going on and have been transferred like to three different people homework really helpful. In terms of facility felt super bare. I expected to be much more premium and frankly felt very basic. The room did not even have a refrigerator let alone any minibar or any kind of goodies. It felt more like a cheap motel rather than an upscale establishment. I asked at the reception and they said the mini fridge is upon request and used Covid as an excuse. And Covid was 4 years ago, get with the program…

Excellent location for getting to Navy Pier and the lakeshore trail, which was great for me as I enjoy running. The pool was nice, if a little chilly, and even though I didn’t use the gym it looked well equipped. Staff were all very friendly, breakfast was extensive and of a good portion size. The hotel was about a 10-15 minute walk from the centre of Chicago. Would definitely stay there again.

This property is not W quality as it has not been maintained. The white grout in the bathroom has been covered in black sharpee, very poorly, with marks all over the tiles - very unprofessional. I could also hear conversations in the hallway and other rooms very clearly, so the soundproofing was weak. Scuffs were everywhere, touch up painting has not been done for years. Did not feel like a 4 stare hotel.
