Hotels near Stephen A. Douglas Tomb and Memorial

"Me gustó mucho"

"This hotel definitely shows it age. The common areas are generally well maintained and look dated but extravagant. The room we were in had a good view of the city and the location was perfect for what we were there for. While we paid $140+ per night, this hotel reminds me of those seedy little $30/night motels. It was listed at a much cheaper rate (deceptive advertising that is common these days). --THE BAD-- - The floor while it looked clean, left socks and feet dirty. - The AC unit did not work. While it blew air (even when off) it was not cold or hot, as such I would not recommend this hotel for a summer or winter stay, we were boiling with the windows open a crack (security windows on the 7th floor). - Toilet ran and would loudly refill every couple minutes. Also did not flush properly. - broken floor tiles in the bathroom - Water would only get slightly warm IF you left it run for 5-10 minutes first. Hope you like cold showers. - Easy to get lost in this massive old building with many doors and elevators leading to only a select area. --THE GOOD-- - Location was perfect for us, right off of Michigan Ave and a few blocks from the bean as well as the location we were headed to. - The bed, while small was firm, comfortable and felt newer? The pillows were great! - Elevator, while older than dirt (peeling wallpaper) was fast, shook like crazy but fast. - Other than the noise from the open windows (trains constantly going by), it was quiet at appropriate times."

"Rooms were infrequently cleaned and we had to request soap and new towels (no we didn’t have our (no housekeeping) sign up). Other than that it was a nice stay."

"The room was spacious and clean.The hotel was close to many shops and restairants, but still quiet. There was a fire station across the street that deployed fire trucks and ambulances very frequently, but it didn't actually disturb us during the night, just be aware if you're sensitive to something like that. The staff were very professional and polite. The lobby was very modern and clean with plenty of places to lounge and also sit and eat or work. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be microwaves in the rooms, but there was one in the lobby for use. We did have a small fridge in our room, but it was just on the floor and not very easy to get to. Overall, the room worked well for us and we will definitely consider staying again! "

"Nice historic venue. Rooms were a little musty and bathroom could have been fresher. The lobby was great."

"Beautiful property and awesome staff and customer service."

" Beautiful, clean room with an incredible downtown Chicago view. Totally worth it"

"Great check in and check out experience"

"No elevator should be in bold. I had a bike with me and the narrow stairs were tough. Room's carpet looked like my friends rugby house floor after 3 years of not vacuuming and partying. Front desk saw me with a bike and still gave me a top floor room. Lady wandering the hotel knocking on all the doors looking for a relative she hadn't seen in years. It was OK for the money. Next time I'll spend a little more and stay where they clean things. Maybe even a fridge in the room."
