My husband and I and two friends spent the weekend at Hotel Monaco. Our rooms were updated, clean and attractive. The hotel staff was outstanding--friendly and always willing to out of the way to find answers to questions or provide suggestions. Several additional features would encourage us to return besides the good location (close to the river and a block... more

Very centrally located in the Loop directly south of the 7th Day Adventist Church (my room looked down upon Wacker Drive, the aforementioned church and the Chicago River. Small room, virtually no storage space. Attended a conference with the Monaco as venue. They provided adequate service, with no problems. This was the first time I spent with a Kimpton Hotel... more

Stayed at Hotel Monaco, Chicago for 5 nights on business and I was very impressed. The staff was friendly from the time I checked in. The concierge was helpful with reservations for restaurants and even got us a reservation at a place that normally doesn't take them. My room had a beautiful view of the Chicago river. There was some... more

Nice size room, very nice staff and great location!! more

My time at the Hotel Monaco was a wonderful experience. I had never traveled to Chicago and relied upon reviews and my previous stays at Kimpton hotels to choose my hotel. My experience far surpassed my expectations. The Monaco is in a perfect location. It's within blocks of all CTA locations, and the primary Metra location is also very close.... more

The furnishings were very nice but the bathroom was small and spartan with lmiited toiletries. I have stayed at Hotel Monacos in DC, Denver and Portland, and Chicago suffers... more

I was disappointed during my recent stay for a conference. Given the favorable reviews, I was anticipating a much happier experience. Several things were just "off". Although check-in time is posted at three, our room wasn't ready until 4:30. The desk staff appeared either overwhelmed or disinterested. For instance, as I was leaving one day, the counter person asked "Shall... more

We stayed five nights at the Hotel Monaco, opting out of the better chains, primarily basing our decision to stay on the reputation of the Kimpton Hotel chain and the Travel Advisor ranking. Even though we stayed during a convention--understandably there's little choice in rooms--, we would have expected better. We arrived at 12:30 PM and were shown two rooms... more

This review is rather late, but I had some time to think about what I wanted to write & essentially we (my husband & I) had a great stay. My only complaint was that I slept very little due to very loud construction noise (i.e. jackhammers, etc) which was a result of the city doing roadwork the entire weekend of... more
