Hotel was nice, spacious, and clean. Fridge and coffee maker in unit, but no microwave. Good location and a good place to stay. Amenities were nothing special. Internet was free, but virtually useless - I'm a network person and clocked my speeds consistently at 1/4 of traditional 56k dial-up. If you need to use the net (ie. business travelers), you'll... more

I stayed in the Silversmith for two nights during a recent business trip. I was pleased with the size of the room and the bathroom. Very spacious, especially for downtown Chicago at this price point. Pillows were a little lumpy. The internet was very, very, very slow. Many sites failed to load after five minutes. The hotel restaurant isn't anything... more

My husband and I were concerned about the negative reviews, but were pleasantly surprised when we found the hotel to be very nice and the staff were excellent. I approached each staff member with a smile and they were very kind in return. The room was large and the bathroom was very trendy and huge!! The room was clean and... more

If you are unfamiliar with Chicago and driving to the hotel, you will need to be a detective to actually find the hotel on Wabash. It will take you several trips around downtown Chicago to find it. Cool building and ok lobby. Not very welcoming or warm feeling. Nice lady at check in. The rooms, while large are about the... more

The hotel was a bit understated as far as the entrance goes since it really only has a doorway with little indication of what is there (I have stayed at the Palmer House a couple of times so compared to the big cheery entrances for the Palmer House, the Silversmith entrance is bizarre). Anyway, the staff was quite nice and... more

The Silversmith has a certain amount of deco charm, and the location is very convenient to Millenium Park and the L train, but those are the only things it has going for it. Our room faced a brick wall, but I think the only other option was to face the noisy L train, so perhaps we got the best option... more

Silversmith Hotel is an average hotel in a great location with a friendly staff. You are only a five minute walk from the Art Institute and Millennium Park and ten to fifteen minutes from Wacker Drive and the Chicago River. In terms of getting there, you are right next to multiple L routes and a couple of blocks from the... more

Overall, I was pretty happy with the room, the location and the price. No complaints or anything. I enjoyed my stay here and would return to the hotel. It's not super fancy but you need to ask yourself what you're looking for.. The hotel is located near the base of the L train and my first impression was that the... more

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Silversmith. I am not from Chicago but knowing friends who are, they informed me that I was definitely going to be in a great location being one block away from Millennium Park and Michigan Ave. Once I arrived, the bellmen were very prompt and had my luggage handled before I knew it.
