Just got back from a 4 night stay at the Omni Michigan Avenue and it was without a doubt one of the most remarkable hotel stays we've had in years. During 4 days of our comings and goings, at all and sundry hours, not a single staff member missed a beat -- we were always greeted with a Hello and a Smile by everyone from the doorman to the desk to personnel in the hallways. Doors were opened for us, elevators held and even buttons pushed when our hands were full. Room service appeared when we asked it to and was absolutely delicious, and on a trolley that folds out to a full round table so you aren't stuck eating at the desk or the sofa. And when I called to have the trolley removed, they asked how I'd enjoyed my food - using my name and referring to the actual dishes I'd ordered. Not a single member of the staff was ever too pre-occupied with his/her own work (and never chatter) to engage us as soon as we appeared and consistently went the extra mile even for the most simple requests.
The room itself was very nice, impeccably clean, and very large and the hotel has one of the best spots on the Mag Mile. But it's the service that stands out in my mind above all. I'm from Chicago and return a number of times each year and have stayed at the Peninsula, Four Seasons, Ritz, many of the Hyatts and Hiltons. I tried out the Omni because of the reviews on there and simply can't imagine staying anywhere else next time I'm in Chicago. Congratulations to this team and the GM on impressing the value of these "little things" that make a stay smooth and so memorable.
