I booked this hotel for a father/daughter weekend (teen concert at the Aragon Ballroom). I expected a fair deal based on TripAdvisor reviews I had read. What I got was an excellent deal: for $134 per night I received friendly, competent service; a comfortable room (carpets were worn but not threadbare like some of the reviews made it seem); great location on the Magnificent Mile; and a terrific pub downstairs -- what pubs are supposed to be: a place for families to enjoy warm company, good hearty food, and for the adults, delicious beer. My only issue was during the first night there, a bunch of 20-somethings arrived in their room next door to mine at 4:30 AM and were very obnoxious, but the hotel staff quieted them within 10 minutes of my complaint call. I'll eagerly book another stay at the Hotel Fitzpatrick next time I visit Chicago.

Great place tucked one block off Michigan Ave. Nice reception by the bell man and rooms ready by 3:00 pm. The rooms are nice and large with sitting area. Yes the baths are small but adequate and clean. The room carpeting could use soom updating. The beds are absolutley comfortable. The elevators were never busy because of the size of hotel. Ordered coffee in the morning it only took five minutes, that's service. The Fitzer pub downstairs is a nice relaxing place to unwind after a long day shopping and Manny the bar tender pours a great drink and has personality. All in all enjoyed the stay and will come back.

We recently returned from Chicago staying 5 nights at the Fitzpatrick Hotel. I have pros and cons regarding our stay. Cons - dirty grey caulking around the tub and floor area around the toilets. The king suite had a dirty grey looking carpet, but I think it is supposed to be beige, anyway dirty beige. They try to decorate the lobby now with Christmas decorations which is fine, but overall small and starting to look tired. I always bring lysol wipes to wipe down door knobs, taps, toilet handle, phones etc. (If you watch Dateline at all, you will understand why you should do this when staying at hotels). The wipes came up grey. The bathroom door had many fingerprints on it, and the closet door had something spilled down it and was left to dry on its own.
I went downstairs to the bar to buy bottled water, as the bar fridge is completely empty...nothing, and the charge was $6.00 for 1 small bottle of sparkling water and a regular bottle of mineral water. We were too tired to go somewhere else as it was late.
Pros - location, great staff, nice pub type bar downstairs, comfortable bed and OK breakfasts. The breakfast could have more fresh cut up fruit, but this is minor. Staff helpful arranging private car for us on one of our outings. Terrific restaurant Tru just down the street, short walk.
I see there will be construction going on, right beside the hotel during the next few months, so I would enquire about this before booking.

What a depressing place to stay

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights last week. The hotel is just screaming out for refurbishment. The suites are currently being sold to investors here in Ireland and perhaps the money generated from the sales will go towards a good clean up.
The carpets in the reception area and our room were threadbare, badly stained and very, very shabby. The comforter on the bed had definitly seen better days - I would even question letting my dogs sleep on it. There were suspect stains and 'crusty' attachments in places - Awful!
The room itself was very dark - although it was only a junior suite located at the back of the hotel. The windows were absolutely filthy. We found the room to be very depressing and it reminded us of a shabby country house of the 'olde Ireland' era of about 50 years ago - shabby, crumpled & best forgotten.
No doubt from the other reviews many disagree but this was our experience. We had booked the hotel because we had held our wedding reception in Fitzpatricks Castle Hotel in Dublin a number of years ago - however this branch of the hotel was a very sad disappointment in comparison.
On the plus side the location was excellent, the bathroom was small but clean and the towels were nice. The bar was also nicely decorated and had a nice atmosphere. Personally I can only say that I would not stay in this Hotel again, even if the room was for free.

Despite paying for 2 non-smoking rooms in advance they had sold our rooms and only gave us non-smoking rooms when we made a fuss. Avoid room 2807 it is beside some kind of generator. The looby looks rather tired. Otherwise excellent location, friendly staff and nice rooms.
