My husband and I got a great deal to stay at Hotel Felix for a long weekend. We were impressed with the sleek, eco-friendly design as well as the friendly, helpful staff .

STAFF: The staff was responsive and always greeted us with a smile. The front desk was always willing to print out directions to local restaurants and attractions. Housekeeping was friendly and always did a great, thorough job.

LOCATION: Hotel Felix is only a walking distance from the Chicago brown and red L lines just outside of the Loop. There is a Whole Foods and 711 within a block of the hotel and the Magnificent Mile is only a few blocks away. A few more blocks past that is the lake shore. Millennium Park is only about a 20 minute walk from the hotel with lots shopping and restaurants on the way.

ROOM As in most big cities, our room was pretty small, but extremely clean and comfortable (especially the fluffy, queen size bed). There is a flat screen HDTV with cable and an alarm clock radio complete with an ipod dock. The room is designed to be space efficient with storage drawers under the bed, a small alcove to hang a few clothes, shelved night stands and a cabinet in the bathroom. The bathroom was also very modern looking with a well sized shower stall complete with a rainfall shower head and nice variety of H20 bath products. The room was noise proof and we never heard neighbors or people in the hall.

FACILITIES The funky lounge was a great area for guests to hang out or enjoy coffee and tea in the morning. There is also a small gym on the 2nd floor and an Aveda Spa. We were pleased that the hotel offers free wi-fi, but found the connection to be very slow.

The hotel staff was great! Everyone was so helpful, and nice, and full of information. This is a new property, and the only silver LEED hotel in Chicago. The restaurant is not open, but there is everything that you could imagine nearby within walking distance. So, have very comfortable shoes. The room was small, but very comfortable. No tub, but a very large shower. Can't wait to return!!!!!!

Not sure how this hotel was reviewed so kindley? My cousin and I just stayed last night, 6/20/09 and booked through Hotwire.com. Payed a rediculous amount for this supposed 4 star hotel that had NO resturant on site (currently under construction), and a room so small.... you can whisper to someone on the toilet while lying in bed. Speaking of the bed... lumpy is how we best described it. We stayed on 2nd floor facing front of hotel and could hear Valet attendant or "person with top hat" (they said they didn't have a doorman) talking loudly very late and then at the crack of dawn. An alarm clock in the room went off at 0620 am and we certainly didn't set it! Stayed in much... better for alot less. Never again.

The staff were tripping over themselves to make sure we were happy. I left my phone in my car and within minutes the doormanhad brought it up to our room.The room was SOOO comfy and nicely appointed. We heard some of the rooms were on the small side so we asked for a larger room and it was just fine. The decor was so relaxing and the black out curtains were perfect for shutting out the world. We also had massages at the spa which were wonderful. We plan to stay again next time we visit. Hoepfully they don't get bought out by a chain for I fear if that happens the personal touch will be lost.
