Even though the hotel is still under construction, besides some work to the hotel drive in area, I did not notice any noise or construction traffic.

The reception area is modern and very Trump, and as soon as I stepped out of our sedan we were immediately treated "as royalty." Our bags were swooped up and our room keys quickly distributed.

We had a Deluxe King City View room on the 23rd floor. I believe that this is the smallest and cheapest of the rooms. But as soon as we opened the room to the door, we were blown away. The view to the city is unprecedented, and every detail of the room is upgraded even compared to a luxury hotel. The bathrooms are huge, deep soaking tubs lay adjacent to a rain showerhead and shower area all enclosed in semi-frameless glass doors. THERE IS EVEN A FLAT SCREEN TV IN THE BATHROOM MIRROR!

The room was amazing! Simply Spectacular!

My wife and I also tried out the Trump Spa, we both booked 90 minute Trump Massages. They were the best massages that we both have ever received. I highly recommend the Trump Massage. And arrive a little early so you can enjoy the other Spa amenities and the relaxing lounge area.

The location is also perfect, right in downtown just a few blocks from the best shopping in Chicago.

I highly recommend this hotel and I hope that the rates do not go up too much once construction finishes so that I can come back for my next trip to Chicago.

From when you check in to when you check out you will be treated like Donald himself.
Visited Chicago for a weekend in April. Weather was perfect and the hotel could not have been any better. We got upgraded to a suite over looking the river and the lake.
They are still building the upper floors but you would not have known unless you looked up.
The spa is a great experience. Just the pool and shower alone is worth the short elevator ride.
Sixteen is the best meal I have had in a long time. I highly suggest the tasting menu. Worth every penny.

Booked a room at the Chicago Trump on Valentine's Day. The hotel hadn't officially opened yet, and so scored a great rate on the grand deluxe 1-bedroom suite.

To be honest I really wanted to hate this hotel, but upon my night's stay I have to admit that it is instantly competitive with Chicago’s finest five-star properties.

The lobby is small and, check-in was quite pleasant. Readily available employees everywhere you look, but nonintrusive at the same time.

Decor is very pleasant- very minimalist and modern, and everywhere you look there are panoramic views of the Chicago skyline, river and lake Michigan.

Suite was HUGE. 1,000+ SQ feet, could have entertained 60-70 easily. Floor to ceiling windows with fabulous views (see pix) and great full kitchen with everything you’d need to make five-star meal (they actually offer in-room chef service).

Recommend both Sixteen and ReBar for views and food that compete with other fine dining establishments as well as hotel bars. Can’t wait for Sixteen’s patio to open summer of 2009.

My husband and I stayed at Trump for our 5th wedding anniversary this past weekend. I had high expectations, however many of them were not met based on the ratings of the hotel. We live in the suburbs of Chicago and are well traveled.

The Pro's:
Location is fabulous; especially if you are not from Chicago you can walk to just about everything and the cab rides are short if you prefer to take one.

The room is gorgeous! The bed is one of the best we've ever stayed in and the mini-full kitchen was great for heating up our left overs the next day. We found the amenities to be well thought out and well appointed. Plus the touches like framed photos in the room were very chic and homey at the same time.

You will never find a better bathrobe in your life.

They accommodated our bikes which we drove in with to do a biking event and kept safely down near the security office. No problems.

The Con's:
We booked an elaborate VIP spa package; the massages were about a 6/10 in quality (but that is subjective, I'm sure) and the fancy baths that were drawn for us could have cooked a lobster they were so hot. I had to run ice cold water in it for 5 minutes straight to make it manageable - and for $550 for this treatment, I didn't expect to have to draw my own bath. Very disappointing.

The service was...cool. No one was rude or impolite, but as I mentioned before we stayed for 2 nights in a deluxe room for our 5 year anniversary and despite wanting to know the special reason for our stay when we booked the room, they did nothing with this information. For touting this level of service, we were both disappointed that no effort was made to go above and beyond.

Faulty charges were on our room with little to apologize or compensate for us catching the $160 error.

Overall, I won't be running back to spend this kind of cash at this facility. The restaurant at Sixteen is stunning, although we did not dine there. The excitement of being at a Trump facility left something to be desired, as we expected more from this high class hotel.
