My husband and I moved out of a Loop hotel to the Majestic for several days after a conference, and were very pleased. The staff provided excellent service, the hotel is charming, and the price was about $100/night less than the conference hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable, compact but perfectly adequate (and no smaller than a "business class" room we once had in London); the window faced a small courtyard between buildings instead of overlooking the street, but that helped make it quiet at night. The neighborhood nearby is full of small shops and restaurants, and has at least two large grocery stores. The hotel's continental breakfast includes not only bagels and muffins, but also instant oatmeal, cereals, and a variety of microwaveable breakfast sandwiches. Wireless Internet access is free (the conference hotel charged almost $15 a day). If you want to experience more of Chicago than the Loop, and plan to explore the city rather than look at it from a hotel window, the Majestic is an excellent choice.

This was the perfect hotel. It is a little off the beaten track of Chicago,yet is perfectly accessible to everything one might want to do in Chicago. The hotel has delicious cookies everyday and a great assortment of coffee and tea available to guests at all times. The concierge was wonderful and has many connections, thus he can set you up with a restaurant reservation, give you restaurant suggestions as well as for things to do.

I booked our stay in Chicago based on Wrigley Field. We were going to Chicago to see the Cubs play for my boyfriend's 50th birthday. We arrived late to the hotel after spending the day downtown, we pulled up to the front and we very pleased with the area. Our room was small but it was very comfortable. The staff were very helpful regarding places to eat and bus schedules. The breakfast was just enough to get us going for the day. We would recommend The Majestic Hotel for anyone going to see the Cubs. It was a nice short walk to the ballgame. Chicago is a very friendly and clean city. We will be back again. Go Cubs!!

When we decided to go to Wrigley Field this summer for a Cubs game I found the Majestic through Trip Advisor and I'm so glad I did. While it was probably the smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in -- the Standard room made the hotel rooms in Europe look spacious by comparison -- the staff was so nice and the property kept up so well that we didn't mind. The neighborhood is fantastic -- residential, quiet, with interesting stores and restaurants -- and very easy to navigate. Despite being in Wrigleyville, which is north of Lincoln Park (a 10-15 minute walk to Wrigley), it's actually very easy to get downtown. I highly recommend the 145 and 146 express buses; you pick these up on Lake Shore Drive, a five-minute walk away, and they drop you in midtown in less than 20 minutes (be sure to get a transit pass from the front desk, they're not very expensive). It's a lovely ride along the lakefront. What a bargain! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to other baseball fans and look forward to staying there again -- maybe next season!
