I stayed here before and still like it. The lobby, hallways, and rooms are all nicely furnished and decorated. The staff especially is worth returning for... the employees I dealt with were all very nice, efficient, and accommodating. I couldn't figure out how to set the clock, and my kids weren't with me to do it for me, so the hotel promptly sent up the engineer... who took care of the problem. He also turned off the alarm next door (I think they must have had a brief power outage due to thunderstorms.)

I had a room (1609) on the next to top floor, with a pretty good view for this hotel - other buildings in downtown Chicago. The room was nice enough, although they still have the old style TVs. I would have liked HDTV for the NBA playoffs. I'm also not crazy about the single cup coffee makers. The two pods they provide equal two small cups of coffee in the morning. I need more. Other than that, the room was fine... the bed was comfortable, there were sufficient outlets, and an armchair and hassock to relax on.

I like having Wyndham by Request, which gives me (my choice) two bottles of Coke, two bottles of water, and a bag of mixed nuts... all waiting on my desk for my arrival the first day.

Room service for dinner was very disappointing this time... almost inedible. I had the same meal that I enjoyed immensely back in January (braised boneless short ribs on noodles, with an awful topping of horseradish creme fraiche). I wonder if maybe they changed management or cooks in the restaurant.

It sounds like I'm complaining a lot, but I would definitely stay here again. It's very convenient to downtown Chicago, and a genuinely nice place to stay.

This is a classy hotel, but an affordable one.

We liked this Wyndam for its location and clean, updated rooms. You are two blocks from Crate and Barrell on Michigan/Erie and 6 blocks from Lake Michigan. There is a nice lobby on the 2nd floor as well.

The rooms are well appointed with all you would expect from a 4 star hotel. Our king room was clean and comfortable. Our only beef was that there was a buzzing sound which is pretty common in these older Chicago buildings. It sounded like someone was showering or running the a/c the entire time. We asked housekeeping and they said the hotel could not fix it. So don't expect an entirely sound proof room.

Overall, a good choice for downtown Chicago.

Wife and I stayed for one night--everything we expected. Room was comfortable and in good shape. Bathroom was well appointed. Bar was nice. Nothing really spectacular but more than met our needs. Light sleepers may not like location due to frequent sirens from ambulances going to Northwestern Hospital located across the street, otherwise the location is excellent. Would definitely stay here again especially for less than $130 a night.

When I go to Chicago I like to stay at the W Lakeshore and on one trip the hotel was full so I booked at the Wyndham. I joked with friends that I was staying at the "faux W". I must say I was very happy with the Wyndham and would stay here again.

Pros: Staff and Concierge were very knowledgeable about nightlife and restaurants in Chicago. The staff was also very friendly and willing to help. Rooms and beds were huge. Perfect location -- A two minute walk to Michigan Ave and close to Gold Coast, Rush Street, Lake Michigan.

Cons: For young singles this is not a "scene" with a great bar or restaurant.
