Wanting to stay in the Michigan Mile area for my first time Chicago visitor friend, I debated between this property and several others near the Magnificent Mile...including the Allerton, the Four Points Sheraton and the Courtyard Marriott.
I am so pleased with my decision to stay at the Wyndham. Booking on the Wyndham website offered me the best rate.
Check in couldn't have been more efficient and smooth. I was offered an upgrade to a Corner Suite for $30 extra a nite. I wanted to see the difference, so at first I declined. The standard room I was given was nice, and clean and well appointed. Had it been just me traveling, it might have been ok. The view was not spectacular in this room as I guess many on that side of the hotel are since they directly face a 16 story wall next door. Like I said, for the business traveler or someone who doesn't mind that view, it would have been just fine.
I wanted to have a lil more room and a great view for my first time guest, so I opted for the suite. I can honestly say this was the best $30 I spent all weekend. (per nite). It made ALL the DIFFERENCE. The room was larger by about 100 sq feet or more and the view from 4 huge windows was great. Just what we needed.
The hotel itself was very quiet all weekend and the staff and housekeeping never bothered us at all. The bathrooms were all marble and very updated and also had a full size tub too.
I am reaching to find ANY vice, but the only one that I can account for is the Northwestern Hospital across the street. The "almost every 10 minute" ambulance arrivals were annoying at first but can't make a dent in the overall enjoyment of our stay. But this, of course, is not the fault of the hotel, so they still get top marks from me.
The trick is, get a high floor room, and these sirens may fade a tad.
Across the street, what luck! A Corner Bakery ...grab breakfast and then hit the town!
Do your homework, but for me, this will be my choice for a repeat visit to the Windy City.
Thanks Wyndham!
