Stayed in Wyndham for a little Michigan Ave shopping prior to visiting the University of Chicago on a college road trip. Booked through TravelZoo and got a great rate with a suite upgrade. Great Location. We had a king suite that was spacious and welcoming. The breakfast in the dining room was outstanding. We have not seen that fresh of fruits on a breakfast buffet EVER. Highly recommend. Less than 1 mile from Millineum station. 1 block off Michigan. Great location for us. Bed comfortable. Do not recommend for families, appeared more business and professional oriented.

The Wyndham Chicago is conveniently located in downtown Chicago. It is easily accessible by the train (CTA) by taking the blue line to the red line, or if you have lots of luggage, then the blue line to a ~$6 cab ride. Michigan Avenue (shopping) is a couple blocks away, and so are some of the major attractions like navy pier, and some of the museums. The one problem we had with the hotel location was its proximity to a hospital. Luckily we noticed the noisy ambulances on our way to check in, so we specifically requested a room on one of the upper floors. We think this worked, as we didn’t hear them in our room.

The room was quite spacious – with a very COMFORTABLE king size bed, down comforter, and down pillows. We definitely got a good night’s sleep. The bathroom was large, and nicely decorated with granite counters. One of my pet peeves when travelling is the amount of shower pressure. Happy to say, this one passed the test! I was able to get all the shampoo out of my hair easily. The room was equipped with internet access (for a fee), TV, mini bar / fridge and free coffee.

There was a dining area on the 2nd floor with a reasonably priced menu – everything for $10. However, we didn’t eat there. There are just so many places in downtown Chicago we wanted to try out, and they were just a quick walk downstairs! There were multiple people managing the Concierge desk, so the wait to speak to someone wasn’t long. The Concierge was very knowledgeable and often gave us very specific walking directions / maps to wherever we wanted to go. There was also somewhere to leave your luggage on the 1st floor. We used this on the way in and out as our flight times did not match the check in time of 3:30p and check out of 11:00a.

All in all, we really enjoyed our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower had lots of pressure. We were in the heart of everything we wanted to see, yet not directly in the midst of the tourists – for a very reasonable price. We would definitely stay there again.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at the Wyndham Chicago for two days in June. The room was clean and very comfortable, and it was great to return to our hotel and enjoy the sauna, steam room, hot tub and pool next to the fitness center. Great hotel!
