“Kinda Weird Actually”

Hotel Sax Chicago

Apr 18, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My company has a business rate with this location, and of all the Chicago area hotels I'm really shocked they chose this one. Most of my younger early 20-something colleagues tend to like this location, but I'm not completely sold on it.

I find they're trying so hard to be trendy that it becomes annoying.

All of my contacts with the staff were very pleasant.

Gettting to the room proved tough as the sixth floor was very dark, and the rooms were poorly labeled.

The room was comfortable and plush, but again tried too hard to be trendy. I found the bathroom to be odd. With a long walk from the shower to the sink counter top on a cold floor. Had I stayed long I'd have requested extra bath towels simply to "carpet" the floor.

I did not use the hotel's internet service, but did use their valet parking which I found to be very expensive ($42 Feb 2008), but probably on par with what other downtown hotels charge.

“Perfect”

Hotel Sax Chicago

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Omaha, NE
Mar 24, 2008

Junior Suite was perfect for me and my 2 teenage daughters! King bed with wall mounted flat screen and living room area with a sleeper sofa with its own wall mounted flat screen. If bed privacy is an issue, this arrangement would not work because all that seperates the 2 sleeping areas is a sheer chiffon curtain. Bath area is gigantic with floor to ceiling windows, 2 sinks, large amt of counter space. Housekeeping was very attentive. Evening concierge, Mario...helped out with printing airline boarding passes at a certain time, even though we werent even at the hotel at the time they needed to printed. He was very accomodating Hotel is as close to everything as you need to be. Big city so you cant be walking distance to everything but definitely is in the middle of all. House of Blues is right across the driveway from the hotel and we enjoyed the Sunday afternoon Gospel Brunch......buffet style... so by the time you make it back to your table, food is cold but that happens at every buffet. Should have more that 2 guys preparing omelettes. Would stay there again for sure!!! Adult atmosphere...wouldnt be a place I would stay with young kids. Nothing is geared for youngsters. GOOD!

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Sax and we loved it! We were attending the House of Blues, excellent location just out the door and we were there. The staff was friendly and did everything to make sure our stay was a great one! Conceirge was able to get us reservations in the Foundation Room at the HOB, what a place! Doorman was the absolute best! It is our new home in Chicago! T

“Trendy, upscale hotel”

Hotel Sax Chicago

Feb 18, 2008

What a great hotel!! The bed area of the rooms are on the small side, but the bathrooms are absolutely huge! What beautiful decor. There was jazz music playing in our room when we first got there, which was a nice touch. The bed was so comfortable, and there is a huge flat screen tv mounted on the wall. The location was perfect. Walking distance to almost everything in downtown Chicago (shopping, theatre district, Millennium Park, etc.) Although we did not go there, the Crimson Lounge in the lobby looked like a great place for drinks and dancing.
We had a great, romantic weekend at the Hotel Sax.

“Adored this hotel!”

Champaign IL
Feb 18, 2008

We stayed at the Hotel Sax this past weekend for my birthday and LOVED it! The staff were so friendly, helpful and courteous. The location was amazing, right next to the House of Blues and 1/2 block from all kinds of restaurants and bars. The concierge service was AMAZING! He was helpful, answered our questions thoroughly and even gave us passes to get into Howl at the Moon. I was also very surprised by a birthday treat sent up to my room.

The decor is really quite beautiful and the choices of places to eat, drink and even bowl were great! We actually came back to the hotel after dinner and some time out and spent time in both the Crimson Lounge and 10 Pin the wacky bowling alley!
