The Sax was just perfect for us. We got a fantastic deal through travelzoo for $109 which included free parking and two drinks at the bar.
Checked in early and requested a Chicago River view, which was awesome, we got to watch the river turn green from the comfort of our room!
The staff across the board could not have been more helpful. Our room, while not huge was comfortable, clean and well appointed.
It was so great to walk next door at night and catch a show at The House of Blues too!
The hotel bar was swank, comfortable and the staff was wonderful.

I LOVED the Hotel Sax! I stayed here for 3 nights for a business trip, and spent most of it in the hotel because of my meetings and the bad weather outside. My 14th floor room was large with a nice view of the Chicago River. It had a very comfortable beds, fluffy towels, nice bathrobes, and great toiletries. It was silent in my room -- I couldn't hear people in the hallways, the TV next door, or the traffic outside. And despite being on the 14th floor the elevators came very quickly. Good wireless connections, and free Internet access with printers in the lobby so you can print out boarding passes and the like.

One minor complaint - The room is lit by about 6 lamps, so to get the lighting level I wanted I had to walk around the room and turn them all on.

My only complaint about value is the fees tacked onto the room service bill -- I order a $9 salad and $11 pizza, and got a $36 bill. They also have the snacks and mini-bar drinks on some sort of touch-sensitive tray so that they know when you touch them, which is a bit much.

everything was fantastic here. rooms were beautiful. beds were very comfy. shower was great. view was great. location was great. price was great. Highly recommended! the only thing they need are vending machines. it's hard to find a coke for a reasonable price (under $3)

I usually stay at the Palmer House or Drake when I am in Chicago, but opted for this little gem because they had a special of $109. with free parking which in Chicago is worth $40 a day.

Check-in was a breeze, front desk staff and and everyone I came in contact with was super. Room was a little small (1526) but nicely furnished; large plasma TV on wall very nice. Quiet area, good dinner choices within a block. Easy CTA (bus) service into the loop.

They also gave me two drink coupons which I used in the Crimson Lounge which is a large nicely furnished bar area. Free internet terminals are available in the lobby.

Workout room was okay, three treadmills, three elipticals and some free weights. Two televisions mounted on the wall, no headphone jacks. I was the only one working out so it wasn't an issue.

Definitely somewhere I would consider again. For weekend visitors parking on the street is free after 6 p.m. on Saturday all day Sunday until 8:00 a.m. Monday. I had no trouble finding street parking if you don't get free parking in your rate.

Cheers.
