We stopped at this hotel on the 17th and 18th of September, we'd never been to chicago so wanted a hotel fairly central, its over looks the river and is a 5-10 minute walk to the magnificent mile. The room was large and clean and the decor as described on the hotel web site. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful.
When looking for a hotel we didn't want to pay a fortune but wanted a 3* or above hotel, we found that hotels in Chicago tended to be on the expensive side compared to other cities (Las vegas, New York, San fransisco).
We paid £125 a night taking into account the other hotels we looked at we feel we had value for money and would recommend this hotel to others.

I stayed in room #908 for three nights during a tradeshow at McCormick Place. The concierge Amy was terrific. I had to call her in advance of my trip to make some special transportation arrangements and she was all over my request and contacted me with frequent updates. The front desk was friendly and quick. My room was generously sized with a comfortable king size bed.

Yes, there was construction but I didn't find it any more disruptive than regular city noise. In fact, I stayed in my room late one morning to finish a presentation and hardly noticed it.

Terrific location with a VTK (Vong's Vietnam Kitchen) next door with fast take out service if you want something good eat but don't want to eat alone or order from room service.

We recently traveled to Chicago for the first time for a weekend getaway. We decided on the House of Blues Hotel because of location and reviews. We also wanted to go to the Gospel Brunch next door on Sunday. The hotel was booked full the night before, but they were still able to let us check in early. The staff was very friendly. The room was very nice and the bed was comfortable. The only downer to the room was the mini bar, which like all mini bars is way overpriced. When you pay that much for a room, they should just give youa bottle of water! The bathroom was fine, but the tub / shower was more of a shower. You would have to work hard to fit into the tub. It was 1/2 to 3/4 size. Everything else was good. The bell station was helpful and kept our bags while we looked around some more on Sunday. We had a great stay.

I was very disappointed in my stay here. Staff at the front desk was rude. When I called down for towels it took them 45 minutes to bring them up. The hotel is beautiful but that doesn't make up for the poor service!
