I stayed here while attending a conference at the Marriott across the street. This was cheaper and more comfortable. As other reviewers have noted, this is a gem of a hotel. It's a true suite, with living room, full kitchen, and bedroom. The living room has a sofabed, sitting chair, coffee table and 32" LCD TV. There is a small dining table/desk next to the kitchen. The kitchen has microwave, two burner oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, fridge. Also plates, pots/pans and silverware. The room was clean and comfortable with no obvious signs of wear. The king size bed was also comfy, though not as high end as you would find in a nicer hotel. There is a regular tube TV in the bedroom. The free buffet breakfast had scrambled eggs, meats, cereal, make your own waffles, etc. There is also a dinner with a different menu Mon-Thurs but I did not have that. There is a gym inhouse, but you can use the Crunch gym next door (same building) that is much bigger and has everything. The entrance is not much to look at; just an elevator to the sixth floor where reception is. But the bellman was friendly and the reception desk was efficient and very friendly. It does cost a lot to park here (I think $42/night so don't bring a car). There is a small store next to reception, open 24/7. Free wired and wireless internet in the room. Only minor complaint is that the walls are somewhat thin so if the neighbor raises his voice I can hear it. Also, I can hear water running next door. But all in all I would definitely stay here again. It's much more comfortable and better value than the big hotels nearby.

Just a really nice place, great service, big rooms, excellent value, everyone seemed to be having a good time , loved the buffet meals,

What a great hotel! We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The room was homely with an enormous bed, just the ticket after a days sight seeing. There was a buffet breakfast and dinner included in the price and with free access to a gym and pool, this hotel is incredible value. The staff were really friendly and only too willing to recommend good places to eat and drink. Homewoods was just a few minutes walk of the Mag Mile which makes this hotel a great base when visiting Chicago. I would definately stay here again in the future!

Our Amtrak train was very late and Amtrak put us up in the Homewood Suites for the nite. A very nice hotel and the staff were super nice. The suites had a dishwasher, fridge and a nice flat screen tv. A great view from our floor as well. An unexpected hotel stay but one that we will remember for a long time to come. And the free breakfast was super as well.
