My husband and I just returned from a fantastic stay at Hotel Indigo. It was unlike any hotel we had ever stayed at. The decor had a chic, beachy feel and we couldn't help but smile at all the warm and vibrant colors that surrounded us. It has a central location; is close to the Magnificent Mile, Lakeshore Drive and popular Rush Street. The staff was kind and offered their advice for the many questions we had since this was our first trip to Chicago. We are already looking forward to our next trip and we will definitely stay at Hotel Indigo again:)

This hotel is beautiful and "fancy" but everyone there very down to earth and we were comfortable.

The elegance of this hotel was so unique but the staff were always available for any of our needs. We felt very much at home here and hope others learn of our secret of "Hotel Indigo." Can't wait to go back.

I got a great deal here through a third party, and as usual, had little recourse when things went bad. (You get what you pay for.)

If you're planning to stay here, you should know that the facility itself is showing significant signs of wear and tear. My room was poorly maintained -- significant rusting on the cheap-looking bathroom light fixture, serious mold on the ceiling above the shower, brown nicotine residue on the previously-nice white furniture and television screen, masses of dust on everything from the window ledge to the throw pillows on the bed. Smoke detector hanging from the ceiling by bare wires, set off by every cloud of steam from the shower.

Oh, and the wireless signal was terrible. I called down. "That side of the building is spotty, sir." (Then fix it.) At least she offered to move me, but it was two o'clock in the morning. I declined, passed out, woke up sniffling, sneezing and scratching my eyes thanks to dust allergies. I never got around to moving -- too busy working.

Bottom line - once-nice facility held back by terrible housekeeping and maintenance teams. Management can argue or self-flagellate all it wants on Tripadvisor; maybe less time doing that and more time spent training the depressingly mediocre staff. Thanks in advance!

the hotel is small and nice. staff are friendly. and it is in close proximity to the magnificent mile - the main attraction of the city.

downsides: the breakfast options are soooo limited and the bathroom is small. The rate was around $250/night.. can be a bit better.

overall... it is a good hotel if you plan to spend most of your time on the road between meetings and siteseeing.

My girlfriend from Tennessee and I stayed here after receiving a recommendation from my BIL who stays here frequently for business. We were going to stay way out in Oakbrook due to $$ issues, but we have absolutely NO regrets for spending a bit more and staying at Hotel Indigo. The location is perfect, perfect, perfect and the hotel itself is wonderful. We really enjoyed it. So much is convenient: Starbucks, a Walgreens, Dunkin Donuts, clubs, restaurants and the Red line of the CTA.
I used the little workout room on Saturday morning and felt it was generously appointed for a hotel gym. Really enjoyed the decorating, room design, comfortable beds, and Aveda products in the room. The hotel staff were very helpful on Friday when I was driving in from Michigan and gave me a turn-by-turn to get to the hotel when I couldn't handle the freeway anymore.
One note: maybe it's just because I'm small-town, but the parking price for the ramp next door is ridiculous. I spent $78 from Friday pm to Sunday at noon. Next time, I'll take the Amtrack to Chicago and the train to the hotel.
We're planning on coming back next spring with a couple more friends and staying here - we really enjoyed it.

Management response from HotelIndigoChicago, Hotel Manager
(Management representative)
May 26, 2009
Thank you for your comments, they are certainly appreciated and we will pass them on to our staff here! We couldn't agree more with your critique of our location, our guests definitely enjoy the close proximity to all that our neighborhood has to offer them!

Although the parking garage next door is a little pricey, we have found that they currently charge our guests slightly below the current market price for overnight valet parking in a secured and covered garage. An additional benefit is that they do allow our guests complimentary in and out rights during their stay.

Thanks again, we've enjoyed your company and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Regards,
