My husband and I stayed at the Seneca as he had a 3 day conference at the Merchandise Mart. I wanted a hotel that was close to attractions so I had something to do while he was working and was easy for him to get to and from the conference (it was a convenient $6 taxi ride).

LOVED: The king size bed, it was so comfortable. The room was a great size. Basically a bedroom and sitting room. The room was clean and quiet.

The location is phenomenal, a block away from the Magnificent Mile and main attractions. Across from John Hancock Observatory and Water Tower shopping plaza.

What could have been improved: There was only one towel set when we arrived which I thought was odd especially as we booked a King size bed. They organized more towels so that wasn't a big deal.

What I found 'interesting' was the electrics. I set the bedside alarm clock and then noticed it was flashing like it hadn't been set. I soon discovered that when I used the light switch I was also turning off the TV, clock and lights... I spoke to Front Desk and they said it was the same issue in all rooms.

I'm not sure if our room (806) was renovated or not - it was definitely clean and tidy, but dated. The kitchen was convenient for reheating leftovers.

Would I stay there again?? Maybe, but I may see if I can find a deal for a more upmarket / modern hotel in the future - but that's just my taste, the Seneca is still a great hotel in a perfect position.

This was my first time staying here and it was the best. The staff were very helpful and knowledgable. Our room wasn't ready when we checked in so they upgraded us to a king suite that had a living room, dining room, full kitchen and bath, king bed and 2 walk-in closets. It was fabulous! It was a great location. I would definately stay here again!

Our travel agent booked the hotel for us for a very reasonable price.When we arrived, we were upgraded to a very large suite with every amenity. The location was terrific--just behind the Hancock Tower. We walked everywhere. A hot breakfast was included which came as a surprise since the rooms had kitchenettes.All the employees that we dealt with were very pleasant and accomodating.Some could be more aware of things relating to Chicago, however, like Arlington Race Track. Overall, we had a great time at a very great located hotel.

We stayed in a suite with wonderful furniture and only paid $119. The Seneca staff was incredibly kind and helpful and the location was great (close to everything, yet quiet). The kitchen and bathroom weren't anything fancy, but they were clean and efficient. This is a great place for kids that need more room than the average hotel has to offer. Be sure to check out their rooftop deck too, it was wonderful!
