The Scene
Just beyond the bustle of Chicago's Loop, this establishment is located where Lincoln Park meets Lake View. It is two blocks from Lake Michigan in an exclusive residential neighborhood and within walking distance of Lincoln Park Zoo and Wrigley Field.
The Details
The smallish property has only 55 rooms on four floors. The boutique decor is a notch above standard hotel fare, with pastel florals and French-style furnishings. Suites are simply oversized rooms; don't expect separate sitting and sleeping areas. Tea and coffee are available round the clock in the lobby. Cookies are served to guests in the afternoon. Children may stay free in their parents' room. Pets are not permitted.

We stayed at this hotel on a very hot weekend in July. The air conditioner was completely inadequate. The room was miniscule and had nothing to recommend it. The staff was polite and helpful, but overall, this hotel is highly over-rated. We paid a pretty reasonable rate the time we stayed, but we're back in town for Labor Day and the lowest rate was $385 -- incredibly overpriced!!

My husband and I were in Chicago for a pretty stressful surgery (at St. Joseph's) so based upon the hospital's recommendation we chose to stay at the Willows. I have to say; it was probably the most relaxing thing about the entire visit to Chicago. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, not to mention that the room was beautiful! We will definitely stay at the Willows again.

Room tiny. Very tiny! Walking around the bed at night dangerous. Bed OK. Bathroom laid out by a lunatic. New computer system takes 10 minutes to check you out. Room air conditioner in the window, behind the room darkening drapes, which means that the air between the window and the drapes hits minus 40 degrees, but the room itself swelters...unless you want to open the room darkening drapes and be able to read by the street lighting filtering through the venetian blinds. Lobby nice but small.
