Lousy service

by YpsiET at Citysearch

Spent 2 nights at CQ; rooms were small (to be expected in this location). Front desk staff was not very helpful. Billing procedure was not explained (they will hold $150 of your money for 1 week if you charge debit card). No access to microwave or fridge (like everything else, it can be 'upgaded to' - for a fee). Best part - valet service rocked!

  • Pros: good location, comfy beds
  • Cons: BAD customer service, no fridge, no microwave

Awful Experiences

by frequentflyer1 at Citysearch

We are forced to stay here when in Chicago for trainings for my employer. This is one of the dirtiest, rundown hotels in the area and the rate is comprable. There are no irons/ironing boards in the rooms, you have to get your own out of a "community closet" on your floor (hopefully they're not all taken by the time you get there). The rooms are small, the beds are uncomfortable and the bathroom was really dirty. It makes me cringe everytime I have training in Chicago because I know I'll be forced to stay there.

  • Pros: Good fitness center
  • Cons: Dirty, no amenities

Good Location

by megandavison1 at Citysearch

My husband just spent a weekend in Chicago. The hotel is nothing special, but it is a great location. The rooms are small, but comfortable and clean. We dont normallly spend a lot of time in the room in Chicago, so it was perfect for us. We would rather be out and about enjoying the city.

  • Pros: Price, Location, Free Bottled Water Stations on Every Floor
  • Cons: Vending Machines, Elevators and swiping key every time a pain.

Has gone downhill

by jeffatuofl at Citysearch

My employer owns a membership at Club Quarters and we, of course, are encourage to stay there. No one does anymore if they can help it. The hotel has gone downhill the past year. I checked in recently and found that the towels in my bathroom were WET (as in they had NOT BEEN CHANGED), there was mold in the shower and all over the shower curtain, and there was hair in the bed (as in the sheets HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED). When I called the front desk, they were totally indifferent to the situation and sent a housekeeper up more than an hour later to fix things. The rooms are quite small, which is not that big a deal for an overnight stay; it is more of an issue on a multi-night stay. I have lately found them to be not particularly competitive with rates I can get on Hotwire/Priceline for much better quality hotels -- even with our membership discount -- in the same general area of Chicago (a recent trip resulted in $129/night at Club Quarters vs. $99/night at Swissotel on Hotwire). If you can find someplace else to stay, do it.

  • Pros: Dirty. Rundown. Unattentive staff.
  • Cons: Convenient location. Some rooms have great views.
