W Chicago City Center

04/20/2007 Posted by sabitasin

the room was really really small. like a european size room. the size of the bathroom was ridiculous - you had to contort your body just to brush your teeth! i got a wake up call at 4.45am that i never ordered (which probably means some poor soul didn't get their call!) and housekeeping knocked on my door despite the do not disturb sign. BUT.. the lobby is beautiful. the atmosphere is definately buzzing. and the little little creams and shampoos in the room were fabulous (provided by bliss spa). all in all - especially for the price - i was really disappointed.

Pros: trendy lobby atmosphere

Cons: size of rooms

Stay at this hotel. Accommodations are really nice but a hair small has a wonderful modern feel to it opposed to the Americana feel that a lot of hotel have. The staff is a little bit COLD" are not super friendly but they are courteous enough to get you checked into the hotel. Room Service is 24hours a dayLove itComfort food mac and cheese YUM. Bellmen are really helpful and friendly. They leave you linen spray on your bed.its just the nice little things that make you feel like you are at home. The lobby is swank and pretty cool great place to have drinks and just hang outFantastic!

Pros: Lobby, Rooms , room service

Cons: Room size, front desk staff , views

Hotel is definitely for 20-early40-ish crowd. Stayed during the New Year's weekend. Walking in to the hotel is like walking into after work happy hour. The style is definitely gothic. The staff was helpful overall. Maybe "Cherish" had bad day when I tried to ask 4 info. on amenities and room preference 1 1/2 wks prior 2 our stay. Would I stay again? No but, it was nice to try something different!

Pros: Location, Overall polite staff, clean rooms

Cons: small rooms

I was very pleased with choosing this hotel. I was concerned, given what I initially thought was too far, but I was wrong. It was only a few blocks away. We purchased the Yum or Yummy package, I don't remember, and it included a special dinner by the Chef just for my partner and I. You would also like the movie or video clips that are projected on certain parts of the architecture. It's hard to describe, but really cool at night when the lights are low. I highly recommend this place!

Pros: restaurant, location

The W Chicago City Center was by far the best hotel experience I have had. Service by the attractive staff in Kenneth Cole uniforms was attentive and superb. Whiskey Blue was a wonderful scene. The decor was unlike any hotel I've visited (in a good way), and the CD playing each night when I entered my room was a great touch. I look forward to my next opportunity to stay at a W Hotel!

Pros: Scene, Staff, Decor

If you want to stay at a hotel that has a lot going for it, stay at the W City Center downtown in the loop. It was a little pricey, but well worth it. The restaurant served a great fish dish that I wish I could get the recipe for! I found the people to be friendly and go out of their way to make me feel important. The lobby area has this great light show in the evening. I can't describe it, but it goes well with the hotel. Rooms were great!

Pros: service, rooms, restaurant

This is a great, very cool hotel. This is a "can't miss" even if to stop by and look at the lobby area. W did a great job in turning this historic hotel in to a comfortable place to hang out. My friends and I stayed at this hotel over the weekend and found the area much quieter than expected. This part of the city seems to shut down after work is over! You have to walk a few blocks for shopping and food, but the El stop is right there. We got a good deal that even included a Starbuck's card for coffee! Gotta check it out!

Pros: value, quiet

The W Hotel on Adams is a cool place to hang out after work. My friends and I go there every so often to drink at the bar and listen to music. I stayed there for an event last week and the rooms are just as cool as the rest of the hotel. Would highly recommend.

Pros: lobby, bar, rooms
