We celebrated our wedding anniversary at WA-Chicago and this is our first time staying at WA in the United States. Last WA stay was in Thailand where the experience was superb! Reservation was easy via the app and the concierge emailed me a week in advance asking if there was anything they can do to prepare of our stay. I had a terrible experience with a Hilton hotel in Las Vegas in Dec 2022 where a stranger opened my hotel door at 11:20 pm. I am still experiencing PTSD so I asked if the concierge can provide anything lavender (scent/oil) so I can be relaxed. Also, since it's our wedding anniversary, perhaps anything in that theme would be nice. First the concierge addressed me as Mr instead of Mrs. Unsure why one automatically thinks that it's the man who made the hotel booking. Second, the concierge wasn't able to meet my requests which was non-issue. We declined turn-down service but requested chocolate where they were never delivered during our stay. A robe was missing in the closet and room service delivered it immediately. There wasn't any coffee or tea in the room but the dining service delivered my hot tea in 30 minutes which was acceptable. The bed was comfortable but sound insulation wasn't great since we could hear neighbors' chatting at midnight. We used the steam/sauna for 30 minutes before checking out and the spa was a nice facility. The hotel is nicely located in the Gold Coast area where it is closed to many lovely restaurants. The reception area is kind of small and there were 2 guest service staffs assisting with check-in/out.

The hotel is beautiful and situated in a great location, but sadly I had a poor experience with one of the front desk representatives - Rebecca - who worked the evening shift. I was berated by this particular employee in a way that I have never before experienced in a professional customer service oriented setting. One evening, when I had approached the counter to purchase a couple of convenience staples, she was very unapproachable and asked in a very irritable manner how I was going to pay. She then took my card without saying a word and disappeared to the back room where she remained for 7 minutes or so. When she came back out, I asked her if the card machine was broken, and she flipped out - raising her voice and berating me in a nonsensical manner. I asked her what her name was, and she began saying it loudly and in a hostile manner, saying it over and over again and telling me to contact management if I had a problem. Her behavior was downright disgusting and a poor reflection of the hotel and the city of Chicago in general. She is not a good fit for the hotel and most certainly has cost this business money as anyone else she has accosted is unlikely to return, including those like myself who had spent well into the 4 figure range over the course of my stay. The next morning, I was worried that she would accost my family (my wife and toddler) as we departed early in the morning.

Club Quarters Hotel Central Loop, Chicago

Location is quite good as it is within walking distance of local mass transit systems, shopping, eateries, and attractions. The location is also close enough to Grant Park that you could start a run and make it to the park very quickly to continue on for a few miles. Even based on location alone, I would return to this hotel. As others had mentioned, there is a refillable water bottle station by the elevators (empty bottles also provided), which is a great feature. The elevator had a weird quirk where it would overshoot the desired floor when going up (remedy the situation by pressing the button again to send the elevator down to the desired floor). If you do some research into the hotel and its reviews prior to booking there shouldn't really be any surprises. I went into the stay having some idea of what to expect and that helped me enjoy my stay. There is no mini-fridge in the standard room, which is also on the small side but perfectly fine if you don't plan on spending a lot of time in the hotel. The only seating in the hotel room was the desk chair. Some of the furnishings could use updating but the bed felt itself was great and the room was clean. I couldn't find any in-room controls for the temperature, but I did not have a problem with this; it's just something to be aware of. The bathroom was clean and utilitarian but towels and toiletries were provided. Updated charging station/hub/clock (both USB A and USB C) for both the desk and the nightstand would go a long way. This hotel is one tenant of a building that was built in the early 1900s. If you've ever lived in a building from around that time, you get used to some things being a little bit older and quirky. Since my priorities were having a great location for a reasonable price (compared to the nearby competition) that was also clean, accessible by mass transit, and had access to an eatery, this was a good stay for me.

We were really excited as this was our first trip to Chicago and this hotel was recommended to us. I loved that it had an indoor pool for my kids to swim in, free continental breakfast and a good location. When we booked our trip, the price was $255 a night, but when we got there, I saw online it was $145/night which is more reasonable given all the issues we encountered. We got there late at night and didn’t have any issues checking in. The next day we went to use the pool and it was ice cold. My kids were in it for maybe 5 minutes and were done because it was too cold. I told the front desk and they contacted maintenance to see what was wrong. The table in our room was falling apart and broke when my one year old was under it. My husband caught it and put it back together. We contacted the front desk and maintenance eventually came and put brackets on the legs to “stabilize” it. We tried the pool the next day, and it was ever colder. My husband said it was colder than a lake. Contacted the front again and they would look at it. The A/C in our room was broken and said it was set for 65 degrees but the room was reading 78 degrees. The pictures of the pool area also showed a hot tub, which was not the case. I tried to use our phone to call the front about something and both phones were broken and not working. We also weren’t given our vouchers for the bar until the last day we were there. Overall it was disappointing stay for the week.

Hotel EMC2, Autograph Collection

Streeterville
The hotel has a good location, just beside Michigan Avenue, and convenient to all major attractions in Chicago. The hotel environment is also very good. It is quiet and clean. The space is large enough. There is sufficient hot water supply, but there is no hot water to drink. We brought our own heat The most distinctive feature of the kettle for boiling water is the hotel’s robots, which can deliver water and daily necessities, which are available on demand, great! We did not have breakfast at the hotel, but there are many restaurants around, which are very convenient. The waiters in the hotel are very good and the service is very warm and thoughtful. Our trip felt very good, the price was affordable and the process was comfortable!

Overall it was a good experience. A little hard for me to find using Google maps. However, I found it on the other side of the block rather quickly. They were great for accommodating my late check in. the bed was super comfortable and the room was nice and clean. I would stay again.

Convenient location, just one intersection from the subway station. There are also many food and beverage shops nearby. The room was clean. The free breakfast provided is an authentic American breakfast. There is not much variety, but it is enough to maintain energy and fullness.

In downtown Chicago, the room is not on the street and can't see the night view. My daughter is a little disappointed. Personally like the room. 27 flat, it feels quite big and warm. Breakfast is also good. There are many buses nearby. Not far from attractions. Overall satisfied. Recommended.

In Ctrip, I booked two big bed rooms. As a result, the hotel was told that there was only one big bed room. The hotel manager explained that Ctrip did not specify the specific room type when ordering. The online contact customer service Ctrip has been procrastinating, resulting in 184cm son in Canada. The small bed lay down for two nights. Once again, I will appreciate Ctrip's super service and go to Ctrip.

Great location, nice hotel! The room was beautiful, although I would prefer a bathroom door with more privacy :). The lack of properly closing doors is a design trend that makes no sense. They remodeled the lobby and cocktails are good! It was a good experience in general
