Affinia Chicago Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Location:

The hotel is located on a quiet street just steps away from Chicago's famous Magnificent Mile shopping district and restaurants. For the active traveler, the hotel is also within a short walk or jog to Chicago's amazing lakefront jogging path. The metro is also fairly close and can be reached within a 10-minute walk. If you are arriving by car, there is a public parking lot located across the street from the hotel which is pretty convenient since parking in Chicago can sometimes be difficult to find. If you use their valet service, they will park your car at this parking lot and charge you the valet fee which is more expensive than the lot's fee.

Room Comfort:

The rooms are large and spacious, with large comfortable beds and a separate sitting area. The bathrooms are also very spacious. The room has everything possible to make your stay comfortable, from comfortable bedding, a large flat screen LCD TV, mini bar, sitting area/work space, high speed internet access and so on. We also had a beautiful view of the surrounding buildings from the comfort of our bed. The rooms are decorated with electric decor in calming contemporary colours. We can't say anything negative about the rooms. Overall, we found the room very comfortable which was perfect to come back to after a long day of sightseeing.

Cleanliness:

The hotel and the rooms were spotless. From the moment we entered the shiny and sparkling hotel lobby, it was quite apparent that the hotel takes great pride in cleanliness. The staff is also well outfitted in professional and stylish uniforms.

Service:

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles and welcoming service. The staff was great and went above and beyond to ensure we were having a great stay. The staff didn't fail to provide us with a warm and friendly welcome every time we stepped into the hotel. The concierge was also very resourceful and offered to get us into the hottest night clubs or reservations for great restaurants. We booked our hotel through P riceline.com who provided the best rates for this hotel. Valet service, room service and spa services are also available.

Food:

Unfortunately we didn't try the food at the hotel so we can't provide any feedback. We can tell you that there is a popular restaurant at the hotel where the award winning celebrity chef - Marcus Samuelsson prepares award winning dishes. In addition to the restaurant, there is a rooftop lounge.

Overall Value:

This hotel offers excellent value. We were not disappointed with our stay and can't find one negative thing to say about our experience. Everything was perfect from the moment we checked-in. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chicago. It would be a shame to stay somewhere else.
