The staff at this hotel were outstanding. Very friendly, always offering to help or assist with any request. I have given this hotel a 4 Star due to their staff. We wen to Chicago for a Cubs game and the location of this hotel was just perfect. The neighbourhood was great. So many restaurants, shopping and grocery and coffee shops available and walkable. The hotel itself is worn and tired. The rooms were dated and you know they tried their best to clean but you cant clean an old worn carpet. We had several wall paper patches in our room and the bathroom. In my opinion not worth the price we paid based on the room. But I loved the staff and the location so it was a trade off.
This is a pleasant, modern and airy hotel in downtown Chicago. We enjoyed our stay very much, but didn't eat in the hotel (apart from one snack in the bar), so I can't comment on the cuisine. The room was a good size, spacious and comfortable, with an excellent modern en-suite shower and toilet. The bed was large and very comfortable and every night afforded us a good night's sleep. What was particularly notable was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, in particular the concierge (Ramon), who guided us through the available sights and eateries in Chicago, which saved us considerable time in research. Chicago is a fascinating city, with all the modernity and dynamism of Manhattan, but without the grit or the slightly abraisive denizens of that island. We found all Chigacoans we encountered to be pleasant and engaging. However, Chicago is built on two levels, the lower level being under all the main roads that are elevated and therefore walking anywhere in the lower section is far less pleasant than on the upper section. I mention this because the main entrance to the Gwen hotel is on the lower level so when you exit onto the street it's advisable to climb the stairs around the corner to go up to 'street level'. Also, if you're not going to the hotel by taxi but by public transport (as we did) you'll have to carry your luggage down the stairs from the upper level where the bus stops. Additionally, the arrangement of the lifts in the hotel is a little irritating (and confusing to start with) because the lift from the main entrance doesn't go to the levels where the bedrooms are. The main reception is on the fifth floor so you have to go to reception and then walk to another bank of lifts that take you onward to the bedrooms and conference rooms. The Gwen seems to be a business hotel first and foremost and so there is a lot of activity and many people in the building for conferences and exhibitions. The terrace area by the bar affords a pleasant view of the cityscape, but there are two huge TV screens that perpetually show sport, so many of the guests on the terrace are there to watch a game. However it seems that there is no public place in Chicago that doesn't have TV screens on all the time, showing sport (the city seems to be obsessed with sport). Every restaurant we went to had multiple screens on, even high-end establishments. To a Brit this is weird because its only pubs and bars in my country that have these intrusive, mind-numbing displays. We enjoyed our stay at the Gwen and can recommend it for a pleasant stay as a tourist. its location is good for reaching many parts of the city and public transport is cheap and extensive. If we return to Chicago we will definitely book to stay there again.
For business travelers, this spot is perfectly situation along the Northeast end of the Loop, meaning that you can get to River North by foot and the convention center via the L easily. The checkin process was great, and the staff were friendly. I was surprised by the $25/night resort fee at checkin (the place aint' a resort), but the clerk gave me a free drink voucher and handful of free breakfast vouchers that I used at the coffee shop each morning, which helped reduce the overall shock to the system. (The coffee shop does a mean chai latte and is a nice place to work on a laptop if you're early for checkin.) The vibe of the hotel itself is pretty sweet. If you're into bright colors and neon sign, then this place is for you. The rooftop bar gets a little clubby in the evening, so if that's not your scene, then arrive when the sun is still out. The room itself was lovely and clever—I liked the sliding doors that separated the bathroom/closet area from the bedroom. Overall, would def stay here again if I'm back in Chicago.
Good location in Gold Coast, very close to Oak Street. Room is relatively spacious but hallways are tiny. My only issue is housekeeping did not make up the bed and simply just put the towels in one of the beds.

Llove is blueマコーミックで開催される北米放射線学会の年次会議に出席するのは初めてでしたが、すごいですね、ここは広大です。シャトルが建物に近づくにつれて、私は何が見えるのかすでに興奮していました。全館を訪問し、1日で14,000歩歩きました!私たちはとにかく歩いて歩いて、すべてのホールの隅々を訪れました。これは間違いなく最高のカロリー燃焼運動です。ここの食べ物は少し高いかもしれませんが、マクドナルドもあるので大丈夫だと思います。土産物店では、必要に応じてフェデックス サービスも提供しています。素敵で立派な建物!
