My biggest complaint about the hotel was that the room was quite small. No issues with the room facilities - bed etc. The gym is great - weights separate from cardio. Very nice club loungs and prices that are extremely reasonable. More

I have stayed at the Michigan Ave. Marriott many times for business and pleasure. Great access to shopping, restaurants, and Chicago attractions located in the heart of the Magnificent Mile. Good cab service and quick trip to any business location in downtown Chicago. Service was top notch and friendly, room was very clean, although a bit small. Fantastic Concierge service... More

Room was clean and bed comfortable, but small. Bathroom even smaller. With 2 people plus luggage, not a lot of room. Internet should be included. Marriott Fairfield in Madison WI did include internet. Street noise could be heard on 36th floor room. Heat could not be turned down low enough for us to be comfortable. Hotel did provide a fan....

Stated during a dance showcase weekend. Was impressed how well the staff and hotel responded to the mayhem. Beds were comfortable. Had view overlooking the lake. 2 negatives. Room had moldy smell and the bathroom was small. Excellent location and helpful staff. Self park across street. Try to get the pkg else it's $36 plus tax. Valet is $51 plus... More

Great location as it's right on Michigan Ave and right in the middle of shopping. The service was also great. Parking was about $32 per 24 hours with in-and-out services. There's a Starbucks downstairs, but there are several in close vicinity of the hotel. We were there the weekend of the football league championships and the bar and lounge downstairs... More

This Marriott is in a great location. It is close to every thing - great restaurants, shopping, bars, entertainment. But, it was not a great experience. We are Marriott elite members and booked this hotel 2 months in advance at a great price, When we arrived by cab, cars were backed up for a block to park, then a line... More

Had a great view from my room, but when you are a Marriott hotel I would not expect there to have the wall paper pealing from the walls. Lobby is wonderful and the staff is very nice. More

I stayed here for a trade show, and it was almost perfect for that: nice large lobby area to accommodate meetings, good central location for dinners, and we easily arranged a shuttle to McCormick Convention Center. But the rooms were just average (unless you pay up for a high-floor view), and my biggest complaint is that they're not set up... More

Stayed here 5 nights from 1/21-1/26 2011. This is a great location, very close to lots of restaurants and shopping. Hotel is nice but nothing very special. Rooms were small, perhaps this is the norm for downtown properties. Food and service were good but again nothing special. If you have to stay downtown this is a nice option. Bar area... More

I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect from this hotel, given the professional pictures online. It could either look like a carnival, or look really stunning. Much to my pleasure, it was REALLY stunning on the inside, and the professional pictures did this property no justice. Everything in here is immaculate and well designed; the entire place looks brand new... More
