Anonymous, Sept 2024
I recently spent four nights at the Thompson Chicago for a business trip, and while I had high hopes, the experience fell short. I booked a king room but was given two doubles due to the hotel being oversold. At 6'3", sleeping in a short bed was uncomfortable, and I ended up with only 12 hours of sleep over four nights. My room was on a higher floor, but this didn't make up for the downgrade in be...

Pros (+) comfy bed, great location, nice lobby.
Cons (-) Front desk lady was not very helpful. Toilet smelled like sewage. They called me from front desk to tell me someone was at my door from hotel personnel when I had privacy sign on...that woke me up...What kind of "privacy on" is this?

Pros (+) Nice Interior Design. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. This is a much better location than other hotels I have stayed at further south. We took a very nice walk north to Lincoln Park. It is a beautiful neighborhood and does not even feel like you are in the city.
Cons (-) Too pricey for me to use other than business. I did not need or use "facilities" so that is the only reason I did not give that an "excellent" score. We were not impressed with the breakfast food. We were very pleased with our lunch at Gibson's across the street.

Pros (+) We loved everything about it. From the very beginning (checkin) till the very last second before we left the hotel. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The Concierge made arrangements for a boat trip on the Chicago River. Housekeeping kept our room in perfect shape. We had a room on the 21st floor which had the perfect view towards the chicago skyline. It was awesome. I gladly recommend to visit...
