Chicago Hotels with Pools

Separate the truly excellent Webster Grille restaurant from this hotel and you have ... nothing that recommends staying here. But the Webster Grille is expensive ($95 steaks and up.) So, there is a bit of a mismatch. Check-in took forever because they had one person at the desk handling a line that literally went out the door. Hotels know who is coming in and should plan accordingly. I was here 5 nights, and 6 days and got housekeeping service twice despite asking for it each day. One day they came in and emptied the garbage cans and threw some towels on the bed and tossed in a couple of Keurig cups. There are just too many other options to stay here. The beds and sheets are pretty good, but it's just a place to stay - no frills and poor service. I will look elsewhere next trip.

I visited this hotel with my girlfriend and it was a good experience as it was close to downtown and close to several convenient areas.

The elevator halls on each floor are very spacious, with 14 elevators. Although you need to change elevators on the 20th floor, it is still very convenient. It has a good view of Lake Michigan and the park. The service in the restaurant is friendly and the breakfast price is reasonable at US$25.

I made this trip with my mother to run the Chicago marathon and again I was welcomed with all the care and attention by the amazing team of the Peninsula.The hotel is fantastic, the accommodation is super spacious, modern and comfortable. The hotel is located in Chicago, along with a complete spa, heated swimming pool and jacuzzi, a SUV service with driver, a courtesy to guests (a 2-mile radius from the hotel). I would like to give a special thank you to Christina Subida, who was spectacular with us in all senses.

This is a historical hotel in Chicago, love it very much. I love their restaurant & bar, good atmosphere and serve with good foods (see my pictures). I will definitely choose this hotel again by the next time to Chicago

The facilities are first-rate, the public security is good, and the circuit load of the newly built hotel is good. The day before, a hotel next door with the same price had unstable voltage when a hair dryer was plugged in. The price is several hundred yuan more expensive than the same five-star hotel. The room area is much larger, and it is equipped with a microwave oven, induction cooker, and oven. If I come to Chicago again, I will vote for Trump.

This is the best hotel to stay at if you have an early morning or late night flight. It was very clean and well-managed and it served our purposes. We will use it every time we take a late night trip to Asia which we do 4 times a year at present. We were very pleased.

This is a great hotel in an excellent location for exploring Chicago. We stayed two nights here before moving up to another Marriott up by Wrigley for some ballgames. Cab ride to Second City was 10 minutes. Uber back was easy to procure and the same travel time. It's about a two block walk from the Architectural River Cruise (book the one that's associated with the non-profit Architectural Museum--it's on the same side of the river as the hotel). There's a Lou Malnotti's Pizza about two blocks away in the Wrigley Building (Chicago-style pizza!). It's right around the corner from the Loop and the Chicago Theater. You're several blocks from the grand public park with all the sculptures. If you book a river view room, it's a really great look--the hotel is directly across the water from those twin honey-combed, circular apartment houses featured in every picture of Chicago. The only drawback is that to the right, you get a slanted view of ”TRUMP” on the side of that branded hotel, sure sign of an egomaniac that no other building in town emulates. Also seems so totally out of place in such a progressive, forward-thinking city. The downtown, otherwise, is beautiful. You can rent a car about 6 blocks away in the Hilton on Grand Avenue for a drive out to Oak Park (recommend the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Museum there) and then back along beautiful Lake Shore Drive. There's a Corner Bakery about two blocks up the street if you want to do breakfast. The food at the hotel's bar on Floor 3??? was pricey but good. Appetizers, mostly, but enough to get you by. Hotel is clean. Staff very friendly. Upscale, for sure.

We stayed for a night, upgraded to a lakefront room. Great location, great rooms. The only issue I had was the AC was not working that well. We didn’t even use the sheets or our blanket we got so hot. Also the bar is a little over expensive. Other then that great stay! I’d stay again but bring a fan and our own bottle next time :)

The small fridge in the room automatically shuts off after 2 hrs and doesn't stay at a safe temperature to store breast milk. The front desk advised to just use an ice bucket. This is problematic because (1) you will have to continually refill the ice bucket and (2) there is limited capacity. After an escalation to the manager, they offered to hold my milk behind the front desk in their fridge. I am not comfortable with that ”solution” nor do I want to go back and forth to the front desk for my baby's bottles and milk storage. He advised they previously provided medical fridges but they currently do not do so. I am so beyond disappointed. I expected so much more from this brand and now have to figure out something to do with my milk for my exclusively breast fed baby. Ugh, don't they have mother's stay at this property!? Marriott, do better!
