Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago-CTB: Nice Hotel In the Heart of the City    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I usually recommend the Westin to people coming into town for a stay. The rooms are nice and clean and a lot of them have views of the city and/or Lake Michigan. The staff is always friendly and helpful as well. They recently updated the lobby. It's a little modern (read uncomfortable) so not the type of lobby that's conducive to lounging - but it does it's job. The lobby bar is also nice. When we have had problems with anything (overbooking once) they were quick to remedy the situation and are very concerned with customer service.

    Just a little FYI - this is the hotel that all the major league baseball players stay at when they're in town playing either the Cubs or the White Sox so you may encounter the occasional player. Fans usually line the street across from the main entrance hoping for a glimpse of the players on game days.

    It's right across the street from the Drake Hotel and the John Hancock Building, so it's centrally located. It's an easy walk to all the Michigan Avenue and Rush Street shops and restaurants. It's also a short walk to the lake front.

    Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago-CTB: Magnificent location    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Location is really key with this hotel. Its at the intersection of Delaware and Michigan, right on the Magnificent Mile and overlooking Lake Michigan. It makes a great base for exploiring downtown, the museums, etc. There is a bus stop about a block away, the John Hancock Building right across the street and its only a short walk to Lincoln Park, the lake and Navy Pier.

    The hotel is on the pricey side with decent sized rooms, not too bad considering space is at a premium in Chicago. The lakefront rooms have a fantastic view too. There is one restaurant advertised as "fine dining" and a more casual restaurant and bar, but there are better options, both fancy and casual, within blocks of the hotel.

    I'd heard a lot of complaints about service at this hotel, and it really is hit or miss. Almost everyone was friendly and helpful, but the front desk appeared to be having a few problems.

    Its all about the location. There are so many things within walking distance from the hotel that you'll hardly need a bus pass, let alone a car.

    Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago-CTB: A very nice hotel    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • Ona lark, my wife and i decided to check into a downtown hotel one weekend and be tourists in our own city. We chose the Westin and found it to be very close to most of the tourist attractions the city has to offer. Almost everything would be in walking distance. the only downside I have is that it puts you smack in the iddle of downtown prices.

    I liked the fact that checking in was quick clean and simple, but Miyuki really liked the beds.
