• It was clean.
• It was way outside of Chicago; they made it sound easier to get to down town than it actually was.

“If you have business at Rush Memorial Center, this is a good hotel for you. Otherwise, it is far from anything of interest. The trains to get into the loop are great, but you have to walk a ways to get them and how safe is it to travel at night? As a woman alone, I did not feel it was a good option. I spent a lot of money on taxis. The hotel is just basic. Nothing really to enjoy. The concierge did not know much and gave me the wrong bus line to take, but she was very pleasant. If you want to enjoy Chicago, don't stay at this hotel. If you want something efficient and near the University of Illinois, it is fine.”

• I liked its proximity to the CTA blue line.

“It was a nice hotel that is particularly close to the Medical District and the University of Illinois-Chicago. If you need to have immediate access to Downtown, it is not the easiest (blue line is 2 blocks away). The neighborhood can be a bit intimidating at night.”

• The friendly, courteous staff & convenient shuttle service.
• Parking costs.

“Our family stayed in this hotel for a trip to Chicago. It was conveniently located near the Pink Line CTA so we parked and walked to the train to take it downtown. If you don't mind crossing a busy street you can save more than half the cost of parking by parking at the hospital across the street was struck by the courteous staff and the availability of a free shuttle service to and from anywhere within 1 mile of the hotel. I'd stay here again any day.”

• The staff and service was excellent. The shuttle was also a big plus.
• Liked pretty much everything. Hotel food was pricey but was really good. Fair trade I guess.

“We were greeted and taken care of extremely well by all the staff. The staff was very friendly and made sure that our stay was enjoyable. The hotel was upscale and in a great location just off the subway and the shuttle takes you within a mile including Greek Town and Little Italy.”

• Nothing-very angry.
• They made me my partner sleep on two different cots.

“First, let me say I was service marketing major in University, and by far this was the worst service experience I have had in my entire life. The hotel didn't have any rooms available; they put us in a tiny room and made me and my partner sleep on two different cots (rolling beds).”

• The hotel itself was nice, clean room, good size room.
• For how much the room was, I hated the location, the room was not ready when I got there, no 24 hour room service.

“The hotel would be good for business travelers, but not for a night in the city. Too far!”

• Bed, shower, amenities.
• Staff was not so friendly, location of the hotel, I thought it was better.

“It was good. I would recommend. Matched my expectations, overall... And the Marriott always offers a very good bed and a very good shower, not to count the amenities.”

• Helpful front desk staff.
• Older rooms, bad location for everything.

“Bad location if youre in town to sight sees. You will need to take plenty of cab fare or be willing to ride a smelly bus to get wherever you want to go. Nothing is within reasonable walking distance. And because of that, the restaurant and bar gouge you with high prices.”

• The staff was helpful in helping us navigate the public transportation and shopping options. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
• I cant think of anything. Parking was a little expensive.

“The overall stay was nice. It was in a convenient location. The staff helped us navigate which travel options would be most appropriate based on our destination (cabs, or el train). The provided maps and made it easy.”

• Price was great.
• Not exactly a romantic hotel too many college students having parties.

“Great price. Not the best location for Downtown Chicago tourism, but great for campus activities. Excellent shuttle service and staff.”

• No pool.

“If I was to come to Chicago I would stay here again, the staff was very nice and very helpful and the drivers for the shuttle where very helpful and very nice. We all four felt very safe.”

• The staff was very courteous, helpful and extremely friendly.
• I am a smoker and this was a non-smoking hotel.

“Very well appointed hotel with helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is located in a quiet area close to the university medical schools. For non-smokers, this hotel is an entirely smoke free hotel.”

• The location and cleanliness.
• The service at the bar/restaurant. Ordered appetizer and they didn't bring us one, forgot to use coupon, couldn't make drinks. Couldn't park own car.

“Made complaint to manager but no follow through. Restaurant didn't open when suppose to and bar forgot to use coupon. Most of staff was friendly and room was very clean and comfortable except a few stains on the carpet.”

• Friendly front desk staff.
• Valet slow, bathroom needed repairs.

“Overall stay was pleasant, front desk was not only friendly, but helpful with suggestions on restaurants and directions. Room was clean, but not up to the usual standards of a Marriott (ripped wallpaper, etc). Also, no pool.”

• The free shuttle to restaurants was great.
• Our room was not ready on arrival, we waited over 3 hours.

“Conveniently located to Rush and Greek-town and Little Italy. Do not miss the IUC pool/workout (but you will pay $15 entrance fee). Supposedly non-smoking, but not enforced. Heavy smell of cover-up deodorizers. Check-in times are more like a general target many excuses but no solutions. I will stay somewhere else next time.”
