    My stay in Chicago was awesome. However, my stay at the Marriott was very disappointing

    The Marriott has really depreciated. I normally only book a Marriott no matter what state I’m in but this will be my last time booking with a Marriott.

    Upon arrival my card was swiped twice. Even though I showed the manager the charge was pending he insisted he didn’t have a payment on his end. So I had to swipe my credit card twice. I was visiting Chicago from Virginia which could have been a disaster for my financial if I didn’t have more funds available. Thank goodness I did. The room refrigerator was dirty it had not been cleaned from the previous guest.

    Friendlier staff at the hotel check in. I asked to speak to the Manager and was told the person I was speaking to was the manager. I tried to get help with my reservation by phone and was dealt with very rudely.

    We were there to visit the Italian Consulate. The hotel was very close and made walking to our appointments possible.

    Resort fee of $25/day automatically charged to you meant you had to spend $25/day at the hotel or the fee was just theirs. WIFI was only free for their club members. True, it only took a minute to sign up, but I have never been to a hotel the didn't have free WIFI. On top of that, to access information about the hotel and room service menus, you needed to scan a QR code on a card in the room. How do you do that with no WIFI? Michigan Avenue entrance locked after 11 PM. Very inconvenient. Breakfast was way too expensive. We could not get our own luggage cart, we had to have one of the hotel bellmen get it, when we could do it ourselves, thereby costing us more money in tips. Self-parking was $51/day, and $71/day for valet parking!! Outrageous. In general, the people were ok, but the hotel rules were terrible.

    The location was great! Room was large and clean. Car valet attendant, housekeeper Marival, and repairman Luis were excellent. Check -in people were ok. Elevators were quick no matter what time, there was always one available to go up or down, without waiting.

    Most of the staff were unresponsive and kind of haughty. Maybe they were understaffed, but that’s no excuse. I spent thousands on two rooms three days. No housekeeping. Bartender pretty much ignored me and my daughter. Waited two + hours for my car, and the valet stand guy wasn’t mean, but he refused to talk to any of us about the situation. I’m surprised there wasn’t a riot. Thanks to Marriott, I got home and missed getting to see my grandson. I don’t know how to make up for that. Shame on you, Marriott!

    Location! And one staff person, Devin, at check-in, was super-friendly, efficient and helpful!

    Nothing!

    Location, facilities, plentiful elevators (and fast!), we love that the hotel offers a credit to offset new city fees—that is a big plus! Rooms are spacious and well-maintained. Harvest breakfast was great, and that space is a very comfortable place to start the day. All staff members are welcoming and helpful.
