Le Meridien Essex Chicago

The staff was friendly and patient. The room was very clean. They were able to accommodate me and get me a room even though I came a few hours before check in.

Excellent location within walking distance to major attractions and public transportation. Exceptionally clean rooms modern and updated. Friendly and helpful staff. Appreciated the $15.00 food voucher for the cafe located in the hotel. Food and service was good but nothing to write home about. We also appreciated the free bottled water each day of our stay and the ease and convience of check in and check out. We were in for a music fest and they even had our room ready early which allowed us to get to our event early and without having to worrry about our luggage.

I loved the Bluetooth bathroom mirror, the wireless charging clock, the smart cast tv, the comfortable bed and the room all together.

Hotel and rooms are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Looks like it was recently renovated and upgraded. The floor of my room is hard wood, which makes it more appealing (vs. carpet). The hotel gym has new and working equipment (treadmill, Peloton bike, stair master, and free weights). Space is a bit small but can fit 3-4 people comfortably. I was provided with bottled water when I checked in. Hotel is accessible by train from Roosevelt station (4 blocks from hotel).

Loved the location, the comfortable Eames chair next to the floor to ceiling windows next was great for enjoying the view. We had dinner and breakfast at the Grant Park Bistro in the lobby, food and service was great. Liked the extra details - qi charger on the alarm clock, robe and slippers, bluetooth speaker / bathroom mirror.
