JW Marriott Chicago

world t6 months ago

Polished and refined hotel convenient 0.5 mile walk to Millennium Park and the art museum. Check-in was easy and the front desk staff was pleasant. The room was on an interior loop which was a little bit of a fishbowl view with other rooms, but luckily there were blackout curtains which I had drawn basically the whole time. ||Most of the things inside the room made sense: light switches on the lamps; good desk area for working; sofa chair at the end of the bed 2// comfortable. Room looked classy and tactful and not overdone. The one miss was the alcove with the coffee machine which was dark and difficult to plug in the machine. The room was large enough that it could have worked for two people. Bed was very comfortable and the reading lights were perfect. ||Closet had a robe and slippers, as well as an ironing board which worked well. ||Bathroom had aromatherapy amenities in large bottles that were not attached to the wall, but a nice sign beside the sink indicated that if one takes a bottle, it’s a $45 charge 😬. But shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel were fine and not over-perfumed; lotion on the sink was good. Towels were fluffy and luxurious. There was also a deep soak tub which I did not use. ||Easy to get a cab in front (which is right across the street from the W hotel). ||Checkout was quick. Gym was large but also pretty crowded; wasn’t able to use it on this trip. ||Overall enjoyable stay, I would come back!
