I had a great time at the W. Great decor, comfortable room and really helpful and friendly staff. I was also pleasantly surprised that they had free internet access.
Wonderful Weekend

The King Tut Package, including VIP tickets to the Field Museum, made this a memorable stay . The staff was accommadating and competent. The beds were very comfortable but the lobby area was too dark.

My first experience with the W chain of hotels and overall positive. The lobby and rooms are uber modern, which lends to a less sterile feel. I was on the 12th floor above the train noise; if I were a few floors lower, I might have been less impressed because of the noise. One thing to note is the Munchies Box, which is loaded with everything you could possibly want or forget on a trip - the W charges on a per item and its very costly. Might be worthwhile to ask for a itemized bill if you decide to use the box, so they do not overcharge.

We bought our airfare and hotel through Orbitz and didn't get a bad deal. The W is a chain owned by the Westin, it's also extremely trendy. Once you walk into the lobby you are greeted by fresh flowers and an overload of perfume. There is no real direction to where the check-in desk is. There is an open bar and lots of couches and tables for you to people watch. We checked in thinking we had a king bed, and to be honest, it was barely a queen. The room was rather small, but after all, how often are you in your room? Room service was expensive, add $3.95 for service fee, 9% sales tax and a 19% convenience fee. Hello??? No wonder they can afford all the fresh flowers. The shower was sensational and they give you shampoo and stuff by Bliss which is a very trendy line. Overall I cannot complain about my experience. The people at the hotel were nice and I had a great body pillow to snuggle with. It's ideally located one block away from the Sears Towers.
