I got so used to hearing the L that my first night back home it was too quiet. Easy walking distance to the museums we wanted to see w/ public transit to the farther museums. Helpful concierge. Charging for internet access seems a bit picky. I hope ...Read more

Hotel rooms were difficult to find in the short travel notice I had. I was pleased to find the Essex Inn and was quite comfortable there. It was within walking distance of my destination and to interesting areas of Chicago. I would stay there again.
Good stay for a good price

Stayed here over Thanksgiving. The location was good and the price was right. Staff was not very helpful and they were remodeling. Room was small but nice. I would stay here again but only if the price was right.

I read the reviews on yahoo and got really scared. I had 11 people coming from out of town all staying at the essex and I had read some bad reviews, but we had a great time and things could not have been better. I would most definitely do it again.
Nice Stay

The Essex has recently been renovated. Unfortunately the restaurant was still under renovation so was not open. But there are a ton of great places to eat in the area as well as Kitty O'Sheas right across the street. Staff were helpful and ...Read more
