Essex Inn Chicago

  • November 21, 2008
  • Rated 4 of 5 by a traveler from Travelocity.com
My daughter and I stayed at the Essex Inn Chicago during a college visit to the WIndy City. The hotel was very nice, the staff was more than friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for us because of the proximity to Columbia College buildings. It was very quiet at night. If I had to complain about anything, it would be that the room was a little warm and stuffy. Overall, I would definately recommend it.

Ok, but would rather stay somewhere else

Hotel was plan. The front desk was not nice or helpful in terms of the area and where to go. The rooms are very small. No perks like coffee in the lobby or free newspaper. I was pretty much dissappointed and would never stay there again.

The staff at the hotel was very unfriendly. My son arrived and they was very rude to him. I came and they act as if they couldn't find the information. They asked for my id and credit card and swipe it and then told me that the rooms wasn't ready , that it may be a hour or so before the rooms will be ready. I immediately call online travel website and the agent call the hotel and told me she would do her best to take of the problem. Thank God for professional and helpful people that care about your well -being. I turly am grateful for her kindness . Thank you.

The hotel was very nice. I particularly liked the shuttle van service to various parts of the downtown area. We used this service almost every day.

Nice Place and Great Location

Good hotel yet a bit overated for the price. Great clean rooms, solid room service, friendly reception staff. Fantastic work out fitness and pool area. Definitely stay again. What's not great: Hotel restaurant is not very good and recommend eating elsewhere. Hotel uses a contract computer center at $5 per 15-minutes.
