Great Front Desk Service and Beautiful Hotel

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

ali j TripAdvisor review

Amazing service, Francisco at the front desk was beyond professional and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make our stay an excellent one! The hotel is beautiful and the bar cocktails are delicious. Oh, the museum added an extra touch of art that was enjoyable as an added bonus to our stay.

Good location

I previously stayed in the 21c in Bentonville and absolutely loved my stay. I was excited to try the 21c in Chicago for a work trip, and I also brought my colleagues along to stay at this hotel as well. I understand the building is old, but I really did not enjoy my stay. The rooms were just ok. The artwork featured in the hotel on both floors was questionable at best. The restaurant looked nice, but there are so many options in Chicago that I did not try it. There was a very loud "thudding" sound throughout my stay - not sure if it was the elevator or the HVAC or something but it kept me up both nights. This hotel seemed to lack the playfulness that I loved in the Bentonville location. I was really excited to stay at this hotel, which is why I was so disappointed with it I guess. With so many options in Chicago, I would not stay here again.

They were out of our double queen bed room and ended up giving us a suite with one bed and one sofa bed so we ended up needing a rollaway bed which was an inconvenience. The shower was also very tight, you literally cannot turn without touching the walls

BUGS IN THE BATHROOM

Customer review rating 1.0/5

I am extremely disappointed and frankly disgusted by my stay here. I chose to stay here as my boyfriend has stayed in the past and recommended it. I was appalled to walk into my bathroom one night of the stay to find hundreds of tiny flying bugs in every corner. All of the windows were shut and never opened, so I have no clue where they came from, but they were clearly breeding and multiplying. It was absolutely disgusting, but late at night so I decided to deal with it in the morning. Now I had to complicate my vacation with dealing with a bug problem. I emailed the hotel and called the front desk between activities I was doing for the day and they assured me they would take care of it. I asked them to thoroughly clean the bathroom as I only had one night left in the stay and would be coming back late and switching rooms is way too much of a hassle on top of what has already eaten up so much time in my trip. The front desk said they would send someone right away for a deep clean. When I got back that night, there were still hundreds of bugs, with some dead bugs on the counter. It was obvious no one was sent for a “deep clean”. I was furious I had to deal with ANOTHER NIGHT of bugs. When checking out the next day, we were sure to tell the employee at the front desk about our problems. While he agreed the bugs were unacceptable, he first tried to blame us by saying “that’s what happens when windows are left open” to which I informed him all the windows were closed. Then, he tried to blame us again by saying we should have asked to switch rooms, which we did not want to do as we were already wasting so much time in the vacation dealing with this problem and did not want to go through the hassle of changing rooms, especially when coming back late at night. He said we should’ve just asked them to change rooms for us, not sympathizing with our situation whatsoever. He said he would waive the resort fee, but considering I wouldn’t expect this level of uncleanliness ANYWHERE (let alone somewhere charging over $200 a night) this did not resolve the situation. I will never stay here again and warn everyone who is considering it.

Lovely Stay
