Stuck in the 80s - NOT a 4 star hotel
Dated, noisy with zero room amenities.
I have never seen a hotel that claims to be a 4 star hotel of a known chain to have plastic disposable cups instead or glasses or mugs. No kettle no complementary hot drinks......i guess they were going to melt the plastic cups.....
When the air-condition was on it was like you were inside an aeroplane cabin (the noise was unbearable and unacceptable).
We have to queue for 15 mins to get a lift to our floor .
.....i can go on and on and on

This is one of my favorite hotels in Chicago. Beautiful views of Lake Michigan and of navy pier. Just a few minutes walk to navy pier or Michigan ave. Has nice bar and a pretty cool nightlife on Friday and Saturday nights. The rooms were very clean and spacious.

Amazing Location
I will say the decor in the hotel was a bit much, dark dark lighting with bright yellow/orange lights. Kind of like a really dark vegas hotel. But the location and amenities made up for any decor in the hotel Would definitely stay again.

My stay at the "W" Hotel was quite enjoyable and considering it's location and hopping "Lounge", it was very quiet.
