This is one of the best marriotts I’ve stayed at in a long time. I had a very minor incident during my stay with room service and the managers took care of it immediately (including some comp champagne and chocolates) and I was very impressed, I didn’t even have to ask what can they do to make up for it because they beat me to the punch! As a former employee of the Marriott brand I was always love the hotels and this stay reminded me of why I love it so much. Very walkable and so many shopping/food options near by. 10000/10.

Excellent location right in the heart of downtown Chicago, nearby train stations going into all sorts of directions (incl Union Station & O’Hare), plus key sights, shopping, and restaurants in comfortable walking distance. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of amenities on site. Beautifully designed lobby and dining areas as well as generously sized rooms exude a welcoming and warm atmosphere. Would come back anytime.
