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.

I absolutely enjoyed my experience at the W I was in the king suite. Everything was clean and accessible. The concierge was very helpful in every way. Everything was walkable distance. The pier was across the street where I had a beautiful view from. I can’t wait to come back.

The room I had was clean but, not well taken care of. Bathroom tile pieces were falling off, no fan in the bathroom to remove the steam. I booked two queens those beds were like fulls very small. Overall staff was nice. Jasmine at the front desk was very helpful great customer service. The parking price is crazy! We used valet service, 86 dollars a day, no one asked or approached us to help with luggage. If i returned to Chicago I wont be staying here again. Im pretty picky when it comes to little details in rooms with upkeep.

Property desperately needs renovation. Booked a room with a view but there was a nest of spiders on the window so we kept the shades closed and couldn’t enjoy the view as much as we would have like for what we paid for. Shower stall looked dirty. Old furniture and fixtures. Old carpeting. Old elevators. For a W Hotel I was really disappointed

4/10 Fair

This property at one time was probably a wonderful hotel but it desperately needs renovation. The worst thing was I booked a Lakeside view room, with an upgrade for the view. Well the view was great but it was interrupted by a disgustingly amount of large spiders in the window and on the side of the window. They were everywhere so I had to keep the curtains closed so I didn’t see them and as such couldn’t enjoy the view like I wanted to. This is horrible especially since my room was on the 16th floor! How does a nest of spiders get to the 16th floor of a concrete building? Anyway, I wanted to get compensated for the lack of view but they only took off $50 of dining for one day at least. The shower tiles looked dirty so I spread a towel On the floor to take a shower. Also the room needs upgrading. The furniture was warped, water damage, old fixtures, the smoke detector wasn’t working (no light was visible that let you know that it was working. Very poor experience for a hotel that is a W and on Chicago, on the lake. Especially for the amount they charged for the room. We deserved more for our money.
