I enjoyed this hotel for my 2-day stay. Checking in was a breeze and staff were kind. My only complaint was that one elevator was working, but with a little patience that could be over looked. The room was clean. No stains on the bedding or in the bathroom. The hotel was walking distance for some of the tourists attractions in the area.

We were a little disappointed, it’s run down and rooms smell musty. Valet parking is a mini fortune of $75 per night. Not as modern as other 21c’s in other cities. Super noisy from the street at night, but not unbearable. Staff was super friendly.

The price is too high for what you get, the room was large, the bed was small, couch hard as a rock, shower was lousy(couldn't use soap or shampoo because of shower head angle), no microwave, weird refrigerator, had two telephone sized elevators, one of which was broken, for a 12 story building, no breakfast and maint (carpet, walls, bathroom paint was behind). Property was conveniently located.

This hotel was not terrible, but not great either. Our room was nice and felt relatively clean. However, outside of the room, the hotel was sort of dirty. The elevators are extremely slow and old, they are also small considering the size of the hotel. The location is great, but this hotel is honestly overpriced for what it is. There is literally a AC Hotel across the street that is far better with more amenities for about the same price of this one. I personally will not be staying in this hotel or any 21c Museum hotel again. There is just better in this area for close to the same price range.

It felt dingy and gross. A few days before my stay, I upgraded to a room with a city view and ended up with a room with a window that looked out to a concrete wall. I thought I was going to have a panic attack. The room felt cramped and closed in so I called the front desk and they moved me to another room (A corner room) which I had to pay $45 more dollars for. The experience was kind of a bummer considering it was my birthday and I had higher expectations because I stayed at the 21C Museum hotel in Oklahoma City and it was WAY nicer. I'd say the Chicago version of this hotel feels more like a dorm.

It was good. Bed was comfortable and I liked the sitting area in the room with separate tv. Problem is the AC was super loud and kept us up and the elevator was out the whole time so only one was working. We had to take the stairs 9 flights a couple times.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
As a professional traveler, as well have stayed at other 21C hotels. once you leave the bright lobby area, the elevators are tiny, the hallways are dark. For a Deluxe room, the amount of space in the bathroom was very disappointing. Lastly, try and find an outlet in visible sight to charge a phone, laptop--not located in good spots.
