Pool was overcrowded at all times. Very dirty pool area. Staff couldn’t keep up with towels. Unsatisfied with stay. Room was dirty. Waited 45 minutes for a simple breakfast sandwich and waffles. No coffee. No hot water. Wish I could get a refund.

Upon arrival, I did not receive the room that I booked, initially. I intentionally booked an accessible room because my nephew has special needs. I went to the front desk and I was then accommodated. The condition of the room was ok. There was a lot of dust under the beds and I also noticed that the rugs had stains on them. On Wednesday, during my stay, I called for room service three times for garbage removal. I called initially at 9:30 am. I called again at approximately 5 pm and then again at approximately 6:30 pm. A nice gentleman came and removed the trash for me. Overall, the hotel is aesthetically appealing, the front desk administrators were very nice and accommodating, the pool area is nice, and the hotel felt safe.

Disappointed hotel stay

The room had bare concrete walls and bare concrete ceilings, looked like a warehouse. No closet in the room, just open hangers. Bathroom no grab bar, no shelf for your shampoo or soap. Room is cleaned every other day and you have to chase down the maid. Poor water pressure at sink, no on-site restaurant. For breakfast we had vouchers we could not use, sausage egg biscuit was out of stock and the other choices were aweful. Coffee is good as long as you get it between the hours of 6am-10am otherwise it’s shut tight behind a steel door they promptly close. Their food choice is called re fuel, selections of candy and cookies to purchase and order the poor excuse they call breakfast. Noisy rude guests who slam doors and yell and carry on early morning and late into the night. Chicago is a great city to visit with many nicer places to stay than the Aloft. The only redeeming qualitiy is that it’s within walking distance of all the attractions and the magnificent mile. Plus good restaurants within walking distance.

Exceeded Expectations - Fantastic Experience!!

The Aloft team was extremely kind on the phone, in-person, and over email. They elevated an already wonderful location and set of amenities to the next level. During an extremely busy weekend they were well-staffed, attentive, and so helpful at every step. Truly one of the best experiences I’ve had at a hotel stay. The price felt like an absolute steal for what we got. Thank you to the hard working team at Aloft Mag Mile - you guys made our trip!! Definitely check out the pub on the corner too!

Check-in was not friendly. Alao got surprised with a $150 deoosit, which after searching a few pages and scrolling waaayyy down to the bottom of the page, there was the deposit policy. This should be more up front, noted with the overall cost. The lady who checked us in had zero personality, did not tell us what room or floor we're on, had to check the key card with our hands full of luggage, did not let us know where the pool, gym or other things are, also zero pamphlets papers in the hotel room to give us a general clue as to where anything is, had to go explore. The tv did not work, which after a long drive and getting here late in the evening, we were wanting to swim, come back to our room to watch some tv before sleeping. Instead, we waited in our room while the maintenence guy tried to fix the tv which he ended up not being able to(he was nice btw) and by the time he was done, it was too late to go to the pool. No vent/fan in bathroom Sliding door for bathroom that doesn't lock, gets stuck on the track, pinch your fingers trying to realign it on the tracks to open so you can get out. Doesn't completely shut so ppl can see about 1/4-1/2 inch USB ports did not work. There may be more I need to add, have only been here 2 hours. We'll see what the night and morning have in store for us.
