Hotel Sax Chicago

We spent 7 days in Hotel Sax and were delighted by the location - our wind looked over the Chicago river and we had great music on the doorstep (literally). Only area for improvement would be the restaurant (Bin 36) ... it had very little atmosphere. My husband also thought the Crimson bar was a bit like a brothel (how does he know that) - I thought it was fun.

Overall the hotel was great. The room was very clean and large. We had a river view so we were able to see the river each morning as a different shade of green. The bellstand is in a very awkward place at the foot of the elevator banks. It made it very crowded at times and most of the time you were bumping into staff trying to either hold the elevator or help someone else. The location was great and we were able to walk just about everywhere. The lounge was nice although the drinks were $14 a piece. The door from the lobby to the bowling alley was locked so you had to walk outside.

I've stayed many places, but the Hotel Sax is by far my favorite. It's a perfect location, walking distance to almost everything. Room was very clean, and super comfortable. I do wish they had 4 pillows on the bed, not sure why there was only 3, but not a big deal. Every staff member I was in contact with was very helpful and super friendly. Great value for sure.

Great location with friendly, helpful staff --- special thanks to Joseph. Easy walk to State Street, river, and to Michigan Ave. Fun to enjoy House of Blues, 50 yards from front door. We will be back!

The hotel is located just beside the Michigan river, which means it is both near the loop and the two main avenues(state ave and michigan ave), there are blue line and red line train stations within 10 minutes walk. Beside the convinience, the hotel itself is also fantastic! The beds are so comfortable, and the room decoration is also impresive!

Shower head was awesome. Sheets, pillows, bed, all very comfortable attended a function on 4th floor and liked the funky austin powers room (my label)

Great location for accessing all the restaurants and activity of the River North area, as well as the loop - you also have easy access to public transport. The single King room was not huge but very comfortable and staff was helpful...very cool lounge too!

We got there got checked in quick, room was great staff was great everything was great besides the pillows my wife liked them but way too soft for me so if you like your pillow a little stiff make sure to bring your own, besides that great stay!

Highly recommended. Very central location close to al ot things.

1) Since the check-in counter is visually away from the elevator, I couldn't see the service people when I went in and out. Feeling is like a Motel. 2) There is no free WiFi and I didn't want to pay $24 a day to check my e-mail during the vacation. The rent is high already. Why not provide free WiFi? 3) No coffee maker. 4) They seem offer free coffee at the small lobby. However, it was empty when I passed by that morning.
