MileNorth, A Chicago Hotel

I am originally from Chicago but wanted to play "tourist" on this trip. I found a discount for the Affinia and was a bit worried about the staff and the noise, given the previous reviews. However, I thought that this hotel was fantastic. The location was perfect- easy access to the river, the lake, the loop, Michigan Ave shopping, and tons of restaurants nearby. I could easily walk or take the el anywhere I wanted to. The staff was friendly and really helpful. The room was phenomenal- we ended up in a Queen bed suite that was superb! While there was some noise from the ambulances for the nearby Northwestern hospital, it wasn't too bad, especially if you're used to living in a city. I highly recommend this hotel.

From the charming valets to the friendly front desk, staff was wonderful. Great room, much better than expected. Pillow menu a nice touch. Philosophy toiletries appreciated Only negative: no coffee/tea service in the lobby on weekends. Local coffee shops crowded and a couple of blocks away. Will definitely stay here again.

Great Hotel, Great Location, @$104 per night a great value! Daily charge for internet use----very, very poor!!!

The staff was friendly enough, but especially one of the doorman, Victor. He recommended a pillow for me to use and it was great. The room was excellent, but the bathroom was just okay compared to some of the other boutique hotels in the area. A used bar of soap was let in the shower and so I threw it away. The bar inside the hotel was a bit pricey, so we went to Gino's East next door after having a drink at C-View. Went to the rooftop bar at 10:55 p.m one night and was told last call was announced although it was open and patrons were still enjoying the ambience and view. I was very disappointed as I only spent one night at the hotel. Wonderful fitness facility, though, with 24 hour access. The bed was great and extremely comfortable. No view to speak of, but that was okay. Saw other reviews that said it was noisy. It was a little noisy due to the hospital across the street, but I live in a city, so nothing unusual for me. It would have been nice if someone had mentioned to me about the Prix Fixe menu, but no one did. I just noticed it on the website today. Also, I was told wi-fi would cost; however, if you already have an ATT account, it is free.

Great location. Kind of a pain to have to ask for ice whenever you want some and then have to wait for it. Usually, it came pretty quickly. Staff was SO helpful, good suggestions. Bar on roof was really neat.

My wife and I take frequent one night "staycations" in Chicago. Affinia is in great location... half block off Mich. Ave., two blocks south of Water Tower. Room was huge, king bed very comfortable. Had a drink at their roof top bar. Friendly staff. Would go back again. We walked to Navy Pier and back on Sun. Walked down Mich. Ave. and back on Monday. Would recommend to friends.

Great location, great value. The AC was a bit noisy, but we slept so well it didn't matter. tip : booked though orbitz steals 50% off, great deal.

The hotel overall was wonderful. Friendly assertive service, also very accommodating to my odd arrival time, great amenities in the room. The two things I was disapointed with is one, the cleanliness of the room. I the floors were lightly dirty in the bedroom/bathroom area of the room. Personal hairs found underneath the sink counter and on the toilet. Two, the Air Conditioner was rather loud when the condenser kicked on. That should defiantly be looked into. On my two stay's, I had the same problem in different rooms. I am in the hotel industry myself, and know that these things happen, so I am not upset. An affordable additional 30 minutes of cleaning in the room would make a world of difference, and make the hotel stand out among others. Keep everything else up Affinia!

Lovely accomodations, comfortable, and as always, made an overnite getaway our extreme pleasure! The only inconvenience was the missing lighted "make-up" mirror that I had enjoyed using on previous vacations, so I didn't bring one with me. The staff were great and more than welcoming, as usual, (Pedro and Annie, favs). If we had our way, we would always stay at the AFFINIA CHICAGO.

Major shopping within easy walking distance. Went to theater, art institute, and millenium park. Location was perfect.
