Terrible, Avoid and stay elsewhere

This place nickel and dimes you. I paid close to $300 in added, hidden fees. They only have valet parking, which costs $79/day and the valets are so slow. It took them over 45 minutes to get my vehocle and 5am when i was the only person requesting a vehicle. The overnight front counter lady who looks like Lori Lightfoot is useless. Hotel is old, expensive and littered with hidden fees and useless employees.

Disappointed

Was excited to stay here as I remember being here as a kid. This hotel is in desperate need of renovations. Ceiling in the lobby is peeling. Carpet in the rooms is warn and tattered. Bathroom fan doesn’t work so the steam doesn’t get out. Pillows were very thin and mattress was starting to feel warnout. Overall service was fine. Didn’t really interact much. This hotel has a long history in Chicago. It’s a shame they are letting it go.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The bed was ok. The shower was great. Nice walk to a lovely beach. Shopping was extensive with a lot of high end stores. Internet access was good. Only complaint was tv app connections didn’t load. Very safe and clean area with Millennium Park and other museums and river tours just a mile walk away.

Disappointing Stay at Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel We stayed 4 nights at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel, hoping to treat our son after a tough summer. Sadly, the experience didn’t match the price. From the start, service was poor. Staff on the phone and at check-in were cold and dismissive. We had a rollaway bed confirmed through Expedia and via email, but it never came. When we followed up, we were told it wasn’t available and then rudely told it wouldn’t fit. No apology, no help. The room was dated but clean. Shower leaked, bathroom fan didn’t work (we were first told it would be fixed, then told fans were disabled in all rooms), and Wi-Fi was unusable. No room service either. The doorman was the only consistently kind staff member. The bartender was friendly too, and the bar food was good but cash only and it was only around 7pm was strange and inconvenient. Overall, the front desk staff clearly didn’t care. I believe this attitude reflects poor management or ownership. We love Chicago, but we will never stay here again.

The rooms were old and there was a damp moldy smell. It looked like there was water damage in the room by the baseboard. The staff was helpful and decent with us, but most of the interaction was when we were trying to get a different room. On the upside, the cleaning person for our room was very pleasant and did a great job.

Hotel is too busy & doesn't care about their guest

Staff was not very welcoming. For some reason I was given a handicap room directly next to the elevator for booking third party. I realized I didn't get the possible room upgrade or my free drink coupons for being VIP, I went downstairs to ask and got snipped for asking about the upgrade and they didn't want to give me the two drink coupons because it only showed one person on the reservation when obviously there were two of us. The next morning I needed change for a $20 to tip the valet. I went to the front desk and was told they were cashless but to ask at the hotel restaurant. I went there and the manager told me she didn't have time to get me change because she was too busy with her paperwork. Luckily the nice bellhop gave me change from his own wallet. For being an iconic hotel for chicago, the service subpar and unwelcoming.

Great hotel, we chose this due to being in the millennium mile and parking being right across the street (private parking, nothing to do with hotel, we found it easy being right across the road). Everything is walkable. Really enjoyed our stay
