I decided to go ahead and book rooms at Hotel 71 even after reading mixed reviews. While I don't regret staying there, I'm not sure if I would go back until a few minor improvements are made. However, there were quite a few things that I liked. I will list out the pros and cons so that anyone thinking of... more

I stayed for 4 nights and basically the hotel is very good if you think on its moderate price and great location. First I got a room with a great view but next to an elevator, very soon I realized the noise will be bad, so I asked for a change and they changed me to another room at the... more

Stayed two nights at Hotel 71 which I got a great deal on through Priceline. Staff was great! Upon arrival we were upgraded to a corner, river view room on the 26th floor. The hotel, itself has a fantastic location. Perfect for anyone visiting Chicago to sightsee or shop, which was our case. This hotel clearly isn't on the same... more

I stayed at this hotel while attending a conference in Chicago. I choose it for it's central location to the Loop, Millemium Park and Magnificant Mile. My room was large, the bed comfortable, and it had a nice view of the Chicago River. The positives end there. Upon arriving, I immediately discovered that a lamp on the desk had a... more

Our family of 4 stayed at Hotel 71 during our recent trip to Chicago, and we were quite pleased with it. The staff members were all incredibly friendly and helpful--the doorman was wonderful. We were upgraded to a very spacious corner room with an incredible view of the city. Room was very comfortable, though the bathroom showed its age. There... more

WE, myself and my wife, had a fantastic time in Chicago. We were never there before, and being a New Yorker at Heart living in Miami, I wasn,t sure a smaller city like Chicago could have enough to keep us busy for 5 days. We had a great time, the walking was easy, the food was good and the people... more

Elevators continued to be a problem. this is real - you will easily wait 10mins for an elevator - building maintenance has said this has been going on for years. Phone jack in room didnt work. I must have had a refurb'd room - it was nice. I was travelling alone on business for 1 nite, so the location for... more

I wish I had read just a couple of the reveiws on this site as it would have saved me a ton of aggravation. My husband and I are the kind of people who never complain when we're on vacation because we are happy to be on vacation. But where do I begin with complaints about Hotel 71? Not only... more

The decor in lobby has now seen better days. Only two elevators for 38 floors and one broke down. Both were slow but one was SCARY and they turned it back on after a short weekend repair. I was PRAYING (I mean seriously) that it would let me out without crashing. I walked down 9 floors so I would not... more
