“Great Hotel and Location”

Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Downtown / Magnificent Mile

5 of 5 stars

7/8 found this review helpful

We recently spent three nights at the Courtyard on Ontario St. We were just 1 block off of Michigan Ave. about halfway between the river and the watertower. What a GREAT LOCATION! We were in easy walking distance of just about everything. We did use a cab to go to the Shedd Aquarium though.
The hotel was very clean, and our room large and comfortable. I was also very impressed by the friendly and courteous staff. There is a Starbucks right off the lobby which we used daily. We also had good experiences at the nearby Grand Luxe Cafe, Gino's East Pizza and Portillo's. In addition, there is a Trader Joe's within a block or so,which is a great place to pick up bottled water or some snacks at a very reasonable price.

“Great Hotel! The LOCATION is perfect”

Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Downtown / Magnificent Mile

5 of 5 stars
Augusta, GA
Nov 4, 2007
3/4 found this review helpful

I loved this hotel! The location is perfect! One block off of Michigan Ave. I was here on a workshop/mini vacation. When we (myself, sister, sister's friend and my sister in law) checked in I asked to be upgraded to a jr. suite, which we were. We were also asked if we wanted a refrigerator delivered to our room, which we accepted, at no extra charge. Everyone from the bellman to the front receptionist to house cleaning were very nice and made you feel like a special guest. Excellent recommendation to a sushi restaurant right down the street!
The warm cookies put out in the lobby was a nice touch after a long day of shopping and sight seeing! I would not hesitate to stay here again! Great Experience! Keep up the good work!

3/3 found this review helpful

I stayed here 2 nights over a weekend for business. It was a great location close to everything downtown. Their rates were more reasonable then some other hotels. I had some minor problems with the internet access but was able to get what I needed in the business center. The staff was helpful with downtown information. I also got a good pizza recommendation to go to Uno down the block.

“Highly recommended!!!”

5/6 found this review helpful

My husband and I just got back from Chicago last night. I thought I would leave a quick review because before I book a hotel, I read lots of reviews and they help me soo much.
Anyways, the hotel was wonderful. Location! Location! Location! it's a block from Michigan Ave and just close to everything. The attached parking garage was $28.00 for 24hrs with in/out priveleges. Everything was really clean and comfortable. I would definately stay there again!!!
