I recently spent four nights at the Thompson Chicago for a business trip, and while I had high hopes, the experience fell short. I booked a king room but was given two doubles due to the hotel being oversold. At 6'3", sleeping in a short bed was uncomfortable, and I ended up with only 12 hours of sleep over four nights. My room was on a higher floor, but this didn't make up for the downgrade in be...

Very nice
Pros (+) Great location, beautiful hotel with comfy rooms.
Cons (-) Would be nice to have ice machines on each floor
Pros (+) Room was well appointed and gorgeous - well laid out with an L shaped seating area , great bed, lighting and tech charging ports . Lovely staff .
Pros (+) Very hospitable. Staff very forthcoming. Nice space!
Pros (+) comfy bed, great location, nice lobby.
Cons (-) Front desk lady was not very helpful. Toilet smelled like sewage. They called me from front desk to tell me someone was at my door from hotel personnel when I had privacy sign on...that woke me up...What kind of "privacy on" is this?
Pros (+) Nice Interior Design. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. This is a much better location than other hotels I have stayed at further south. We took a very nice walk north to Lincoln Park. It is a beautiful neighborhood and does not even feel like you are in the city.
Cons (-) Too pricey for me to use other than business. I did not need or use "facilities" so that is the only reason I did not give that an "excellent" score. We were not impressed with the breakfast food. We were very pleased with our lunch at Gibson's across the street.
Pros (+) Fantastic location, outstanding room. Would go back in a minute.
Pros (+) The Thompson Hotel Staff were amazing, very friendly and accommodating. We were upgraded to a corner king suite as it was our wedding night so that was a pleasant surprise as well. Overall wonderful experience. Would definitely go back.
Cons (-) Nothing!
Pros (+) We loved everything about it. From the very beginning (checkin) till the very last second before we left the hotel. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The Concierge made arrangements for a boat trip on the Chicago River. Housekeeping kept our room in perfect shape. We had a room on the 21st floor which had the perfect view towards the chicago skyline. It was awesome. I gladly recommend to visit...
Cons (-) nothing!
