We had a perfect stay! The room was very clean and nicely decorated. The price was great and I couldn't have asked for a better location! I would definetely stay here again when I am in the city! more

I attended a recent business meeting held at the Avenue Hotel. I was very impressed the the attentiveness of the staff on check-in and the very spacious room. The bed was comfy and I didn't hear a peep from neighbors on any side. The location was terrific as well - one block or so off Michigan Avenue. Parking was alot... more

I stayed at the Avenue Hotel for a reunion the end of June. It was a busy weekend in Chicago and the hotel seemed to be hopping. I had a Junior Suite, which is actually an ADA room and there were only a few minor issues with the room. There was no hairdryer in the room, we had to call... more

Pleasantly surprised that after booking a great rate on hotwire, we had a 2-room suite with king bed! A/C in the room did not work at all - but we weren't in the room except to sleep. We didn't inform the front desk of this till we checked out. Wonderful large showerhead, big fluffy towels/sheets/blankets, leather sofa (!). Didn't swim... more

My husband and I got a good deal on priceline, considering a summer weekend in Chicago. At check-in, they ended up upgrading us to a corner 2 room suite on one of the top floors. We didn't even ask! The bed was very comfortable and it was amazing waking up to a wall of windows looking DT and to the... more

We just spent a very enjoyable weekend at the Ave. Family and friends used the Ave as our "home base", while attending a family wedding. The hotel renovation is complete. From the front lobby to the sky lounge on top of the building, the Avenue is new, fresh, clean and very comfy! The staff continues a great reputation for outstanding... more

OUr stay in the Avenue was quite nice, the 2 queen bed studio suite is quite nice. Tv reception is poor, but the view and bedding more than make up for it!!! The english pub attached is reasonably priced and decent food. The lobby has an interesting design with somewhat annoying euro-pop techno music playing. The sky lounge seemed a... more

If you do stay at this hotel, be sure to walk from home (it's probably cheaper.) Parking is outrageous, and you will not be informed of this charge until after you check out of the hotel. If I had been informed of the extremely high rates to park my car, I would have taken a train or even parked somewhere... more

Every year, I take my Mom downtown for Mother's Day weekend. We try to stay at a different hotel every time to experience all the fun things to do in Chicago. I decided on the Avenue hotel this year because of its location (which is excellent) and its price happened to be within my budget. I called the hotel directly... more
