We booked at the Affinia Hotel May 14-18, 2009 through the hotel’s website for $115-135 USD/night for a studio suite, after seeing it on travelticker. Our very spacious suite included a double bed, fully stocked mini-bar, large flat panel TV, wireless internet (extra fee of $10/24hrs), coffee supplies as well as a couch and chair – easily large enough for... more

I had stayed at the Affinia Chicago and other Affinia properties many times over the past several years. Recently, I had to cancel a reservation. Despite what appears to be a mixup between Amex Travel services and Affinia's policies, Affinia insisted on charging me for a missed stay. I spoke personally with the manager and explained that I was a... more

I spent nearly a week at the Affinia while on business. I chose the hotel because of the reviews I read in this forum. I typically stay at the large hotel chains. We arrived at about 8pm and the bell/doorman working was absolutely wonderful. He was there throughout our stay, new our names, greeted us like family, and was the... more

I am beginning to think boutique hotel means "small rooms." I'll trade some trendiness for larger, more comortable rooms and some double or triple-paned windows. My wife was in town to take the bar exam, and noise at night was a concern. The desk said we were on the quiet side, yikes. The rooms were clean; the staff was a... more

Booked 5 nights at the Affinia Chicago from 22nd May following the good reviews on Trip Advisor and can honestly say that it lived up to it's reputation. We booked the hotel in November, and from the outset we received updates from the concierge via email to keep us informed of what our options were for pre-booking room amenities, such... more

Found an outstanding rate for a studio suite on hotels.com. The room itself was nice, with modern furnishings but the bed and bathroom should have been larger. All studio suites have queen size beds, and the bathroom for such a large room was tiny. Cons: Windows need soundproofing, studio suites only have queen size beds, doors do not have a... more

The hotel was really nice and clean. But I requested early check in and when we got there they wanted us to wait an hour after reg. check in! Needless to say i complained and they happened to find a room for us, but it was the whole point. I got a jr suite for my husband and I since... more

Great place to stay if you are visiting Chicago. It's just one block east of the Magnificent Mile and is in the heart of downtown. Overall service was great. Only thing to be aware of and this really doesn't fall on the hotel is that it is also right across the street from a hospital ,so a couple of nights... more

We stayed at the Affinia Hotel for our honeymoon. The room was very nice and we have a great view of the John Hancock building. Christoper, part of the hotel staff, was wonderful with giving us directions and helping us get a cab. The location was great also. Right around the corner from the Water Tower. The cons of the... more
