Clean room and bathroom with great smelling/quality soaps and shampoos. Great location near shopping and yummy restaurants, friendly staff, great roof top deck. Highly recommended. Nothing negative to share. Very happy with my stay here.

I was at the The Wit for an entire week on a company training program. I have some complaints about the service offered to the group, but I will ignore this for the sake of this review, since I don’t know how much responsibility lies with the hotel (e.g., one of the breakfasts was a Mexican breakfast and there were...

This is not a hotel for business travelers who need to work and sleep. Upon on arrival the maid was in the room next door and had the TV on, which was so loud I first thought my radio had been left on ... tonight, the gentleman in the same room can be heard in conversation and all other ways....

Thank you for the feedback. Please note that for those sensitive to sound/not sound sleepers, we can offer rooms without connecting doors, and other rooms with variable exposures to the city. Additionally, with the double-paned windows of differing dimensions, we have taken steps to be the most-sound proof environment within city hotels. As a last additional option, we do offer... More

I have visited this hotel location many times but had to write about the attentiveness, dedication to customer service and friendliness that front desk staff Mallory Krugman provided upon my last visit. I appreciate good customer service and I must call it out when I see it.

Full Time Business Traveler: theWit is a superb hotel on many fronts. However, depending on the type of traveler you are, there are considerations to make before choosing this mostly superb hotel. The hotel is 27 floors and is an attractive building with a stylish design around the first floor. It is a very stylish lobby, good elevator service (it... More

The Wit is well kept, well run, and has some great facilities - especially on the rooftop. Great place to stay on business, or to conduct business meetings. Also, since I was leaving right at rush hour, I walked the two blocks to the Blue Line station. I was at the airport and through security before my colleagues who took... More

I spent a Saturday at theWit. The staff is very courteous, and very helpful. Our room was nice (very clean). I will say that the acoustics are horrible--we were on the 20th floor, and I was awakened no less than five times by police cars/firetrucks blazing by. I could understand that on one of the lower floors, but on an... More
