As a platinum Starwood Members, we just completed our third stay at the Westin Michigan Avenue Hotel. As a Starwood Member, you have several hotel choices when staying in downtown Chicago: Westin River North, Sheraton Chicago, W City Center, W Lakeshore, Four Points, and Termont Chicago. We have stayed in all of these SPG properties except the Termont (which is... More

I generally enjoy being at the Westin, and this time was no different. The proximity to the Apple Store and Best Buy were quite useful, and I walked to the office at the Merchandise Mart in the morning, stopping at the Starbucks along the way. I was treated well, and had a spacious room. No complaints here... Ooh - and... More

Attended a conference in this Westin in August, 2011. I was expecting more from this brand. There is a good fitness center, but no pool/sauna/hot tub. Valet parking is your only option at $55 a day. The room was clean, the staff friendly and helpful, however, the walls were extremely thin. At night the goings-on next door were plainly audible.... More

I recently finished a stay at the Westin Michigan Avenue. This was the third time I have stayed at this hotel. This was the best of the 3 stays. The checkin was fast and friendly. We stayed in a Crowne Suite. This suite was huge. The suite was on the corner of the building allowing you a view of both... More

The location worked very well, and my room was clean and quiet. However, the decor was tired compared to other Westins, and the amenities were fewer or of lesser quality. The pub restaurant downstairs doesn't serve the typical health-focused Westin menu, and the quality of room service food was poor (e.g., my oatmeal arrived cold). One morning I opted for... More

I was here for 3 nights on business and the conference facilities were very good. I think the location on the Magnificent Mile is pretty hard to beat - great shopping and restaurants are all very close by. The bed was super comfy, the room was a good size and the bathroom was clean and uncluttered. The bench top in... More

I'm sitting in my room as I type this, right next to the elevator, which has been going non-stop. Of course, when I came into the room, the fan was on full time, so I didn't realize it until I turned the fan off. $300/night, I get to hear the elevator running all night. Can't switch rooms as they're booked... More

Daniel, I am sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We did experience a water outage and our lobby was extremely busy due to the Festival of Lights. These factors should not have affected your service and we sincerely apologize that it did. I would like to offer you SPG points for the water issue so please... More

Location is convenient if you're a first time tourist and want to stay close to Michigan Avenue; but other than that, stay away from this chaos of a hotel. Lots of guests get rooms at this hotel via Priceline for say $60 - $80 per night so you can imagine what that does to a supposedly 4-star hotel. Service is... More

RNG1008, We regret to hear our service was lacking during your stay with us. Since we are centrally located on Michigan Avenue we have many guests in our lobby at any given time. Your experience is certainly not typical Westin service and we are grateful for your comments so we can explore the root cause. More

We will never stay there again. We were promised and paid for a view of Michigan Ave to watch the lights festival parade,however they failed to explain their definition of 'view' was actually a side view. Plus they promised free internet but when we got home and reviewed our bill, they had tagged us $11.31 3 different times on our... More

Not once could we ring directly through to the concierge desk ALWAYS VOICEMAIL, although they did call us back later....we could not hear them over the traffic.
