“Excellent, friendly service”
Excellent service, clean comfortable room, food in the hotel restaurants very good. Location centrally located. Easy walking distance to everything on the Mile. Loved it. Will be back.
“Chicago's Best Hotel”
Definitely would go back!!!!
“Nice amenities”
Beautiful hotel.
“Best Chicago Hotel!”
We had a great stay at The Peninsula. The check-in process was swift and the room was magnificent. The rooms are big and the amenities are superb. The bathroom was big and LOVED the full tub separate from the walk-in shower. Especially liked the TV at the foot of the tub. A very high-tech room, everything in the room was controllable from the bed and having a fax machine in the room was convenient. All digital hookups for music are there too. The hotel itself has an great gym, half olympic-sized pool, excellent restaurants and bar. One of the finest features is the hotel's location, right on the corner of Rush and Michigan Ave. I would definitely stay here again and enjoy every minute of it! Please note: Keep your head on a swivel as this hotel is a great place for celebrity sightings...I will keep who I saw a secret! Highly recommend this hotel.
“They know what they are doing!!!”
A wonderful hotel with an extremely high standard of service. The only criticism I would have is that there was road repaving on the street outside our room and the city decided to have their workers (jackhammers and all) do it beginning at 3am. As a result, we called the front desk and they made arrangements for us to sleep in another room for the remainder of the night. I would highly recommend this hotel, but would suggest that you ask about current street work before they assign the location of your room.
“Lovely”
We were very pleased with the hotel, however I cannot give it a five because when we arrived, we were given a room with a queen sized bed. When I called down the the front desk they assurred me that it was a king...it was not. I called down again to let them know it surely was not and they said they would call me back with other arrangements. They did not call back. We proceeded to get ready to leave for dinner reservation and stopped by the front desk to get a solution reached. The staff was apologetic for the mix up and let us know that when we returned from dinner they had a room for us to move to. We moved and all was well after that, however the lack of response and urgency from the desk staff keeps me from giving them the highest rating.
“after that experience I'll never get my wife to agree to go anywhere else”
awesome service, amenities and location
“Elegant but not stuffy”
We were upgraded to suite upon arrival. When I requested a higher floor after viewing the room, they were happy to accommodate me. Unfortunately, a smoker had been in residence before us and the living room retained the smell. Since we had already made a change, we just opened the windows and lived with it for 2 days. Otherwise, our experience at the Chicago Peninsula was stellar.
“One of Chicago's Best Hotel”
Will stay at The Peninsula Hotel again.
“Chicago's Best Hotel”
