Affinia Chicago

Thumbs Up

I stayed 3 nights. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout. I enjoyed the decor. The elevators were prompt. I enjoyed being 1 block from ’The Mile’ and 5 blocks from the subway. I was 1 block away form my 2 destinations--Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Museum of Contemporary Art. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

We have stayed there before and enjoyed it-with the discounted price made it even better

I have stayed at the Affinia on several occasions and have enjoyed our stay. The hotel’s staff is positive, friendly and attempts to make your stay an enjoyable one. We would definitely stay there again.

Terrific!

When I got an amazing rate for this hotel, I wasn’t expecting much, but once I stepped into the lobby of the chic hotel, I knew this was something special. Located just steps off the Magnificent Mile this hotel was ideally located. The hotel was fashionable and extremely well maintained. The hotel staff were courteous and went out of their way to help me. Overall, this was a terrific place to stay and a terrific value.

Great Hotel

I can’t say enough about this hotel. The room was beautifully furnished and set up, with a great view of the streets. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Awesome

Great hotel, great location. Just a block away from the magnificent mile shops. Very clean and modern rooms. Will definitely stay at the Affinia again.

a wonderful hotel with excellent service.

The hotel was nicely appointed and the room was very comfortable. I loved the bathroom! It was well lit and roomy.

beyond expectations

The proximity to the magnificent mile made this hotel stay exceed expectations. It is not a tall hotel, and its only drawback is the hospital nearby. Otherwise, this hotel is fantastic. Every person working here has a helpful attitude. The rooms are clean and comfortable. And its right next to an excellent chicago style pizza parlor. Highly recommended.

Favorite Hotel Yet!

The Affinia Chicago has all the charm of a cozy, modern hotel nestled right in the middle of downtown Chicago’s exciting shopping district. The staff was always pleasant and accommodating, and the room was impressively spacious with a luxury spa-inspired bathroom with complimentary Aveda products. Your location can’t be beat - next door to Gino’s East Pizza, Niemen Marcus, and the rest of the Magnificent Mile. The restaurant is fantastic and dishes can be ordered for pick-up or delivered right to your room. The downstairs bar was a fun retreat with a friendly and informative bar staff - didn’t get to check out the bar on the roof because of weather. With the money I saved on Expedia, I was able to enjoy the luxury services that the Affinia offers including in-room massage and late night cupcakes delivery to the room. How can you go wrong with a hotel that offers you a menu of six types of pillows? I can’t wait to go back!

Would return with Expedia’s great deal

My fiancé and I got an amazing deal on a junior suite at the Affinia, a fabulous deal for any Chicago hotel! With such a low rate, my expectations were admittedly just as low. I was pleasantly surprised, however, as our room was spacious and comfortable, the location was magnificent and overall staff was courteous and friendly. The Affinia is a nice middle ground between a boutique hotel and large chain hotel. For a similar deal, I would most definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Wicker Park is great for shopping if you’re looking for independent boutiques as well as hipster brands.

Great location, serivice, very modern...will be back!!

Fun girls weekend get away. Great location. Can walk or short cab ride to everywhere you want to go. Great view from the rooms. All Aveda products in the room. Super modern. We’d go back here any day!!!

I stay at hotels downtown Chicago often, I loved this one!

The street was a little hectic due to an extensive hospital construction project next door but it was not noisy in the hotel. The room was beautiful and the in room shampoo and such was Aveda! The upstairs bar was very nice and the staff tried very hard to please. Great equiptment in the workout area even though it was small it was very nice. I would like to consistantly stay at this hotel from now on!

One of Chicago’s great hotels

The city view from our room was beautiful and the hotel is within walking distance of shops and downtown Chicago dining. I really enjoyed our stay there and cannot wait to go back.

Enjoy Chicago

Nice, clean and comfortable. Perfect location.

Charges for coffee and tea?

Our stay at Hotel Affina Chicago was very enjoyable. So many restaurants, stores, and tourist attractions were within walking distance and public transportation. The front desk, concierge, other attendants, and custodial staff were welcoming and helpful. We were surprised, though, that this hotel would charge for the coffee or tea bags in the room and did not have ice available unless room service was called.

Can’t wait to come back

Our stay at the Affinia Hotel in Chicago was perfect. The staff from doorman Daniel, to the front desk, and concierge Christopher were all extremely helpful and friendly. In fact, the doorman remembered our name over the whole weekend. Our room was very spacious, clean, and had an awesome view of the skyline. We had read some complaints about having to wait awhile for elevators but we did not experience that at all. The C-View Bar on top of the hotel also had a beautiful view of the Chicago skyline. In addition, we loved the location. We were only a block from the Magnificent Mile and just a few blocks to the Navy Pier. We also walked to Millenium Park and the Art Institute, which were only about a mile or so from the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Chicago.

Would go again!

This is a great hotel, very comfortable room, great location with proximity to Michigan Avenue. Service was good, room comfortable and clean. Comparable to the W without the pretension and techno music everywhere. I go to Chicago 2x a year on business and would easily stay there again. I small complaint, there was a courtyard/service entrance below my room (fourth floor) which was a little loud, next time I might request a room on the other side of the hotel or on a higher floor.

Excellent

This hotel is well located and very good. Near magnificient mile, the point for shops, restaurants and all a tourist needs.

a city tour using a hop in hop off bus. The view at the top of Sears Towers is great and the Millenium Park is beautiful.

Charge for coffee in room

I have stayed in the Affinia Gardens in NY and so expected and hoped for similar, high quality customer friendly service. The concierge service at the Affinia Chicago was excellent. They printed boarding passes, made dinner and tour reservations, etc. The main drawback was that there were no simple amenities. Even the coffee packets in the room were chargeable.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

There is a bakery about 2 blocks away that serves coffee.

I’d go the Affinia again

The hotel was great. The location was perfect for our vacation and the hotel was comfortable and clean. The staff were all very friendly. I’d definitely stay there again.

loved it!

This hotel was the best I have stayed in while visting Chicago. The location is perfect! You are 30 seconds from Michigan Ave, and Neiman Marcus is your neighbor! The rooms were spotless. The valet guys were super...we had a small issue with one semi-rude front desk girl, but perhaps she was having a bad day... Like other reviews, you do hear sirens from the nearby hospital, but it was hardly noticible to us, and is expected in a big city. We were celebrating our engagement, and mentioned it to the desk upon check in, which resulted in a high-floor room with direct views of the John Hancock building. Overall a perfect getaway - we won’t stay anywhere else.

Wonderful Hotel

Clean room, plush bedding, fluffy towels, Aveda products, great location, etc. My only complaint is the fee for wireless internet. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Can’t wait to go back

The hotel was located close to the downtown and all eating establishments. Hotel staff was very friendly and informative.

Traveler's tip on dining

The hotel is located close to most downtown restaurants. Allot of variety and prices.

Convenient location for this trip, but nothing spectacular

My recommendation is conditional. Locale was convenient, but the hotel is nothing outstanding. If this is where you need to be, it’s ok. In an email to the hotel, before the visit, I asked for a room with a view, if possible. We got a 6th floor room with a view of a couple construction elevators. They beep when they move, if you’ve never had the privilege. The construction across the alley from our room kept us up Friday night; Saturday night was a little better. Our traveling companions had rooms on the 20th and 26th floors, above the construction. I guess asking for a view was being a little pushy. The door staff and housekeepers were very efficient and friendly.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

Unless you need your car each day, park it yourself down the street in the public parking deck and save $11 per day. Save $150 or more per day by staying in the suburbs and commuting.

Will only stay here when I go to Chicago

This is a great hotel located close to Michigan ave close to shops. One of the best places to eat is connected to the hotel ginos east great pizza....

Surprised at the level of service and highly recommend!

We booked the Jr Suite for a place to stay for a bachelorette party downtown. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, the great layout and the five-star customer service. Every request was granted immediately and with a smile. We loved the comfortable bed, the decor, the water pressure, which can be iffy at any hotel, and the staff. I will always suggest this hotel to out of town family and friends and anyone wanting a nice hotel downtown.
