Broadview Vacations from $566

We contacted the property about checking luggage early, no problem. Check in was quick as well as checking out. Markets and pharmacy about a block away. Restaurants, bars, pubs landmarks all within walking distance. Red line and brown line L train about 8 minute walk. Our room was a little small but was comfortable and had everything we needed, very clean and for being downtown surprisingly quiet. Would recommend and would return.

Good hotel, I’m just not entirely sure if the amenities and overall experience justify the price. Other than big building, prime location and a nice looking hobby, the hotel doesn’t really offer any differential amenity to any random half-priced hotel a few blocks away.

The first room we were assigned smelled like a cat. I'm severely allergic, so I knew right away (room 2204). The second room (1404) was nice and clean. Unfortunately the noise from Michigan Avenue is pretty much unbearable. It's an old building and no sound proofing has been done to the walls ... even from the 14th floor I could hear sirens all night, cars drag racing, and even gun shots. There are 5-6 elevators on this property, but the first set of 3 services the lobby to floor 22, and the second set services 22 - 30something. I found myself constantly waiting on an elevator. One morning at 8:30 am, I had to wait for 3 (very full elevators) to pass by. If I wasn't carrying a bunch of things I would have taken the stairs. On another occassion I actually got stuck in one of the elevators, as it wouldn't open at the lobby level. I had to take it back up and use the stairs. On a positive note, the location was nice. The gym was excellent, and the food on property was very good. I just won't be back because of the noise and the elevator issues.
