Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Club Quarters and would definitely stay here again. Location was amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful. We really appreciated being able to check our bags before and after our stay. The neighboring bar/restaurant was delicious and convenient. Our room was clean and well stocked. The only downside was that the king bed was actually two twin mattresses with a sheet over them, so the mattress had a seam in the middle. But the bed was super comfortable and we slept well. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a great place to crash while exploring Chicago!"

8/10 Good
"The staff at this hotel were all very friendly and helpful. I requested extra coffee and other supplies for the room several times and they never failed to bring it to our room promptly. I did think the interior of our room was a bit outdated and could use some updating. The furniture, carpet, and bathroom all had a very old look and definitely needed updating badly. That was very minor though. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. There were some loud motorcycles and cars every night that insisted on constantly revving their engines around 11pm-12am which was annoying. Not the fault of the property at all, but definitely something to be aware of if you’re wanting a more quiet atmosphere."

"From beginning to end it was a great experience. They allowed me to check in early (based on availability). The front got busy but everyone took the time to let you know they saw you and would help you in a timely manner. The breakfast was surprisingly very well stocked and there was staff members there keeping everything full and clean. I really loved how centralized the hotel was and very was very easy to access public transportation. Overall I loved my experience here. Side note: The lounge on the 29th floor is pretty cool too."

"Nice bed in our king room. Location was perfect for us for all we had planned and coming in the CTA from midway . Disappointed no bar just the one next door at the restaurant that wasn’t open late at all . We flew in very early in morning hoped to get into a room early even if we had to pay extra but the check in person was no help at all in regards to check in early or any of our questions . Our family came in the next morning same time and this time a different check in person actually offered them to check in early ! We had nowhere to go so we walked a lot of the city waiting to check in . I think we walked 13 miles . Our room ,once we got it ,was nice tho we didn’t get the city view just the view across to a building and parking . Location was definitely the highlight of this hotel ."
