	Date of Stay: July, 2009
Great location. Near many restaurants and shopping. Slow elevators in morning when people where checking out.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Wonderful view. Bathroom sink leaked a little. The service and staff at the hotel were very good.

Date of Stay: October, 2008

Why, in a city of so many great hotels would you stay at a cheesy marriott? Most hotels in the area are lower priced and you will get more of a true chicago experience almost anywhere else. The restaurant in particular is disappointing. They are trying the trend of seasonal, local food and not succeeding. I found the menu pretentious, and the food mediocre. The one good theing here is the service. Stay at the Palmer House, the Affinia, or the Amalfi

Date of Stay: September, 2008

Good hotel conveniently located on magnificient mile. Every thing is within walking distance like lake michigan, Navy pier (or take the free trolley), water tower, eating, shopping, millenium park etc. Public transport easily available so don't waste money on car rental. You will also end up paying a daily parking fees as there is no free parking in the hotel. Try to get a room with a view of the magnificient mile you will also get magnificient view of the lake michigan.

The hotel was located right on the Magnificent Mile giving us access to most of Chicago's must see places and restaurants. The people were happy to help and very nice. They even gave us our room for an extra hour at checkout and held our luggage for a couple hours so we did not have to lug it around while waiting for our flight out. I would definitely stay there again, no question.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

Staff was very accommodating in every way. Breakfast costly. Hotel is in a prime location. The rooms are clean and the bed isvery comfortable and pillows. The staff really go out of their way to fulfill every wish or whim. The breakfast is over priced. I don't think a buffet should be & $20.00. I got a lunch buffet at the famous Signature Room in the John Hancock Center for $18.00 per person. Other than that I only had one bad experience with some of my neighbors that were loud and noisy.

Date of Stay: July, 2008

The Marriot on the Mile was absolutely the best location hands down if you are visiting Chicago on vacation. Once you walked out the door you are in the middle of everything. Every tourist attraction you've ever seen on tv or in a magazine are walking distance or just a cab drive away. The staff was really fast and helpful, and the room was excellent and clean. The bed was absolutely wonderful after a long day of walking. I know its always tricky when picking a hotel when going on vacation because you want to stay at a hotel that will be a pleasent experience and the Marriot on N. Michigan Ave. will not dissapoint. You will be in the middle of the whole Chicago experience.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
Beautiful hotel. Breakfast was pricey but otherwise wonderful with large selection. The lobby, bar and restaurant were very inviting, comfortable and well decorated. The bed (mattress) was sooo comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling window provided great view from room. Would definitely stay here again.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Good location. No fridge or microwave. Room small. Beds small. No specific complaints, but it was nowhere near as nice as I expected.

Date of Stay: August, 2008

I have been a loyal customer of the Marriot for several years. I use it both for business & pleasure. I was very disappointed with my recent stay. I arrived at the hotel on Friday afternoon to find that our room was not ready. I was told that we would receive a call with an hour. When we didn?t hear anything, I ended up calling call back to find out that it still wasn?t ready. This is unacceptable. We had travelled most of the day and the last thing we wanted to do was kill more time while our pre-reserved room was being cleaned. By the way, the room had a used water bottle behind the night stand and a blue towel (I presume from the previous guest) located on the coffee table. Nothing like waiting for a ?clean? room. In addition, the elevator had issues most of the weekend. The first time we experienced any problems was on Saturday morning. At which time, it took quite a while for the elevator to arrive. Once on, we actually endured ?turbulence?. I was almost ill when we arrived in the lobby. What a nerve racking and potentially dangerous experience. On Monday, the elevators were not working at all and were forced to use the service elevators. While waiting, we met several other guests on the 42nd floor who also had subpar experiences this weekend. One group had to change rooms a few times and then were spoken to very rudely when they complained. Another older gentleman ended up walking 14 floors because of the elevator issues. I really do feel that our experience this weekend was the worst I?ve had with a Marriot property. In the past, I have always valued the service that I have received at the Marriot.

Date of Stay: June, 2008

I loved this hotel! They let me check in 5 hours early even though I didn't call in advance. My room was on the 39th floor and had a killer view of downtown. It was extremely luxurious and even had a 2 person shower with massaging jets. I was never in the room since there was so much to see on the Magnificent Mile but everything about this hotel was luxurious. The staff was extremely helpful with directions and activity suggestions.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
Great location with view of Mag Mile and the lake. Good food in hotel restaurant. Down side was noisy people in hall and sirens on street below.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Clean, friendly, and reasonable. Well located. Restaurant was a little expensive. Clean, friendly and well located. Clean. Friendly, well located.

Date of Stay: August, 2008

This Marriott hotel is located nicely along Michigan Avenue. We arrived during a busy time of the day but check in was fast. Our room had very comfortable beds. The TV though reminds you of the old times and the bathroom is quite small. The Restaurant in the 2nd floor is real nice. It is quite pricy but the ambiance is worth it. The fitness room (machines and free weights) looks a little dated. Waiting for an elevator at check out took a long time.

Date of Stay: June, 2008

Hands down the most genuinely excellent service I've had at a hotel. Many hotels instruct their staff to smile and say their pleases and thank yous. The result is often sacharine. For our stay, my fiancee and I could not stop commenting on the genuine warmth of this staff. EX: I was talking to my fiancee about where to catch the Metra Train and a bell boy just passing through and without being asked offered extremely helpful information. When we checked in we found a lovely room but one that had no fridge. We called down to say we loved the room but could we switch for 1 w a fridge. They said they'd BRING us a fridge. How much? Complimentary. How fast? 5 min. The Sunday buffet closes at 11. We arrived at 11:15. The staff said, you go ahead, we'll keep it open a little longer for you. The front desk was a joy to deal with. Bellboys were able to get us taxis at all hours of the day and night within seconds of being asked, even when many people seemed to be using their services. Delicious Angus burger and thick yummy fries delivered to our door in 15 minutes from a vry courteous rm service. Negatives? The elevators were slow, causing a bit of a crowd waiting due to delays.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
The hotel was very clean, staff friendly, and location fantastic! If you are looking for a hotel with a real antique feel, then this is the place for you. The only main complaint was that I was already paying a hefty price just to stay there, and when I wanted to use the gym, I only realized then that I had to pay an additional $18/day for gym access. Other than that, no complains.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Location. Temperature control. Very disappointing for a Marriott. Our first room had some serious temperature issues. It took repeated calls to the operator to actually get a new room for the remainder of our stay. Our second room was much better, however the bathroom was so small.

	Date of Stay: August, 2008
Beautiful room and view over the city. Elevators are a tad slow. Restaurant pricey but staff was delightful. Food was very good. Hotel staff aims to please. Only issue was valet parking and getting them on the phone. All questions were answered correctly. Bar was a nice diversion.

	Date of Stay: April, 2008
We were very disappointed in our stay here. The room was extremely small, the lobby was under construction, the elevators were very slow. The staff was OK, but I expect a higher level of service from a hotel of this caliber. The only good things were the location & the bed was comfortable. There are nicer hotels in the same area for much less money.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Great location, quiet room, and good facility as an old downtown hotel. Good for business travellers, but not great for family with children.
