Excellent Property & Service
I stayed at the JW Marriott Chicago on a recent June weekend. I was stunned by a massive, gorgeous lobby with a pleasant waterfall in the middle. I was expeditiously checked in by a very nice guy named Alex, and proceeded up to the room. The room is quite high-end, tastefully and comfortably decorated, with MASSIVE windows and high ceilings. The beds were above and beyond the typical Marriott bed...I'd never rested so easy! My favorite part of the room was the bathroom. Massive, backlit vanity, huge soaking tub, luxurious shower, and a separate room with the toilet. It was pure luxury. The usual JW Marriott bathroom amenities (Aromatherapy) were perfect and relaxing as always. Regarding location, I had a love/hate relationship. I loved the location in regards to the El. It is right at the Quincy/Wells station on the Brown Line, which is very convenient up until about midnight. If you're returning/leaving after hours, you'll need to use the nearby Monroe Red Line (24 hours) station. It's only about 3 blocks and is very convenient. However, for a weekend trip, if you're looking to dine nearby, you may be out of luck. Most every restaurant is open very limited hours due to the Mon-Fri banking/business crowd the area is home to. Eat in the very nice restaurant in the hotel or travel elsewhere for a nice dinner. Regardless of this, I will definitely be staying at this hotel again! Already have another reservation booked for mid-August! Can't wait to go back and experience more of the hotel!
