Just Add More Paint
The location and the staff are the two best things about the Tremont Hotel. The location is great for it close Michigan Avenue shopping, Rush Street, and Oak Street Beach. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating
The hotel, however, is in poor condition. It seems that Starwood thought that they could update the hotel by adding another layer of paint on the walls and putting in flat screen televisions. The amenities in the room are modern and the beds are comfortable, but the hotel itself is stuck in years gone by. The hallways are narrow and dingy. In addition, there are several layers of paint on the walls in the hallway and the room I stayed in. There is also only one elevator in the hotel and that elevator is slow and very small. One could not fit a family of four with luggage in the elevator.
In short, the hotel is in a great location. But, the hotel is in need of a serious update.
