6 night stay in July
I stayed here with my wife and daughter for 6 nights in July. I did a lot of research before deciding on the Avenue. It ended up being a great choice and the hotel played a big part in the success of our vacation. For a first timer visiting Chicago, the hotel is in the perfect location off Mag Mile and close to almost everything by walking. If you are visiting American Girl, which we did many times, the location is a short walk up the street and was very convenient. We had a hotel room on the 36th floor along with a nice view of the city and Trump Tower thanks to the very helpful and nice women that checked us in. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very clean. We did hear the ambulances from the nearby hospital, but by the second day it becomes part of the background noise and you really don't even notice it at all. The front desk check in was great and the people were very helpful throughout our stay. It was nice having the Elephant and Castle Pub connected to the hotel for a quick bite to eat and there is a Dunkin Donuts a few block down along with a great breakfast/sandwich shop called the Corner Bakery a block over. The rooftop pool was nice to have for a quick swim and the view of the lake was beautiful from the 40th floor. Our experience at this hotel was fantastic and I would stay here again when visiting Chicago.
