I travel to Chicago twice a year for business and have chosen the Avenue Hotel for the past four trips. Coming from San Francisco my standards are high and I find the Avenue Hotel offers several major pluses. First, its location to the Magnificent Mile can't be beat. Second, the upgraded room that I received on two of my last... more

We went for our 28th anniversary and had an excellent time We got the standard room with a king size bed on Priceline for $122 a night. The public area is very small and that would limit me paying more, but it was well worth the price we paid. The room was nicely appointed and all the furnishings were very... more

We were allocated a junior suite on the 14th floor, high enough up not to hear most of the traffic noise but not high enough to drown out the emergency vehicles sirens that were arriving, day and night, at the massive hospital across the road. Plus there was a contant thumping noise, maybe a water pump or something to do... more

Booked on priceline- as Four Star- Four Star might be a reach but certainly a solid 3 to 3.5 star. Lobby was quite plain. Four check in desks. Door man very helpful. Room was nice- recently remodelled- nice well lit bathroom, with new fixtures, a big multi streamed shower head with adequate pressure. Towel rich. The room also was spacious.... more

Having stayed at six other places, we were quite tired when arriving in Chicago. Avenue Hotel was easy to find and we were pleasantly surprised by quite how close to everything it is located. (Steps from the Mag Mile) Staying here didn't break the bank which meant we had money left to shop unlike other hotels in the area. Checking... more

The Avenue Hotel is a wonderful property in a great location for any Chicago activity. The large, well-appointed rooms are comfortable and relaxing, however, internal and external noises abound! Lots of sirens all day and night and you can hear every movement above, below and right outside rooms. The lobby is stark and very modern, but even a roach coach... more

We went to Chicago to spend a few days after being in New York for 6 days. We were exhausted and wanted some relax and real holidays. From the begining the people, in Chicago and specially in the hotel were very nice. We got an upgrade, thanks Arta, and we did enjoy every single day in the hotel. The people... more

Like pretty much everyone, the location is excellent for downtown Chicago - within easy distance of buses and the metro. Initially we were given a large room on the 39th floor (fantastic views) but... it was next to the aircon for the hotel. When this kicked in, even the furniture vibrated, to say nothing of the noise. The first offer... more

I was able to get a really great rate on Priceline the day before our arrival. This hotel has been renovated and I believe used to be the Radisson. We were pleasantly suprised! We could not have aksed for a better location! We took the train from MDW (Orange line and then transfer to Red line) and then walked about... more
