This was my first trip to Chicago and I was happy to see that customer service is alive and well in Chicago, especially at the Hotel Cass. Every employee from front desk to housekeeping to doormen would always make sure to ask how I was enjoying my stay. I asked for a small fridge and it was delivered within minutes... More

I gave the hotel the benefit of putting 4 stars, though I must say I typically would have taken away a star for each of my three concerns. First I'll start off with the positives. It is hard to beat this location. The room was very clean with minimal marks on the walls. The television was huge, with a pretty... More

We ended up booking this hotel at the last minute due to our previous hotel being a complete disaster. The staff were very welcoming and nothing seemed to much trouble. Although we booked in a hurry and didn't research the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised by the location, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. The hotel is in a great... More

I stayed with my family for a couple days. The staff was very friendly, always greeting everyone with smiles and hellos. Located near the Red line, it was easy to cross the city and downtown. The Trader Joe's and Starbucks across the street is great for snacks. Complimentary breakfast is downstairs, the dining area is reasonably large and accommodates groups... More

I stayed here for two nights while in Chicago for my job. Overall I was very happy during my stay. The front desk clerk allowed me to check in early when I arrived and she was very nice. I got the exact room I paid for with a decent view from my 10th floor window. The room was seriously small,... More

The rooms as you can see from the rest of the reviews, are small. Don't expect much space in either the bathroom or bedroom. Bed was relatively comfortable. Can hear EVERYTHING going on in the hallway. Elevator is EXTREMELY slow, took the stairs. We mainly stayed here for location, which is EXCELLENT. Right in heart of downtown Chicago. Overall the...

Not knowing Chicago it was very difficult to pick a Hotel. There also very expensive in relationship to our area. It's a very old building & because of this the Rooms aren't as large as expected, but it suited our needs just fine. The Hotel employees were exceptionally nice & genuine. They helped us in every way possible, directions, restaurants,... More
