I've stayed at this hotel several times under the Comfort Inn & Suites franchise. The ACME is a great new design concept: a vintage hotel building, but interiors with clean modern lines very nice amenities and huge flat screen TVs. This is a big step up, and it shows in a good way. There is still some transition going on, such as a new restaurant/bar and re-designed front desk layout. These yet-to-come features can only improve an already nice experience. The location is superb, just off Michigan Avenue, but close to all shopping restaurants and the Loop. I will definitely stay again.

I stayed here on business just a week after this place had converted over from a Comfort Inn, and boy was it converted.

Rooms: The room is definitely not what you're used to. No closet, probably for space, just some hangers on a rack on the wall. Not a problem for me. The shower is a waterfall shower, and the bathroom is nicely renovated as a whole. Perhaps the weirdest part of the room is a giant set of lips on the bathroom mirror that glow bright red when the light is off. Quite a unique night light. The bed is very comfortable, and the TV leaves nothing to be desired.

Service: Top-notch all the way. We had to arrive early in the morning, and they were more than happy to keep our bags for us while we spent the day exploring Chicago, ready for us when we got back to check-in in the afternoon. Same upon checkout. Front desk was incredibly friendly and more than happy to help with anything.

Breakfast: Breakfast at this point is just a place-holder for a restaurant to come later, but for the moment it's a free continental spread with pastries, fruits, and cereal. No hot items to speak of, but it's free.

Location: Only a block away from the Grand station on the Red Line. Quick access from there to either ballpark, and all up and down the Magnificent Mile. Only 4 blocks from Portillo's, Al's, and Gino's East. Perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Summary: Stay here.

Just got home from a fun trip! First time to see Chicago and booked 2 nights at a great price, included breakfast. Rooms were clean, 42" plasma TV, comfy beds. Staff was awesome!! Location wonderful! Decorations so different only challenge was the size of room,but doable for a few days.

Unlike the other reviews I had a great experience. I had a huge room with a 42 inch plasma hd tv. The location is the best. One block away from Rush Street and the best bars. The Loews movie theater is 2 blocks away. No complaint what so ever. The price was right.
