“A nice hotel in a convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Service is really good here. It did take a little longer to check in than at other hotels, but it was fine. The rooms are nice. The bathroom is to die for. Glass shower doors, with option of handheld shower or overhead rain shower. Really big closet. Not my favorite coffee maker, but it was fine (the kind where you put the little plastic drawer holding coffee into the slot in the front). Wireless internet for $9.95 wasn't too slow.

The bed was really comfortable. The room is a bit smaller, but I don't think you should stay in this neighborhood in this city if you're looking for a sprawling room like you could get out in the burbs. The point of a hotel in Chicago is to be in Chicago!

Also, I got a fantastic deal on hotels.com. I would absolutely stay here again.

“Good hotel...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

people found this review helpful

It is quite a nice hotel with a great location. Just one block away from the Hancock tower and the water place. Provides great access to shopping on the magnificent mile. The rooms are clean and good. Staff is helpful. The beds were a bit squeaky tough, maybe because of the frame. The mattresses are very soft, so if you like firm or semi soft; this might not be for you. No free internet in the room, free internet in the lobby.

“5 star service”

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful hotel. The service was exceptional...the concierge and doormen were very friendly and the restaurant manager even greeted us by name. This is an excellent location for the best shopping and dining. The hotel was lovely mixing elegant historical decor with modern luxury. We would love to stay here again!

“Very Nice Character”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The location is fantastic, 1 block off of Michigan Ave, the hotel has updated flat screens, a really comfortable bed and nice lobby bar to relax in. The parking is expensive - $37 a night in the garage accross the street and they charge $9.99 per 24 hours for internet. They say the lobby is free but we could not connect the whole time we were there. Would have no problem staying here again.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at the Knickerbocker and we look forward to welcoming you back. We understand that the price for parking in Chicago seems quite steep. Like most hotels we rely on an outside valet parking company so unfortunately we have no influence on the pricing.

“Lots of character and nicely upgraded along the way”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

I stayed at the Millennium Knickerbocker for two nights on business. The hotel has lots of charm and character, reflective of its age, but has also been nicely upgraded somewhat recently. The guestrooms are very comfortable, with quality furnishings, a nice flat screen, and a stylish bathroom. Overall the hotel was very quiet and the location was extremely convenient to the Magnificent Mile, quality restaurants, Lake Michigan, and other attractions downtown.
