“Great Hotel Alternative”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

We were a little bit concerned about the DeWitt before we arrived in Chicago. Like New York, Chicago can be a difficult place to find reasonably-price accommodation within the confines of the city center. As it turns out, the DeWitt did not disappoint.

DeWitt Place doesn't bill itself as a hotel -- it's more like a medium- or long-stay apartment building. We arrived on a weekend and they warned us in advance that they don't normally staff the front desk outside of office hours. In the end it was no problem -- the housekeeping staff were on hand and quickly showed us our room.

For our family of four the only issue was the sleeping arrangements were not ideal -- one double bed and one sofabed that was not very comfortable. It was ok for the kids, but an adult would likely find it difficult to get a good night's sleep on the sofabed.

The bonus of staying in an apartment is the facilities -- full kitchen, separate bedroom and lots of space. Not only that, but the location is excellent. Very close to the waterfront and the John Hancock building, and walking distance to Navy Pier. Great for shopping if that's your thing, although it was a bit of a walk for the nearest decent grocery store.

The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Although we were only in Chicago for a couple of days, we'd love to come back and if we do, we'd stay here again

“Four day getaway for our Anniversary.”

Interesting place to stay. It's right up my alley with the full kitchen. A convenience / grocery store across the street.

Overall the unit was in great condition. Granted, this is not the Taj Mahal. But you are clearly getting a better deal than staying at the surrounding hotels.

The front office lacks.... We arrived to be told we were not paid in full. They tried to get another 50% of the bill. They offered to call the booking company to straighten out the situation. The front office apologized for the error. But! This is not the end of my tale of the front office.

The front office likes to talk out of both sides of their mouth. They showed me a bill of what we would have paid if booking directly through them(cheaper per nite rate)and in the same breathe said They had corrected the issue with the booking agency and we should not have gotten the unit that cheaply. We paid $120 per night. But they tell us to call them hey would give us a deal.

Draw your own conclusions....

I would stay here again. But watch my bill closely.

“Top Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

What a great place! It is actually an apartment block with long(ish) term residents so you get a full size apartment with kitchen/diner etc which was great!
The location is brilliant, the lake at one end of the street and all the shops and cafes etc of Michigan Ave at the other.
If you need a 7-11 there is one opposite but beware it does not have a sign! Come out the front door of the Dewitt and it's straight across the road, the place with the frosted glass, the buildings owners don't allow them to have sign!
If we go back to Chicago with out a doubt we would stay at the Dewitt it was lovely.

“Nice to stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

Staff was very firendly and helpfull. The room was large enough but need soms renovation. Windows opened difficult, doors of one wardrobe were broke, the the bath (damaged) and the showerhead need te replaced. However you had view from the windows and could even see lake Michigan. It's 3 minutes walk from the Hancock Tower en the Magnificant mile. So for the price an location i really can't complain over the few shortages of the room. The kitchen was good and all utensils available. I liked the bed

“Nice place in the heart of Chicago”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

First of all this is not a hotel there aren't room but little apartament !! It was perfect for our necessities: there was a nice kitchen with owen, a very big fridge. The bed wasn't a king size but a queen , the bath was qiute little but the shower was good!!
The place is so close to hancock tower, to magnificet mile but there was 1 1/2 mile to the CUB station ( chicago on the red line). We arrive form o'hara airport and need about 45 minute.
In 5 days no one cleaned the room and no changig of towel and sheets this was the only bad thing of the stay.
But at least a good place to stay in windy city!
