The St. Clair Hotel - Magnificent Mile

The hotel was under construction during our stay but the inconvenience was minimal. I would like to return when it is done to see what they did with it. The location is perfect. A short walk to many restaurants and Michigan Avenue is right there! It was very easy to get a cab to were we needed to and the door men were very helpful in flagging them down for us. I plan to stay there again in the future.

Liked: The location was perfect.

Liked: The location was perfect! The room was very clean and was perfect for my partner and I. We also loved that they held our bags for us in the lobby after checkout so we could explore the city for a few extra hours before we had to leave! great experience.

Liked: Beautiful finishings in the lobby and it was pet friendly for $50 extra. The bed was very comfortable and the finishes in the room were fairly modern, with a nice shower and well-lit bathroom. Valet parking was available for our vehicle for an additional $72 per night. Valet staff was very friendly as well. While we didn’t try it, the hotel also boasted a full restaurant and bar.
Disliked: If you have more than just a bag per person, it was a HUGE hassle to get up and down the hotel’s elevator (two elevators for 16 floors). We got packed up an hour early prior to our checkout time and that entirety was spent waiting for an elevator for the luggage cart. The elevators are also smaller than your average hotel elevator, so that was an added challenge. The hallways and elevator felt damp (like a basement) as well, so while waiting for the elevator, it was easy to break a sweat.

This would be an amazing...

Liked: Loved the location, room was a good home base
Disliked: Elevators were scary, 2 small elevators with a 5 person limit and people were always trying to push it by letting excess people in. It also appeared inconvenient for the staff trying to clean and having to use the same 2 elevators. They weren’t able to fit with the bins or carts they used so they had to wait.

Liked: Good location
Disliked: Everything else

Great location, crazy tiny rooms.

Liked: The location of the property was excellent.
Disliked: The rooms were so small for a family. The air conditioning hardly worked. It ran the whole time and our room only got warmer. Instead of coming back to a nice cool, relaxing hotel room, we found it was more stressful than anything.
