    Convenient stay with friendly vibes

    Had a nice time here! The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the check-in easy. My room was cozy and clean, just right for what I needed. Breakfast was pretty decent. The only bummer was the noise from outside. could hear a bit too much traffic. Still, great spot for a quick getaway.

    comfortable stay but minor dining issues

    The hotel staff proved to be genuinely friendly and always willing to assist us. We truly appreciated the complimentary bottled water provided every day, making our stay more convenient.

    Dining options could use some improvement.

    incredible food
    cozy room

    Ideal for families looking for comfort

    The room we stayed in was cozy and had these incredible floor-to-ceiling windows, I could just sit there all day.

    Did I mention it wasn’t exactly cheap but you know what, worth it.

    poor dining options
    room issue

    The stay was primarily to explore nearby attractions like Millennium Park and Navy Pier. I really appreciated the Bluetooth bathroom mirror and the smart TV, which added a modern touch to the room. The staff was empathetic and resolved our room issue quickly, making the experience smoother. However, some areas, like dining, could use improvement as meals were quite disappointing.

    biking path
    great amenities
    bathroom space

    We loved our stay, especially exploring the 20-mile path along Lake Michigan. The kids enjoyed biking while we took in the stunning views. The hotel also had great amenities, including a nice lobby restaurant where we had breakfast together.

    In my wife’s opinion, the bathroom could use more space for families.

    modern hotel
    great atmosphere
    cozy bed
    indifferent staff
    poor housekeeping
    expensive parking

    I really appreciated the warm welcome from the staff upon arrival at Le Meridien Essex. The hotel is modern, right across from Grant Park, offering a great atmosphere. My room had large, opening windows, and the air conditioning kept things cool without much noise. The bathroom impressed me with a spacious shower and good shelving. The bed felt cozy with plenty of pillow choices. I also loved the dining options. the restaurant downstairs served great meals, and I enjoyed the convenience of charging to my room. However, I encountered some issues during my stay. The housekeeping didn’t clean my bathroom thoroughly, and I had to ask multiple times for coffee supplies in my room. The waitstaff in the restaurant appeared uninterested, which was disappointing considering the meal prices. The location is fantastic, but I felt the valet parking was on the expensive side. I think the hotel could benefit from more staff training to improve service consistency.
