Good location for conventions at McCormick place and similar. Easy access to bus/trains/walking. Great park across the street. Con - Pillows should all be replaced...zero structure. Cosmetically, could be better but suitable if you need convenient lodging.

I enjoyed my stay overall. Nice, budget hotel with clean, comfortable, rooms. My only complaint is that the hotel is very noisy and the rooms aren’t soundproof at all as I was able to hear conversations in the next room. I would most likely stay again for the convenience of the location, great price, and welcoming staff.

Thank you for reviewing the Best Western Grant Park hotel. I understand how frustrating parking can be, that's why we offer valet parking with 24/7 access to your vehicle. We also have some nearby options, the closest being a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast is offered at our brand new restaurant, Mei's, and our guests receive a 10 off coupon upon arrival. I will be passing these comments along to the team so that we may continue to uphold the Best Western standards to all of our guests. I welcome the opportunity to make this stay up to you, we hope to host you again soon!

The room smelled like a sewer because the toilet was broken. When requested, maintenance did replace the broken bolt that held the toilet to the floor, but not the wax seal. There were multiple other maintenance issues as well. Additionally, supplies like coffee and clean towels were not replaced. And the walls were so thin, we could hear what the neighbors were discussing.

I’ll start with the bad.->The pool was a no go!!! The bad/good is the building is old but that’s actually not a problem is kept up very well. The rest is good. The dining options is actually the “Paris Baguette” that’s connected to hotel. Very good French style restaurant/bakery. I called ahead and needed early check in, when I arrived they accommodated me on that I have kids and needed a place for my bad and to settle them in since I arrived around 11AM. Location for me was great because Grant Park is across the street, Shedd aquarium, MSI, and everything else is within 5-10min. Also building is connected to the breakfast/brunch restaurant Yolk!!! Location, clean, service, and staff were 5 star. The only bummer was the pool only because that’s only thing kids want. But everything else was great. It happened to snow but if I came during warmer weather we would’ve walked around more. Great experience!!!

Once again I stay in one of their Best Westerns and it doesn’t look like what they have online. It’s outdated and what done it for me was. EVERYBODY that goes into a run SHARES the same toiletries. Very unsanitary you don’t know if people washed their hands before using them. The body wash, shampoo and conditioner sit it pump bottles over the tub. All they do is refill if empty if not they leave the unused portion in the container. You don’t know if someone put anything in them or not. The lotion is attached to the wall also over the sink. They give you one tiny bar of soap. Don’t be fooled thinking because it’s Downtown Chicago the rooms are going to be up to date. Big disappointment the room and furniture looks out dated.

10/10 would stay again if we were in Chicago. We stayed for 6 days and loved it. We got the 2 beds and had a really nice view from our room. All the staff were very kind and helpful. It is noisy because of where it is located as we can hear the traffic on Michigan and the Metra honking as it passed and whilst we personally were not negatively affected by this it’s something to consider if you are very sensitive to noise.

The rooms were simple but modern. The beds are extremely comfortable. The shower was hot with excellent water pressure. The cafe was great for breakfast and coffee and the restaurant was great for dinner. The only real problem was that there is only basic cable with a ton of commercials and no option to purchase movies. This Best Western provided an affordable and quality stay and it was central to every thing!

Room seemed very dirty and outdated. There were stains on the walls. The shower barely worked from being old and clogged. Not the best hotel

Thank you for reviewing the Best Western Grant Park hotel. I am sorry to hear about your experience while staying with us. I will make sure to review this with my staff, we run 24/7 so if anything was reported to us directly I want to ensure we did everything possible to rectify the issues. We are so excited about our renovations that will take place this year, along with our bakery and restaurant Mei's that just opened up! We hope to host you again in the future and make this stay up to you.

Great for our visit. We weren’t in the room much, but it was exactly what we needed. Slight view of the park. Was a repetitive alarm sound, I assume some kind of garage opening, and alerting people. I was able to mostly ignore it. Took a few minutes for the hot water to heat up, but was fine once it did. Staff was helpful and offered late night dining options. I would definitely stay again. Love being near the park and a 5 minute line from the train.
