Radius - Chicago Tours and Activities

Given the price point and other reviews, we came here expecting a luxury stay similar to the Waldorf Astoria, Four Seasons, and Peninsula, which are some of our favorite properties to stay at. However, everything from the service and cleanliness to the ambiance of the entrance and lobby and the amenities (other than the gym, which was excellent) is best described as an upgraded version of an average Hilton, Hyatt, or Marriott. For example, there was a hair in the bed. When we reported it, the hotel changed the sheets and asked if we wanted to switch rooms, but no apology or other compensation was offered. The service was fine but incredibly slow, which we experienced with three different requests. Two were for the same bath salts, which are already provided in the room, so it wasn’t a special request. We had to call twice, and they arrived after 45 to 55 minutes. For the third, I went down to the front desk to ask for a printer, and they offered to print the documents and send them to my room. After 45 minutes, I went back down, and it turned out they had completely forgotten about the request, so I had them printed right there. The pool was dirty. On three different occasions over two days, there were toys left in the pool even after the people using them were already gone. The fruit in the gym was also old and had gone bad.
