This is a good hotel, great service from hotel desk in general. Friendly service at the hotel restaurant and bar. The room cleaning was very good and thorough. Location was fine and pretty close to most sightseeing sites. The room nice, and installations high quality. The bellboys were really friendly and showed high customer care - excellent service! All in all a nice hotel in Chicago!

Great hotel. I enjoyed dinner at the hotel restaurant. The room was comfortable. I loved having coffee in the room in the morning. I came for the AIDS walk and the hotel’s location was perfect.

Very good experience at this hotel. Excellent location, attentive and friendly staff, room was clean. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Only complaint was the bathroom - very little counter space (or anywhere to store toiletries) and the sliding barn door did little for privacy. Otherwise, very happy with our stay and would stay here again.

Very clean and comfortable room. Elevators are a little slow and on the small side. I was given a $16 coupon for a meal in the restaurant that opens from the hotel’s lobby. It was raining hard the second day of my stay and the front desk was happy to lend me one of their umbrellas. Also, as I had food poisoning the night before departure, I asked if my checkout time could be moved later. They gave me an extra hour. Only thing that could have been better is if the shower head wouldn’t start leaking water what seemed like once an hour while I was trying to sleep.

The hotel is well-maintained and provides tremendous service before check-in with luggage service and an early check-in not to mention complimentary water provided always. The room was clean and came with a fridge to keep drinks cool. The closet had a decent amount of space for a weekend trip. The bathroom was clean and equipped with M&G products. The fitness center is clean and has amenities such as water and lavender-infused cooled towels. The only complaint was the noise from Michigan Ave, mainly at night, making it difficult to remain asleep.

I found that while the staff were polite and friendly, they did little to accommodate requests that are very commonly granted at other hotels of this class. The rooms are also very compact.

Loved the hotel. Location perfect for our visit to Chicago. Most of the staff was fabulous. One doorman told us we could not order and Uber to pick us up at the hotel which was wrong! Would definitely come back.

**Meridian Essex Review** My stay at the Meridian Essex was mostly positive. The staff were professional and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and pleasant. The room quality was impressive—clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, providing a great environment for relaxation. However, the dining and bar options could use improvement. The menu was limited, and the quality of food and drinks didn't quite match the high standards set by the rest of the hotel. Additionally, the bar closes too early and the staff seemed eager for guests to leave, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, while the Meridian Essex excels in staff service and room quality, there's room for growth in their dining and bar offerings.

During my recent stay at Le Méridien Essex, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by Nikali and Saira, two outstanding front desk employees. Their warm smiles and genuine friendliness immediately made me feel welcome upon arrival. Both ladies consistently demonstrated genuine warmth and friendliness, making me feel welcome and at ease throughout my stay. Their courteous nature and eagerness to assist were evident in every interaction, from check-in to check-out; Nikali and Saira went above and beyond to ensure my experience was nothing short of exceptional.

Staff was excellent and friendly. The restaurant on the other hand was rude and unfriendly. After being seated had to ask for a waiter after fifteen minutes. When we walked out three staff weee standing and talking. Asked if we were leaving I replied we cannot wait the long. No explaination or apology only laughed.

James assisted us with our bags. He has outstanding customer service. I would definitely come again.

Friendly staff, very clean, easy access to restaurants and events. Only complaint is the room we had was a full tub so no closing door for the shower. Water sprayed out all over the floor. Needed extra towels to clean it ourselves.

We stayed here because it was so close to Soldier Field where we were seeing a concert. It's also in easy walking distance to many museums, restaurants and shopping. We had great service from all of the staff and the room was comfortable. Our only complaint was that we paid a little extra for a "city view" but our room was on the 3rd floor and all we could see was the hotel across 8th street.

Was shocked how late housekeeping would come everyday. They would come around 4:30-5pm to clean my room. Grant Park Bistro service was extremely slow. I would have to wave down bartender to get service, even when I had an empty glass - while sitting at bar. The whole experience, made me feel less than & an unimportant guest that was last in line of service 😔

Excellent location and facilities. The manager Jesus was very polite and helped me when my glasses were broken and me being out of town had no spare pair. The bar staff, including Miguel, were very attentive. The in-house restaurant had great food and reasonable prices. The rooms have been updated with a beautiful bathroom and provided shampoo, etc. I highly recommend.

Nice hotel, very comfortable. Love the location. Unfotunatley, Down town Chicago is a very noisy city, must be a high crime area, lots of policy cars siren going off at night, hard to sleep peacefully.

Check in was quick but we were not given the room we booked and hotel was at capacity so we could not be moved. Disappointed in that sense, but the hotel is great otherwise.
