Reviews
The hotel staff is consistently praised for their kindness and helpfulness. The location is convenient for many guests, particularly those visiting nearby medical facilities or attending events at the United Center. However, some guests express dissatisfaction with the valet-only parking and its associated costs. There are also a few complaints about cleanliness and maintenance issues.

The bartender, Ruby, is thoughtful. She encouraged us to enjoy the beautiful weather outside and took us out to the patio and brought drinks to us and continued checking on us. We didn’t even know there was a patio. The beds are always comfortable and nice shower.

A C did not function properly, price was double March 26 stay. If you have time check other Courtyards prices, they are not double. Compensate the employees.

The Staff!! I can’t say enough great things about the staff at this Courtyard. They were all amazing, customer-focused, and extremely professional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness and immediate assistance from the Valet. The check-in process - she was so sweet and offered us perfect recommendations. Elana! LOVED her. She really goes above and beyond. Overall, we loved our stay. Three ladies traveling to Chicago for the weekend - we felt safe in this hotel and the surrounding community.

The on site restaurant and bar was beautiful and friendly and really elevated our short stay. Check in and the on site Starbucks machine was nice too. The $10 bottle of water. Seems unnecessary.

The location was decent. We wish we were a little bit closer to downtown. It is right across from a hospital. You can save money on parking by not using their valet and parking in the hospital parking structure. There was one big detractor here. They pumped a scent into their lobby that was very strong and really set off my allergies. It took at least an hour of being out of the lobby for my headache and allergies to calm down. They need to turn down the strength of the scent and better yet, change it to be something that doesn’t set off allergies - a clean fresh scent or lemon, etc.

Clean room, comfy beds, but $40 for "valet" parking and even though they talk aboujt breakfast at check-in, fail to mention it isn't complimentary/continental, but for purchase from the lobby "bistro. IMO, too expensive for not getting any of that.

I would have given the hotel a 10, but the next morning I woke up to 2 fraudulent charges on my credit card from the hotel! One for $120 at 2:21am and a $60 one at 3:15 am. When checking out, I asked as to why someone tried to charge my card twice overnight and the receptionist just said she doesnt know. Thankfully the charges didnt go through!! But we wont be staying here again :(

The prices for food and drinks at bar are expensive. It’s opened for breakfast and drinks, dinner and snacks at night. The bartender who takes orders, waitresses and bartends is very sweet and friendly young lady. The staff at front desk and both of the valets are Rock Stars! Friendly, helpful, kind, and respectful. They demonstrate excellent customer service which lacks often in society today. There are restaurants within walking distance if your mobility is good. You are able to find transportation if it’s an issue Luke it is for me currently. When we visit Rush, this will be our “go to” hotel.

Pillow top mattresses were too soft and not comfortable. Toilet flushing worked in slow motion. Shower door base really needed a good scrubbing as mold was very visible. Heat vent on wall needed to be cleaned. These are things people notice in hotel rooms.

The room was clean but I found a dirty rag in the corner of the bathtub. Also they MAKE you pay for valet parking which is a $40 a day hidden cost instead of parking on the property. Not only that but they made me give them my car keys which I didn’t want to do. Other than that, no other issues.

No parking, like ain’t no one want to park in the hospital at night and walk the longish walk to the hotel it’s dark where that parking lot is located and also that fact that you have to pay for parking in the lot of the hotel is ridiculous.. like we’re already paying for the night and to an extra for parking.. no sir never going back to that hotel.

Overall, I would rate this hotel a 3 out of 5 due to the limited accommodations offered. One downside was the valet-only parking option, which cost $40 per night—a bit steep in my opinion. The alternative was a parking ramp a block away, which isn't ideal when you're hauling luggage and personal items through a busy, congested area. Another disappointment was the lack of complimentary coffee, which I believe should be standard at any hotel. Despite these drawbacks, our stay was decent overall, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Very clean lobby, easy check in, most of the staff were friendly, rooms were clean and beds were so comfy!! Only thing i truly missed was there was no body/hand lotion. They had everything else in the room, but, no lotion. And winter in Chicago requires it! It sits in the heart of the meddical district, so walking to any of the buildings is totally doable!

This hotel was exceptional. From the staff to the extra clean rooms. A big plus was the shuttle to the United Center. They even stayed late to pick us up. The valet employees were great. All in all I highly recommend.

The room was clean, the self-serve coffee in-room was good, it was quiet, and the staff was friendly. Bed was not comfortable and the pillows were horrid—airy, puffy blobs that immediately deflated, not my preference. It had a decent location for our needs, and the price was right. Once I borrowed a better pillow from a friend in the area, I could sleep. Had I depended on the hotel pillows, I wouldn’t have slept at all probably. Overall, I would stay there again; I’d just bring my own pillow.

I went to the other hotel and was told that 1 night was taken care by Courtyard but NOT 2 nights that I had already paid for. AGAIN TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I spoke with Alex at Expedia even though I have not used Expedia in YEARS and only Travelocity and never have had an issue with Travelocity. Alex wanted to move me to a TOTALLY DIFF hotel and not credit me for already paying in advance so I would have had to pay for another hotel room. The hotel I was sent to was AWESOME and the staff and Management were great at Hyatt Place/Hyatt House. The staff/Management that I spoke with at Courtyard were TERRIBLE. I believe I paid $575 up front for my hotel room for 2 nights and Alex credited my credit card for $278 and I ended up paying $400 at Hyatt Place/Hyatt House. THIS is the HOTEL that I was sent to and I am not sure why I should have had to pay anything. Thank you Kevin Darby I have booked some other hotels thru Travelocity already for this summer and paid for them and IF THEY ARE IN ANY WAY tied to EXPEDIA i will cancel and do something different. If I book on line with Travelocity I EXPECT that I am only dealing with Travelocity.

Super clean hotel from the lobby to the rooms. Beds were really comfortable with plenty of pillows provided. Staff was friendly. Check-out is 12:00 which is later than most hotels. Only complaint is parking was valet only, so to get anything from your car, you had to get the key from valet or security.

Check in was listed on their website as 3pm. We had arrived 2 hours later from out of town. Valet was friendly, no one was there at the front desk so valet had to grab Kevin from the office. Kevin was clearly sick and should’ve had the day off or had a mask. There was some miscommunication about how many rooms but he was very polite. I just felt bad that he was working while he wasn’t feeling well. It seemed as though our rooms were still not ready so he tried to get into contact with Jackie but she was no where to be found. He let us know it would be just a minute and wait in the lobby. Other guests checking in checked in just fine and got their rooms. Once Jackie came down she had her headphones in and didn’t seem to be in any rush to get any rooms prepared. Kevin gave us vouchers for the breakfast in the morning, but since we were simply there for a concert late at night we wouldn’t be using them so early the next day, but we appreciated his hospitality. That night when we arrived back from the concert there was no valet and we didn’t feel secure leaving it out front off a main road in downtown Chicago. The young women at the front desk with blond hair stated that she had sent him (valet) to do an errand for her so to just lock it up and they would park it once they arrived. Check out went smooth.

We stayed here for a show at the Cobra Lounge down the street and it was great! I love that the hotel offers a shuttle for travel within a mile so finding street parking on a busy weekend wasn’t something we had to be concerned with. When a place was out of the shuttle radius, it was just a short walk to the Pink Line station. Very good location, super kind front desk staff—I would absolutely consider this location again for future travel.
