    Room was nice and clean but TINY. Breakfast was decent and the staff did a great job keeping things clean and stocked. Parking was a nightmare with incorrect billing, having to pay twice and then get reimbursed. TV's didn't work in either room but maintenance was very good about fixing them. So a good basic room but multiple inconveniences.

    I heard the hotel recently underwent renovations, and it definitely showed – the place was very clean. The location was also convenient, making it easy to get around by bus. The room had a small refrigerator (no freezer compartment), and while there was no microwave in the room, I noticed there was one in the breakfast area where other guests were using it. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be in a safe, clean area that is centrally located. I only lowered rating because sirens could be heard during the thunderstorm. I wish the walls were a little thicker as a sound barrier. Otherwise, great stay!

    They do not even provide bottled water. The internet was also down during the days we stayed there, which is honestly a disaster in this day and age. Mobile signal coverage in that area is weak because of the tall buildings around it, so relying on cellular data is not really possible either. Overall, only the most basic amenities are provided.

Aside from that it was great. Within walking distance to the many shops and restaurants on Miracle Mile.

    The Fairfield was a great stay. The room was clean and nice. The breakfast was lovely with a large variety of choices. I especially liked that it was available from 6-10. Good for early birds and later risers. Helpful, friendly service and you could have your luggage held til later in the day. The location was also very good. Only about a block and a half off Michigan Avenue. Thanks for a great stay! A microwave would have been very nice, but not crucial. There was a small fridge.

    I loved how my room was cornered off and I didn’t get any noise disturbances, and the tv had so many streaming options other than old cable so that was great as well! How I was almost charged twice the total price of my stay no matter how many times I tried to explain in a calm matter that I had already pre-payed my stay a week before it was time to actually check in.

    The hotel was nice for what we needed (family of 4). The bathroom didn't have a fan so it was very steamy and quiet. We like to run the fan for white noise while we sleep, so that was a bummer for us. Also, breakfast wasn't great. It's a super small space with limited options. There was one waffle maker and a long line for it. Both morning we grabbed fruit, bagels, and coffee then left. It was super crowded! Last little gripe is that the water fountains were off.

    The rooms are fine, if a bit dated. Lighting could be improved around the bathroom sink and in the main room. The breakfast was as I expected, nothing to be excited about, but at least kept me from being hungry for a little while.

    Great location!!! Very walkable to Magnificent Mile shops, restaurants, Riverwalk, Navy Pier. Hotel is dated, furniture has obvious wear and tear. Chairs with in room and lobby with holes worn thru the fabric. Breakfast left much to be desired. If you're staying here for the free breakfast which was a big factor in me choosing this hotel...skip it. Doormen were very helpful, hospitable, and courteous. Other front desk staff...not so much. For the price paid per night, more updated/better options are available on this same street.

    This is a good hotel in a great location. Valet parking was easy but expensive. The other parking option is completely a joke--self parking with no in and out for the duration of your stay. Breakfast was Fairfield typical: waffles, egg sandwiches, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. The rooms are on the smaller side for a Fairfield, but that was to be expected. Very clean; great service.

    Mid: No much public transportation for when I didn’t want to take car and breakfast. Negative: cold water went out in first night room 404 (front desk was prompt to move us so that was a +) the first night and neighbors in connected room were loud. The 2nd night/room was 1503. OMG…at 10:45 PM there was the loudest speaker noise or talking or something. I had to turn on the AC to drown out the sound. Very odd. It was like something out of a movie used to keep people from sleeping. The valet was expensive $55 for in/out. I would not stay here again but would still recommend.

    Staff were wonderful and made this a great visit. Thomas was gracious and helpful, as was Jasmine and all the staff serving breakfast. Location is great, with easy access to all the cool things downtown Chicago. It is right by a hospital, though. The hotel needs some updates but it’s overall pretty nice! Pillows were too soft for my taste. My biggest complaint was having disposable dishes for breakfast. I liked that they were compostable, alas, there was no compost bucket! You can do better, Marriott!

    It wasn't a very pleasant atmosphere. We were misinformed about parking. We never left with our car and was still charged $55. We couldve parked our own car for $42. Also, in the morning for checkout, our keys to a guy. Noone was in the lobby at first and, then others showed up after. For some reason we got our car 30 mins later after everyone else. The valet guy handed me the keys so rudely. It didnt feel warm and friendly. Celebrating for New Years Eve
