    We had requested for a 2pm checking but they gave us the room at 4pm and the normal checkin time is 3pm. Also the next day they did nit clean the room and we had requested that the beds and bathroom needs to be cleaned. They cleaned the room but left. Soaking wet towel on the bed. Little disappointed with our stay.

    All of the staff we encountered from the front desk to the doormen to housekeeping were great! Polite, friendly and helpful! The city view from our room (2106) was fabulous and the location of the hotel in Chicago’s Gold Coast was great! Our room (2106) was a little shabby. The sofa was worn and the stitching on the seat cushions was coming apart. The chair provided as a desk chair was too low for the desk and seemed to be an occasional chair vs. a desk chair. There was a floor lamp that was not stable, the bed lamp next to the side of the bed closest to the windows was useless as a reading lamp, and the comforter cover was torn. Like I said, the room was a little shabby. It didn’t feel like an intentional collection of pieces.

    We stay at Thompson 2-3 times a year. It’s been our spot since 2022. Beautiful spot, great location and the hospitality is top tier. We did love the old restaurant, but have grown to like the new one. A lot of new updates there but still top tier staff and amenities. Bar is upscale and on a beautiful night the glass doors are open for inside/out feel that’s let you take in the Gold Coast.

    My family has enjoyed this hotel for years and I recently stayed here on a staycation for one night. After checkout I realized I had left a few rings in the room, and upon asking the hotel to check for them I was met with help and then hostility. The cleaning staff stole my jewelry, one piece being an irreplaceable family heirloom, and the staff told me I was wrong and were extremely unhelpful. I would stay elsewhere if you want to keep your belongings as they employ and defend their on their staff.

    Room was ok but headboard tattered and worn and hvac and plumbing in need of repair. Heat was turned off upon my arrival so room took a while to warm up and heater is very loud. Goes on and off all night. Probably due to the odd layout of the room. On the 6th floor which isn’t a great floor as view is directly of hvac systems right outside od window. Plumbing in sink needs adjustment. Very cold water unless cold is entirely off. Service was nice. Complimentary coffee in lobby would be preferred to espresso machine but espresso was decent. I normally stay at the Viceroy but thought to try this. It was ok but hvac kept me up most of the night. Not ready to rule out Thompson brand yet but first impression wasn’t great. I did like the hardwood floors.

    Two things from my last stay: There is no usable refrigerator in the room so when I asked for a large bucket of ice for champagne, a wonderful front desk person, Lily so sweetly offered to check inventory and see if an extra could be brought to the room. She kept calling until one was delivered. I so appreciated her warmth and effort on my behalf. Also, I arrived about an hour before check in and was immediately checked into a room--so appreciated after a very long travel day Just a thought for the Thompson: It would be so helpful to have a doorman to help with bags getting into the hotel and perhaps to the room. The front doors are heavy and alot to manage The room was either cold or too hot. It is a large space I. understand, but I had to heat it to 80 to get it warm enough to be in and then keep playing with it to keep it warm but not hot. The beautiful large bathroom never gets warm (maybe there are no vents in there?) so morning showers are chilly. thank you for a lovely stay

    Really loved this boutique hotel with a great location and excellent restaurant-bar attached. Rooms are large and well appointed. Only complaint is that they have refrigerators fully stocked but the temperature inside is warm. When I called down they said they cannot make it colder due to restrictions. Super bummer. And, if you want ice, you have to go to front desk.

    The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and stylish but looked a little disheveled, crooked pictures on the walls, damaged lamp shade by the bed, mirror in bathroom showing significant water damage on its frame. I would have appreciated an area rug to soften and quiet things in the room. The gym was very good. The staff at Tavern on Rush were efficient and helpful although I am sorry Nico is no longer operating.

    Comfortable beds as well. Rooms were a bit tired (my room had broken tiles and a torn drape). The biggest issue for me was I’m a working/traveling mom and I need to pump while away. I always ask to put my ice packs in the hotel’s freezer so that I can transport my milk home without spoiling, but this hotel does not have a freezer. I was stunned. I travel for work often and have never come across a hotel without a freezer. Someone at the front desk told me the restaurant had one, but that they DEFINITELY wouldn’t let me store anything in their freezer. Out of desperation, I decided to ask them myself on my last night and explain the situation (it was only ice packs and they were in ziploc bags). I was initially told it was a liability thing and it couldn’t be done. I reiterated there was no breastmilk and they went to ask a manager who ended up allowing it, which was a huge relief. So my biggest piece of feedback for the hotel is, on behalf of all breastfeeding working/traveling moms, please get a freezer. And more microwaves. I couldn’t sterilize my pump parts because there was no microwave available so I just had to wash them and hope for the best.

    I am normally a Marriott guy, but I did something different this time on my recent trip to Chicago. I have been to some of the Thompson Hotel restaurants mainly in Austin, Texas, but I have never stayed in the Thompson. The Thompson Hotel in Chicago and the Gold Coast… I loved. From the dark and moody lobby to the great Customer Service to the beautiful room… Spacious great furnishings super amazing bed and don’t get me started on the bathroom. The walk-in shower with the rain head and amazing pressure and great body products. The only issue I had was at one point the toilet was acting a little funky and overflowed, but they came and fixed it and it was fine. This hotel used to be something different years ago, so I understand that the building is old. You would never be able to tell from the lobby and from the rooms. Little touches like push button light switches that were back lit at night to the corner couch with huge mirror grateful for getting ready and having extra space in the room. I am definitely a fan now.

    The area around the hotel was fantastic to walk. It was also pretty close to a primary bus line that we could take to soldier field for a concert, as well as Montrose Beach the following day. This makes getting around Chicago so much nicer than driving it!

    Really good stay at the Thompson. Fantastic location in the Gold Coast area right on the triangle with Gibsons, Tavern on Rush, Bellevue & Luxbar all on the doorstep. Room was great, really comfortable bed, superb shower and toiletries and an amazing view from floor 19. Common areas were really nice - there seemed to be a slight issue with the drains on occasion (!) but that did not affect the rooms at all, just the entrance area. Staff really helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again

    Our stay was extremely disappointing. The room we booked looked nothing like the photos, and when we raised the issue, we were told that the room type we reserved wasn’t even available. We had to stay two nights in a lower-category room before being moved. On top of that, the AC in our room didn’t work, forcing us to sleep in 80°F heat with kids who barely got any rest. The safe in the room was also broken. When we asked for help, we were told the manager wasn’t available late at night, and the only “compensation” offered was a $50 bar credit—completely inadequate for the inconvenience we endured. Overall, a terrible experience and very poor service.

    This hotel was the perfect blend of chic design and warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the stylish aesthetic and thoughtful details made it feel special. The staff provided us with macaroons as a sweet welcome touch, which set the tone for the rest of our stay. The rooms were spotless, beautifully organized, and had a calming, modern feel. The bathrooms were surprisingly spacious truly a luxury you don’t always get in city hotels. Between the clean, comfortable rooms and the impeccable service, this property is a gem for anyone looking for both charm and comfort.

    Had maintenance in our room everyday we stayed because the air conditioning wasn’t working properly. It was 79 degrees in the room. That is unacceptable! Also I paid for two lake view rooms that were adjoining or next to one another on Hotels.com website. When we arrived we found out there is only one lake view room per floor. Needless to say we didn’t want family to be on two different floors. That too is unacceptable! Hotels .com should explain that on website. And lastly the valet parking on the hotel was stated at $75.00 according to Hotels. com. However at the hotel the rate had went up to $80.00 and we had to pay that price. Very disappointed in the Thompson Hotel and the information Hotels.com gave on their website about the Thompson Hotel. I tried for three days to call Hotels.com to speak with them about the issues but NEVER got connected to an agent! Rather after a while the phone line hung up! I’ve used Hotels.com for many, many years and have never had this experience! Very disappointed and may not ever use you again! Thank you!

    Our stay was good and I have nothing bad to say about the room, the hotel, or the staff. But during our stay there were some folks outside protesting the hotel. We stopped to speak with them and they said that under new ownership (our thought is Hedge Fund people) the staff are not paid well, treated badly, and not letting them unionize. That is all I needed to know that I will never be back.

The bathroom was very roomy with a separate tub and shower, and the cozy robes were a nice touch. There was also a stocked mini bar with a large variety of snacks and drinks. The entire hotel was very clean with great views of the city. Although there was a restaurant attached, we did not eat there so I cannot comment on the food, however, it was always full of people so I would say it’s probably pretty good. I would definitely stay again.
