  Amazing hotel with lots of amenities. Great location one block from Millennium station. The mini bar had some great variety including some of their specialty cocktails. If I wasn't there for work I might have tried them all :)

  Stayed here for a work trip. Beautiful, modern boutique feel. Very friendly and helpful staff. They were great in booking me a cab for a very early ride to the airport. It’s in a great location - walkable to many restaurants and the park. The rooms are a nice size, well appointed bathrooms and lots of nice lighting - under the bed lights are motion activated which is great if you get up in the middle of the night. Overall a nice experience. I’d definitely stay here again.

  It was a mixed bag. The rooms are very nice but quite small. The shower was very nice. For the price of the room, I was a bit disappointed. The room was also clean. The Mini fridge was filled with overpriced items to the point you can’t really use it. The hotel gives you two free cans of water but you cannot buy water in the hotel. I felt like there was a lot of nickel and dime charges too. $50 fee for early check in, ok fine, but to charge another $25 in tip of an early check in fee for “urban charge” is crazy. Additionally, maybe this is not an issue on higher floors, but the noise from the road was really bad. You can hear cars or motorcycles drag racing down the street at night. So much so that I barely got any sleep the one night so stayed here. Service was excellent and the restaurant downstairs was also really good. The location is fantastic though and there is a lot around the area to see and do. At the price point, and given the noise issues, I’d probably opt for a different property next time.

  I stayed at Arlo Chicago about a month ago and what a wonderful time it was! A group of friends and I had a girls weekend there. The staff was phenomenal! From Antoine who was extremely helpful with locking our bags away after checking out, since we still had time in the city to explore before our train left. He also was a personal tour guide in a way, as he walked us outside to show us which direction to walk to find the closest Ross. He went above and beyond when he walked us to the taxi pickup area and ensure that we all had a taxi to make it to the train station. The other staff on duty that day was Bryson and Ali. All amazing people. Arlo Chicago is lucky to have such amazing and dedicated staff working for them. The location was the absolute best! Right in the middle of everything. It made exploring the city so easy and stress free. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to be in the middle of all that the city of Chicago has to offer.

  This place has a great location right on Michigan Ave. There is no first floor bathroom that any random person can use which is good for security purposes. You have to use your room key to get to the second floor for a bathroom or you would just go to your room. The elevators require a room key to take you up. It is a little finicky but I think most people could get the hang of it after a couple times. The way to get it to work is to hold your room card to the sensor then press your floor nearly immediately afterwards. Antoine and Bryce were very helpful, and Antoine’s smile brightened my day and made holding my luggage a joy. They provided an option to text instead of calling the front desk or stopping by the front desk. The response isn’t always speedy but it’s a nice option for people that would rather text for communication. The Arlo Chicago worked well for my needs and was available for a great price using booking.com, and I didn’t have any issues paying through a third party. There a restaurant onsite that I didn’t try but that could be convenient if you didn’t want to leave the property. I was pleased with my stay and although the room cleanliness was not 100% pristine, it was good enough. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Chicago and are interested in the Millennium Park, Grant Park, and Buckingham Fountain area. Public transit is also handy to get anywhere else as well.
