  This is was or second time in Chicago, and our first time in this hotel but I can tell this is a great hotel, the bedroom was clean and organized, no noise, no smell bad, the hotel is in the downtown close to the most attractions in the city, if you like the lake this hotel is around 8 minutes walking from there, I have just one thing to say about the hotel, is the breakfast, in a great hotel like this they should have some more options for the breakfast! By the rest this is almost perfect! Now I have a favorite hotel in Chicago!

  My parents began their life together during World War II. After serving in the Pacific, my father had just returned home from flying C-47 transport planes in Australia and New Guinea. His missions carried troops and supplies through dangerous conditions, making his return home especially meaningful. To celebrate their marriage, my parents spent their honeymoon at the Knickerbocker Hotel. It was a happy time after years of war and uncertainty. While the world was still recovering from the conflict, they were able to enjoy a few quiet days together and look forward to their future. For my father, the honeymoon marked a transition from wartime service to family life. For both of them, it was the beginning of a lifelong partnership. Their stay at the Knickerbocker remains a special memory, representing love, hope, and a new beginning after the hardships of war.

  I loooooved my stay at the millennium knickerbocker hotel in Chicago! It was probably one of my best hotel stays ever, I felt safe, the staff was super friendly, I rarely had to hold the door to enter or go out of the hotel, they kindly held our luggage for us after checkout to go explore a couple hours more before our flight and my favorite thing of all… they offered free water bottles whenever we wanted. That was game changer for me because I love to stay hydrated and anytime we go on vacation or a trip we always have to end up buying a case of waters or go out and buy $6 water bottles at a local convenience store. The hotel was very clean and very pretty, walking distance of restaurants and local tourist areas. We were less than 10 minute walking distance from the Harry Potter store, Starbucks Reserve, PopMart, Nike, American Girl store & Water Tower place with more shopping areas and a local TCG store, Uniqlo, and all the luxurious brands as well. We felt very safe walking to the hotel at night, and in the morning we went to eat at Wildberry just a few steps away from the hotel, we didn’t quite get to enjoy the restaurant on site at the hotel unfortunately but they did provide us with a 20% off discount which was very kind. Our bed was super spacious and we constantly used the TV, refrigerator and restroom so that was also very great and had no problems. The only 2 things I did not like about the hotel room was 1. There is only one desk chair in the room which usually is not a problem but after a long day of going out or walking and needing to sit down, me and my partner would fight for the chair and which one would go shower first lol not that big of a deal though! And 2. When you get in the shower there is a stream on top and a hand held one, you have to go physically all the way inside the shower to turn the water on but the water is always COLD, you have to wait for it to warm up and face the cold water while you turn the water on which is not a big problem but it was a challenge to face lol The hotel provides Body & Hand Wash, Shampoo, Conditioner and Lotion, we were greeted with two roles of toilet paper, two big towels and 2 of each of the smaller ones. Before our stay and after our stay they provided us through text with a form so that the hotel may prepare for your stay and departure as well as the feature of texting a staff member if you had any questions. I will be back next year for another event and hope to stay at the Millennium Knickerbocker hotel again because of my amazing experience.

  Booked Knickerbocker Chicago for wife’s birthday. They Falsely advertised room booked on Airbnb. Receptionist Claudia blatantly told me I was wrong even after I showed her proof. Called airbnb shortly after discussion and check in. They have record of hotel covering their tracks after complaint (deleting and edited as photos) Hotel refused any kind of liability and Airbnb did what they could to fix the problem. Even tried to find me a new place but area was fully booked. You can hear neighboring rooms through walls and door. Rooms service kept the room tidy so cheer them. Superior King room is very small and not furnished the same way as photos. ‘Famous’ martini bar is a joke. 3 stars at best. Staying away from Millennium Hotels after experience.

  It’s a PERFECT location, quick walk to the river walk trail and beaches and just as quick to downtown and all the shops. Beds were very comfortable! You don’t have to drive into the city really to get there which is nice it’s very stress free ! Bed sheet had blood stains on it when we went to get in the bed and the wash clothes had makeup stains on them.. I wouldn’t say they are too clean in that regards, shower had old shampoo/conditioner chunks of the wall from previous guest. Hallways are VERY Dingy and dark. When I called the front desk about the bed sheets and asked to have them changed they did so no problem so that was nice. House keeping staff was very nice as well. There was one woman working the front desk twice during our stay, once at check in and again the next morning - she was VERY rude to everyone it was pretty crazy.. we were standing in line to check in hoping to god we didn’t get her. Everyone else was very friendly though! Breakfast was delicious (pretty over priced though) the restaurant staff were SO friendly! It was my fiancés 30th birthday I did ask if there was anything special they offer and they never did anything or responded in that regard. I work at a hotel myself personally and know it’s a very easy and nice thing to do to offer guests small favors for special occasions. Would’ve been a nice touch. But overall the location was well worth it - we will be back!!!
