Hotel Burnham Chicago Hotel - Page 1

I love this Hotel -- and will certainly be back! I didn't know what to expect, after reading the other reviews, I was a bit apprehensive. I even called the hotel to address some of the issues presented in review sites. I decided to take a gamble mainly because I'd never stayed at a Hotel of this brand (meaning I leaned toward those big name hotels, which I will avoid doing in the future! Something to be said and learned from this -- the smaller ones devote more attention to you!) The staff was remarkable -- and even the special treatment and attention to detail in e-mail correspondences about my upcoming stay was welcoming!! Rooms were quaint and beautifully decorated, comfortable and quiet. The noise factor was important because I was traveling with a toddler that brings along his own noise and excitement -- yet it couldn't be heard outside the walls of our room. Ideal location for my purpose and is ideal for anyone looking for the perfect hotel -- located in the Theatre district! Tried booking a room already for the same day next year -- but Kimpton doesn't have their reservations available this early . . . Highly recommend this hotel, for many reasons -- but the best explanation is . . . stay for the experience it offers! A historic hotel, with the charm you'd expect from that Era.

I could never forget (with bitterness) my stay at Hotel Burnham. I came back to get some much needed sleep after a working day in Chicago, and jack hammers started going off outside the hotel at around 10:30 PM. After waiting for an hour I called the front-desk and was told that it was approved construction and will go on ALL NIGHT ! Front-desk suggested I turn on the Channel on TV where there was some white noise. I think it is pathetic - they should have warned me or at least indicated that my room location would get all night jack hammers noise.

The location is ideal, one block or less from the bus and the subway stations. It was small enough to be personal and large enough to have all the amenities. It has a great restaurant, they serve wine in the lobby at five and coffee in the morning. The newspaper is delivered to door every morning. I just loved our stay.

It had fabulous and friendly service, lovely rooms and a great location.

This hotel made me feel sophisticated: They treated us very well, even though we were dressed in jeans from our long drive there.

I picked this place because my preferred hotel, The Park Hyatt, was full. The hotel is described as "A luxury boutique hotel in the Loop". I wouldn't call it that. It was an okay, small hotel that was good in a pinch. However, their service was lacking, the rooms were small and the host/hostess' at the restaurant downstairs were a little snotty. The location was good and the building itself was interesting. I wouldn't rush to go back.
