CROWNE PLAZA CHICAGO - THE METRO

The burgeoning West Loop District is more like Chicago for me versus the Disney-on-Asphalt atmosphere of River North. And the CP is right in the middle of it all, sitting on Halsted near Greektown. It’s especially close to Union Station if you’re training in to town, close enough to walk if you’re up for a few blocks of walking. Like most CP hotels, it’s built for functionality and not necessarily luxury. Which is fine by me—You don’t go to Chicago to hang out in the hotel. The room we had was just fine, with a decent bed and a modern refurbed bathroom. You will probably appreciate being on a higher floor if you can get it to avoid the noise is the city. It’s an easy cab to the loop area if you’re up for that, and there are tons of really great restaurants within walking distance (try Restaurant Row on Randolph just a few blocks away).

We stayed here for a wedding. The hotel currently has construction going on which required us to use valet parking which was fine. I had never been in the West Loop area!!! Lots to do in the area. Our room was very large for a Chicago hotel and even had a balcony. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. There was a charging station on the nightstand which I always appreciate. The bathroom had great lighting. The shower had great water pressure. The staff was courteous. The hallways are showing a little wear, but clean.

Location Location Location... This place is close to everything it seems. Super clean and the staff goes overboard to make sure you are not in need of anything. Great stay and will stay here again when visiting for sure... Keep up the great work.

I went to Chicago for the marathon. The hotel assure you to get what every hotel of this chain could assure. The zone where its located its full of restaurants, and also has a location in front (Mariano's) where you could get some meals to go. The best of this hotel is the service, the people at the front desk its always nice and ready to solve the situations that you could have.

This hotel has it all. Location, friendly and competent staff, updated and stylish rooms and bathrooms, and a great restaurant and bar with views of the bustling streets right outside. The breakfast buffet has everything for eating healthy or indulging yourself, as well as custom omelets. The suites in this hotel are so large with the living area in a separate space, that it is easy to work or socialize with privacy, depending on your needs. It is walk away from upscale grocery stores, popular restaurants, and the French Market. Lake Michigan is a a short Uber or taxi ride. The proximity of the hotel to the interstate makes it easy to locate, and the views from the hotel are amazing. I have stayed here whenever I am in Chicago, and this will continue to be my hotel of choice. C. Louise
