The location of the Avenue hotel was just great, close to everything. If you are particularly an eager tourist who wants to see most of Chicago's landmarks in relatively a short time, then the Avenue hotel might be a perfect deal for you.
Also, I liked that there was a free business center equipped with a printer, scanner and computers. I could also use fax machines by asking the front desk even in the middle of the night.

Our family of 4 recently stayed at the Avenue Hotel in Chicago. The location can't be beat - 1/2 block from the Magnificent Mile. We were attracted to this hotel because of the great price (142/night after including chicago's exorbitant hotel tax). We were given a one bedroom corner suite on the 28th floor (with views of michican aveneue) even though we expected an ordinary double room. Didn't have to ask for an upgrade, it just happened. Worked out great for my wife and I - very comfortable bed in a spacious bedroom with a corner view (and a little closet). The accommodations for our two kids was a pull out leather couch in the living room (and like all pull out couches in my experience was not a very good bed). All in all, we'd stay there again.

A good value, room was clean. Fitness center nice. Parking was a bit on the steep side ($48/day), which I guess makes the relatively inexpensive room rate about even. Location is great, plenty within walking distance.

I would highly recommend this hotel. The room was beautiful, great views. The staff was friendly and the rooftop pool was refreshing. It was an excellent value for the money and the location was unbeatable. We were in walking distance of Oak Street Beach, John Hancock Tower, Magnificent Mile, The Water Tower.....the best location. Chicago is a beautiful city with incredibly friendly people.

The hotel was perfect. Some review had commented on small rooms, but I found the 1-bedroom suite to be more than I expected. It was buy three nights, get one free, which worked out to about $90 a night - an amazing deal all around. Sadly, I was in on business and never made it to the rooftop pool, but the hotel was perfect all around and the staff were very hospitable.

This place was perfect. I assume we were upgraded from our $149 a night room because we got a room that was basically two separate rooms, one with a couch, 2 chairs, minifridge, desk and flatscreen tv, and a second room with a king bed and television. The room was on the corner of the building and had views to the lake and down towards the loop. Could not have been happier with the avenue hotel, the skybar and rooftop pool were just icing on the cake

We upgraded to a suite when we arrived. At first when the booking clerk asked her boss, we were told the updgrade would be an extra $80/night. Instead they came down to $30 per night extra after we said we couldn't afford that first price. Since our daughter was w/us too, the extra space was well worth it. Got a corner suite w/windows on 2 walls, + the 30th floor. We loved it.

Beautiful Decor, and staff was great. The room was very large. We had a bedroom and a separate living space that had a pull out bed on the couch but the couch was so comfortable we didn't need to open it. 2 TV's and a mini bar. Note, we took the drinks out of the minibar to put the drinks we brought in and they charged us b/c the minibar is sensored and recognized the change. No problem though, as soon as we explained, they took the charge off. The pool on the roof was great and the sky lounge for breakfast is highly recommended. Very comfortable, great view, freshest fruit. The location is amazing can't get better for the price we paid. Actually there had to be a mistake the price was too low for all we got. We already made plans for our return.

4 star, clean, new, great staff, fast check in/out. Stayed here for two nights in July. Location was practically on the magnificent mile, so couldn't be better. Fast and Free Wi Fi! Plus free printing at office center in hotel. Several El stops near by so we didn't rent a car and had no problem getting everywhere we wanted to go. Got a fantastic deal on Skoosh!
