"Beautiful view of the Chicago river."

"Beautiful River View"
We had a fabulous time and the hotel staff, especially the concierge, were absolutely wonderful. The ONLY negative critique would be the hall doors. Because they are wood and have a bit of a gap at the bottom, they do not muffle the hallway noise very well. The river view room on the 34th floor was second to none especially with all of the holiday lights! […] I would not hesitate to stay again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Incredible view; incredible price"
We had to transfer during our stay from the Intercontinental to this Hotel -- I will always make an effort to stay here if I'm stuck on the magnificent mile again - the views are amazing. Very simple, very lovely hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fabulous"
From the front desk to the surrounding restaurants (including the in-house restaurant) we had a wonderful honeymoon stay at Hotel 71. We will most definitely be going back and will stay at Hotel 71 again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel - Great Price!"
We had a great stay at Hotel 71. Our flight landed at MDW about 800am - amazingly the staff was able to accomodate our early arrival. We were in our room by 930am! We stayed on the 16th floor with a city view room. No real complaints about the room except.. we set the thermostat on 65 (I am pregnant and can't have it cold enough!) However, the room […] never got below probably 70. The only other complaint is that the walls must be thin - we didn't hear anyone next door (because we were between the ice machine and stairs.. both of which we heard) but we heard everything that was going on in the halls at all hours. The bed was SO comfortable and the staff was very accomodating. Maid services did a beautiful job cleaning the room and the front desk staff was always friendly. They recommended a delicious restaurant for our anniversary dinner. Overall, a great stay - I would recommend it and stay there again! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay at Hotel 71"
We picked Hotel 71 based on the location, price & many positive reviews of the hotel -- we could not have been happier. We ended up with a corner room that had both city and river views on the 36th floor and they were spectacular. The front desk and the concierge were immensely helpful, at one point they helped us order late night pizza after missing […] dinner and being caught in a rainstorm and then the next night ran a microwave up to our room so we could reheat the leftovers. My only two complaints are that the building is relatively old so there are only a few elevators to service quite a few floors and the shampoo and conditioner they provide in the rooms is below the quality level of the rest of the hotel, so bring your own (my wife insisted I mention the second item). All in all, if that is all I can find to complain after a 5 day visit, then it's a good indication this is a solid hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great Location"
The location of the hotel was great for our needs: right across from the riverwalk, around the corner from Michigan Ave., and close to all the destinations we needed. The room itself was clean and newer feeling, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly and did a good job of remembering guests and getting problems resolved.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Most amazing river view in Chicago!"
Happened upon this hotel on the Internet. Loved the view it showed looking down the river. Be sure to specify you want a river view room! We were on the 34th floor and it was just like the view on the website. Convenient to the L train, the hop on/ off bus tour and the boat tours! Friendly and helpful front desk and house keeping! Loved it and will […] stay there everytime we are in Chicago. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great StaY!"
Loved it!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
great location but the hotel is definitely a bit worn/dated. Housekeeping was not up to standards at this hotel -- all toiletries were not replenished and we had to call the front desk to complain that the bathtub and sink were not cleaned. Also, we had to call twice to get the coffee maker replaced and to have a repair done to the toilet. Drinks in […] the hotel bar are great and the location can't be beat. We also enjoyed the spacious and well equipped gym. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel 71 - convenience and great views!"
We spent a great weekend in November at Hotel 71 in Chicago. We spent a bit extra for the river view room, an expense that was completely worth it. The views were gorgeous from the 28th floor. The hotel is right next to the Chicago River, close to sites along the Magnificent Mile. We easily walked to Millenium Park, The John Hancock Observatory, the […] Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Symphony, and the Chicago Architecture River Cruise. There are many great restaurant choices nearby as well. The help at the front desk was outstanding, friendly, and informative. A great choice for a weekend getaway!

"Hotel 71 - CLOSE TO EVERYTHING Downtown Chicago!!!"
My girlfriend and I stayed at Hotel 71 for 3 nights. We arrived really early on a Friday morning (10 am) & room was ready so that was a plus. Our room was on the 30th floor overlooking the river. GREAT VIEWS FROM ROOM. The room was spacious. One thing that I did NOT like was the fact there was no safe in the room. I didnt like that at all. I had nice […] watches that I had to leave in my bags and I'm always sketchy about doing that. The positive spin to that is that the staff was good and nothing happened. The bathroom was a little old school for a "remodeled hotel" but overall, we had a great stay. The hotel is located very central to everything. & Most importantly, priced right. =) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Not sound proof!"
The rooms were nice but not very sound proof. You could easily hear people walking down the hall and as I was walking down the hall I could hear others conversations in normal voices. Also the vents in the showers allowed you to hear very clearly other people bellow you or above you that were also in the shower!f Nice rooms but didn't feel all that […] private.

"Ideally located for seeing Chicago."
Excellent service and swanky decoration. Hotel 71 is located conveniently between the best dining and the best sightseeing in Chicago.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Value"
This hotel is typically around $100 cheaper than many other hotels on or near Michigan Avenue. Of course those other hotels can have a little nicer quality, but if you're looking for a less expensive hotel without sacrificing great location, I would recommend this hotel. Pros: Excellent location, nice decor, clean Cons: Thin walls (although we were […] adjacent to the elevator which might have contributed to noise) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great Hotel; Restaurant and Bar need improvement"
Our stay in the hotel was top notch. On three occassions, we ventured to the bar/restaurant for a glass of wine or a bit to eat. Each time we were served by a different person. Each time was a terrible experience. Mostly, it was the attitude, but timliness was not all that great either. Seemed like the employees were bothered and annoyed by the restaurant […] and bar patrons-not expected at a four - five star hotel. Stay at the Hotel and go next door for drinks Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel 71"
This is a great hotel that has a few internal issues. The doors to the rooms slam quite loudly and can be heard in every room on the floor. Also the flushing of the toilet is quite loud as well, so in the middle of the night, it is disturbing to your partner. Other than that it is great. The location is perfect, we had a corner room which had a fantastic […] view and would certainly return to this hotel. We did not partake in any services from the hotel but I am sure they were quite efficient. Front desk was very helpful. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fantastic Stay"
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel 71. The room was very plush, clean and the bathroom very convenient and big. We had a fantastic view of the river. The L stops were conveniently close by as well as great dining and South Loop shopping. It was convenient to get to by car with parking nearby. Had a fantastic stay!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Go for it!"
This is an upscale, quaint hotel in the heart of Chicago right on the water. No need to hesitate. Great room, nicely appointed, and very clean. There was a minor issue with the faucet in the tub, but not a biggie. Loved this place and would stay here again. The resaurant below, "Hoyt" is wonderful too.

I booked this hotel for an overnight to celebrate my fiance's 50th birthday and to celebrate our engagement. I couldn't have been more pleased! We arrived early to see if our room might be ready. They not only had it ready but had upgraded us to a suite at no additional cost! The room and view were spectacular, the bed very comfy and we just loved our […] stay!. This might very well become a new tradition for us. Thanks, Hotel 71! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location and staff"
So I never right reviews but this time I must. The location of this hotel was great! Within walking distance of almost everything. And the hotel staff was excellent! The lady at the front desk made all our dining reservations and told each place it was our anniversary so every restaurant had something special for us. We had a river view and it was totally […] worth the few extra dollars! We are already looking forward to our next trip to Chicago and will definitely stay at Hotel 71 again.

"Hotel 71 - Great Stay in the Loop"
This was my girlfirend and I's second time staying at Hotel 71. Once again we left satisfied. From the valets, to the doormen, to the front desk and cleaning staff, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of many great restaurants as well as the House of Blues. Only had a city view this time […] which is still nice but pales in comparison to the rvier view. The king beds are so soft and comfy and the room had a nice layout. On the top floor of the hotel is a sweet ballroom with 360 degrees worth of spectacular views of the city. The elevators stop going up there late at night but if you don't wait too late, maybe in the after midnight but before 2am time period, it's possible to get up there and enjoy the spectacular night time views with your significant other and not be bothered by other guests. We've been up in the ballroom both of our stays and it's always been one of the highlights of the stay. Overall, Hotel 71 is just a really good hotel. They try to be swanky and upscale a bit but it still has some old school charm to it. I would reccommend Hotel 71 to anybody I know who is looking for a good weekend getaway in Chicago.

"Great Place!"
Had a wonderful experience at Hotel71 this pas weekend. Was expecting a King Size River-view Room but was pleasantly surprised when our room was was upgraded to a Suite with amazing view of the city. Had to call the front desk for a light bulb replacement as well as a fridge and both issues were addressed exceptionally quick. The only downside I'd […] say was the cost of Parking, ~$45 is waaaay too much for a hotel parking, wouldn't you think they'd give their guests some sort of a break? Overall we had a great experience at this hotel! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel!"
Excellent hotel--close to the L and many bus stops. Several nearby restaurants to choose from. We were upgraded to a river view room at no additional charge and had an amazing view. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Chicago!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay"
The view was fabulous, right across from Trump, right on the river. The staff was courteous, kind and helpful. We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and they upgraded us to a beautiful suite. We will return next year for year 2... It was better than our actual wedding night because the view and the room were perfect.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel 71 home away from home"
As always our stay with Hotel 71 was wonderful. The staff always goes out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The rooms are so comfortable. If I could fit the bed and bedding into our luggage I would - because they are so sleep worthy. Hotel 71 is are go to hotel when we visit Chicago - it's like a home away from home.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
