Hotel 71

"Great Views, Nice Hotel"

Hotel 71 was convienent to restaurants and attractions. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only issue I had was when I returned from being away all day, my room was not cleaned. I called the front desk and within 30 minutes maid service arrived with clean towels and my room was spotless.

Can’t wait to go back

What a wonderful hotel. The concierge was so friendly and helpful. The decor and location of the hotel was great!!! And the view......spectacular. If I ever go back to visit, I would definitely stay at Hotel 71 again.

Nice, hip hotel

Convenient hotel for a brief trip to Chicago.

Full satisfaction

Very good hotel,friendly staff,perfect downtown location,very small indoor restaurant,but serving simple and good food,good prices. Altogether,very satisfactory.

This is where you should stay in Chicago.

Fantastic hotel. Exceeded every expectation.

Nice place. Good location.

This was a very nice place to stay. The location was great! The staff was very nice and helpful when we needed extra towels or to borrow something. Also, when we had a glitch with our first room, they happily gave us a different room to stay in. The people greeting us at the door were wonderful too. Very helpful. They even took care of our bags the last day after we checked out of the hotel while we waiting for our evening flight.

Served Its Purpose

I took a trip to Chicago during New Years week and wanted to find a hotel in The Loop. I looked for location, price, and a little more than a two star hotel. Hotel 71 fit the bill and served its purpose well. I stayed in a king size room with a view of the city. Here are my pros and cons: Pros - Great location, next to the river, within walking distance of the Magnificent Mile and Metro - Lounge was modern looking but not quite there - Hotel staff was very friendly - No hassle check-in/check-out Cons - Closet located in the bathroom - Bathroom seems outdated compared to everything else - Toilet made a strange pumping noise after flushing - TV was not upgraded to flat panel, tube-style Everything else was great. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice Views

great hotel clean and reasonable. spend the extra money and get the river view. its worth it

Top Hotel

Hotel 71 is in an Excellent location, Our room was huge, luxury bathroom brilliant views. I would recommend taking a room with a river view, as the city views aren’t up to much. Within easy walk to all major attractions,Navy pier, Michigan ave,loop area. Train goes direct (Blue line) from the airport to the city centre which is only a 5min walk to hotel and only costs $2.25 .The hotel had a handy business room with free internet. I would definately use this hotel on my next visit.

Great location, good value

We were very pleased with Hotel71. Very modern decor & style, and fabulous location - convenient to Magnificent Mile, Theatre District, and State Street. We were able to walk to everything. Room layout (1 King) was rather unusual. Preferred layout of dbl Queen room that our kids were in, better sitting area, etc. Staff was helpful and friendly. About the only thing lacking was a comfortable and inviting lobby. Not a very inviting place to meet up with friends, family - very sparse and cold, limited seating.

Hotel 71 has huge rooms and great service.

The desk staff was very friendly and helpful at check-in and gave us great suggestions for dinner. Our room was big, clean and had everything we needed. It even had a CD player which was great to listen to our music while we got ready to go out for the night. The location was great because we could walk to some of the places we wanted to go and the others were just a short cab ride away. The women that checked us out was not very helpful when we asked for directions for breakfast. She didn’t seem to want to waste time helping us even though there was no other customers in the lobby. Other than her I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Wonderful Hotel

I had to travel to Chicago, IL for a family matter on last minute notice. As a result I was only able to give the hotel a 24 hour notice. I was worried that everything may not be ready when I arrived. However, they were expecting me and my room was beautiful. The lobby of the hotel was lovely and everything up to date. I was very pleased with the staff and the hotel location was within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and places of interest like Millennium Park. There was always a taxi right outside as well.

Amazing location and service.

It was the second time we stay at this hotel. The view from our room included the Chicago River, the Marina Towers, the Wrighly building and far away, the Hancock. The room was spacious, clean, and we had a terrific experience.

Gorgeous River View

Fabulous hotel on the river... rooms are very comfortable and hotel staff superb! The hotel has a cafe with fantastic food in a cozy environment. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely return

Nice place to stay

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel71. I got a corner room with a view of the river (even though I only paid for the "city view" room). The location was great and the room was very nice. Diclaimer: I haven’t stayed in such nice hotels so my expectations are/were low :)

My kind of town(and Hotel 71) Chicago is....

My first trip ever to Chicago was fantastic in part due to Hotel 71. Looking out my 34th floor window I could see 7 bridges over the Chicago river. I was right across from the Marina Towers and the Trump building. The Magnificient Mile crossed the Michigan bridge right caddycorner from the entrance of the hotel. And the Corner Bakery was two buildings over on the corner, of course. Busses stopped right across the street from the entrance of the hotel,and theaters were two blocks around the corner,as was the "L".It really doesn’t get any better than that. Hotel 71’s staff was accomodating,friendly, and ever present. The room was very large and clean. And the price was right! Not only would I recommend Hotel 71 highly, I intend to stay there again.

I always take the double decker bus trip and bring a map with me to locate all the sights I want to see. The bus gives you an overall tour of the city and the knowledgeable guides give you information. I then revist all the things I have marked on my map using public transportation and walking tours from City guidebooks.

Everything I wanted in a hotel!

So glad I stayed at Hotel 71 for four nights in October! My room was good sized. The view of the river was SO NICE - I could see 7 bridges and some incredible architecture - including the Trump building. I had room service for dinner twice and both times it was better than expected - and arrived very hot and fresh! It was more food than I expected or needed and a good value! The staff was very accommodating. The hotel was clean overall and in great condition. I was pleased with the flatscreen tv, desk, dresser and storage in my room. I would have liked to have had a regular shower head in addition to the rain shower...I don’t like it coming down on my head all the time. Can’t ask for a better location! I will definitely stay at Hotel 71 again!

Be aware of new increased? sales tax! I incorrectly thought I was saving (compared to California sales tax).

Ok hotel for a quick trip

The hotel was convenient to get to attractions in the city. Room was clean. However, I was put in a room right next to the elevator which constantly sounded like carts running across the hallway. Next time, I would request one away from it.

Location and service

Hotel 71 has a wonderful location and a fantastic view of the Chicago river. I higly recommend you get a "river view" room. As a first time visitor to Chicago, I found it an easy city to walk around in. Many of the famous sites are within walking distance from the Hotel 71. If you prefer cab service, it is instantly available thanks to a friendly doorman. Customer service both from room service and the front desk is excellent. I would rebook there any time I visit Chicago.

Really good view of chicago river

I got a room with a really good view of the chicago river. This was my first time in Chicago. The guy at the front desk was really knowledgeable and was able to recommend me some really good places to eat. Unless you are planning on staying on the lake, this is one of the best hotels in Chicago. The bulk of good restaurants are not walking distance. But, the view and comfort of the room beats everything. I would rather stay at Hotel 71 than Sofitel and Hilton which are pricier. This hotel beat them hands down. Dont forget to eat steak in Chicago. Awesome city for very good steaks.

Eat steaks in Chicago.

Girlfriends Trip

We had a lovely time in Chicago. The rainy weather did not even put a damper on the trip. Hotel accommodations exceeded our expectations. Very acommodating. Would stay again.

Weeknd in Chicago

Found the Hotel 71 very clean, great room with a view. Staff were friendly. Great location to walk to stores,catch the transit to musuems. Coffee just around the corner!!! If ever in Chicago again,will stay at Hotel 71.

Location, relaxation, view, new

Location-can’t be better! Right in the middle of everywhere you will want to go! Walk to anywhere or take El right around the corner. Relaxation-cozy room, cozy bed, lots of light, or pitch dark for sleeping in. Nice and quiet with all of the hustle and bustle right outside our window. View-we had a riverview room and it was exactly that! Looking out over the river from 16th floor was gogeous! New-we asked for a newly renovated room. We had to pay extra, but it was totally worth it! We loved this hotel and would go right back! A few things to note: ice on 2 floors only, no fridge/minibar, pay per view not working in our room, BEST coffee I had all week was from the coffee pot in the room! El as simple as it gets!

very good hotel in Chicago

room great, good location, clean and helpful staff.

OK

Nice Hotel, nothing fancy in a good location.
