There was no balcony at all. Texted mngmnt with no response. Finally called. Was told “I tell people that when you’re that high up, a balcony really doesn’t matter”. Hmmmmm. Anyway after saying unacceptable and being told no other properties a miracle occurred and we were upgraded to a larger unit with an oversized balcony! Viola!

The view was amazing! Tremendous property! Check in was easy and location was amazing. Within steps of the CTA and walking distance to the mag mile, theater, the Christmas market and Navy Pier. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped. Elevators were fast and building was secure with a door person at the front desk most hours of the day. It was winter, so we were unable to use the pool or the outside track, but the fitness area on floor nine had quite a few treadmills, weights and even a basketball court. Overall, our stay was excellent. There is a grocery store next door and lots of restaurants within walking distance. I would recommend the Star of Siam. Would definitely stay here again, next time we come to Chicago. ##### William M.

The location of this incredibly clean, neat, organized and well equipped kitchen is prime. We were walking distance of many venues and activities we had planned. We used the parking garage and that was efficient because of the in/out privileges. The hosts, James and Jeri Lou, are excellent communicators with their aim to ensure we had all the information we needed to make our trip a memorable vacation, which it was. If we were to visit Chicago again, I would stay at the Grand Plaza and I would recommend this place to anyone! ##### Lori R.

First off, the communication from the host was outstanding, including very specific directions for parking and check in that made it very easy. The apartment was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The view was amazing, looking out at Marina City. The location proved perfect, as Grand Station and the red line are literally steps from the front door. This made it an easy train ride to the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and the Art Institute. Willis tower was an easy 25 minute walk along The River Walk. And the Grocery store in the same building was very convenient. ##### Adam C.

Absolutely loved our stay here at The Grand Plaza!!! Perfect location, literally the redline subway entrance was right outside the main plaza door, doesn’t get any better than that. Priceless views of the city, like someone said prior to us staying here, “it's like something out of a movie.” It felt very cozy, this place has everything you need for a VERY comfortable stay with the fully stocked kitchen utensils you’d need, washer & dryer and even a grocery store on the 1st floor right outside the main entrance. Everyone we encountered during our stay at the Grand Plaza was super nice, checking in and out was easy with no issues. I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be staying here again next year!!! Thank you, Jim & Jeri-Lou for everything, we had a memorable stay. 😊 ##### Becky R.

The penthouse was clean with exceptional views of the green river in the midst of the Chicago skyline! My partner and I came to Chicago for a concert and to visit her son. The place was clean and comfortable. The location was awesome - we were able to walk to the river event and the St Patrick's Day parade and we could uber everywhere else we wanted to go. Check-in was easy and coming and going from the building was clear and simple. (Starbucks was a short walk next door every morning!) We loved the experience overall! The only minor issue was the pillows in the bedroom were really dense and uncomfortable, but we we did fine. Again, great experience - the owners were clear about expectations and really easy to work with! We will definitely stay here again! ##### Brian S.

The unit was clean, the views were spectacular and the fireplace added a perfect touch of comfort. Communication from the host was prompt, clear, and consistently helpful from check-in to departure. The building amenities—including the gym —were well-maintained and convenient. Everything you could possibly need for the ultimate Chicago experience was within walking distance. Overall, an outstanding experience that exceeded expectations. Highly recommend. ![View from living room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1b702e4a-e316-41bd-b4de-683feb5b85bc-1764700926697.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from living room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/905362e3-c3b6-44dc-89b1-e221a6c154a0-1764700967160.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lobby Christmas Tree](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8816fc35-a930-4adf-9064-ad09480b08d1-1764701000043.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa A.
