Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

6/10 Okay
"We had reserved a king bed, but since we checked in later in the evening, I guess none were available and my wife and I ended up with twin beds instead. Overall, our experience with the front desk staff was mixed — some were very friendly and helpful, while others were not."
