Amalfi Hotel Chicago

I stayed here with my family. We had two rooms which were great. The bathrooms were pretty and large and I wasn't scared to actually take a bath (usually I take showers because of sketchy grout, etc). They have an awesome reception every night, which is included in the price, from 5:30-7:00 which was really nice. They have wine, cheese, pita, etc. And the breakfast every morning is on each floor so you can feel comfortable coming in your pj's, which is great! The beds were comfy, our view was on Kinzie street facing Harry Cary's. The only drawbacks were 1)the dirty dishes outside BOTH of our rooms when we checked in. I assume the dishes were from room service or something. But BOTH rooms have a stack of dirty dishes? I've never had that happen before. And the room on the second floor was facing an alley, which wasn't appealing at all. I'd stay here again, but I'd make sure to ask for a room with a view :) Not sure if there is anything that can be done about the dirty dishes.

it was a great experience,employees and hotel cleanliness.they had free breakfast buffet every morning on every floor.they also had complimentary happy hour every night.. the only complaint i had was hearing garbage trucks at 6 in the morning. i believe there is a law they can not pick up garbage until 9 says the hotel.

My sister's birthday is next week. I wanted to make it very special for her. After researching a lot of hotels in River North and MagMile - chose a different hotel than this initially. Then after second guessing and hopes to provide the best hotel for my budget -- I chose Amalfi. The pictures of the hotel are deceptive at best. The interior looks drab and dingy. Nothing about the interior is upscale or modern. Size was decent. Lobby is the smallest I have ever seen. Business center is a stand alone rollaway minister and printer outside of the main floor elevator which remains "temporarily" out of service for the 3 nights there. I was hoping to feel comfortable at the very least... But was horribly disappointed upon learning the beeping I heard off an on was due to being placed in room 212 directly above a parking garage. Each time the garage door opened a loud beeping occurred which could be heard and felt (vibration) in our room. I thought some neighbor had a large alarm clock or cell phone next to the door. Out frustration we called the main desk Sunday am but the front desk said we could switch rooms.., they isn't seem to offer to help move our things ... At check out the next morning I explained the situation again was assured they were not aware any of the rooms had an issue and a manager would email me. Which never happened. Expectations were not met and definitely not exceeded. Location was great, but I could've gotten a better experience from a chain hotel and saved money, freebies of breakfast and drinks/snacks were of the chain hotel or less quality. TV was the first flat screen display TV invented and was my enjoyable to eatch anything on. The hotel definitely takes short cuts to save money and maximize their profit. Seems like they really need to be downgraded from a 4 star hotel it is 2.5 at best. The lobby staff was very friendly. That and the location were the only good aspects. I would not return to this hotel again. Especially since the manager never emailed me as promised. The 4 star hotel I was hoping to take my sister to for her birthday... Was a let down. They shouldn't be allowed to rent that room. The noise level was unbearable - I would've complained sooner but had no idea that the noise wasn't from a guest it was from poor planning - it should've been a storage closet.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. There was a decent breakfast every morning and a cocktail reception in the evenings which we actually did not get to cause we were out enjoying the city. The room itself was very nice, in good repair but the heating/cooling unit in our room was very loud, maybe broken which got irritating at some points. We both slept very well in the firm bed! Our second day when we had come back our room had not been turned over as they usually do and the cleaning person was irritated when we asked for a couple new towels. But when we left for dinner they came in and turned over for us. The front desk staff/ concierge were great and extremely helpful. I would recommend this hotel to others and I would stay here again, cause overall it was a great stay.

Found it to be very comfortable, great location for River North area and fairly reasonable price for location. Enjoyed contintental breakfast but did not get the chance to take advantage of the wine and appitizers offered in the evening. Overall worth it. Parking is expensive but no more than the other hotel parking in Chicago.

We had a wonderful stay. The staff and room were great. Nice complementary drinks every night and breakfast every morning on every floor. Quality gym. Close to all attractions. An all around great hotel.

The hotel was great. There were no issues with the hotel or its staff. The free breakfast was a definite plus.

Staff friendly and attentive. Continental Breakfast was just right. Free drinks with Antipasti between 17:30 & 19:30 each night was fantastic. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The use of computers and printer on 4th floor was very helpful. Could not fault hotel.

We went to Chicago on a quick day trip with friends to do some Christmas shopping. Had a wonderful time. Hotel is located in the perfect spot for dinning and entertainment. Cant wait for next Year.

We have stayed at this property 3-4 times in the past and the staff and location are excellent. We don't spend too much time in the room, however, the TV's or signal do need updating. The mattress in our bed was also getting a bit worn, in that the support was not there as I would have expected.
