Very good
Everything was very good. Great location, good staff, clean environment. The location allowed us to venture through most of the city on foot and the balcony offered a great view.

Overall our experience was pretty good except for housekeeping knocking on the door at 9 and 10 am to clean our room. Checkout wasn't until noon, so we didn't feel they should have bothered us. I also didn't think the response from the person at the front desk was appropriate when I complained about it.

Would not stay there again ...
Overall, it was an everage experience. Staff wasn't friendly (even rude) ~ Had to wait hours to check in ... Room overall looked okay but bathroom doors are ridiculous. I wouldn't stay at Crown Plaza Hotel again and would not recomend for any of my friends and family

Great overnight stay
I stayed with a friend Friday night, the night of the snow strom. Got a good rate for a last minute reservation. The front desk staff was very friendy, comfortable temperature in the room when we checked in. Room was clean, beds were very comforable. Great to have a restaurant in the hotel, our server Sam was very friendly, made some good suggestions for dinner. This was my 2nd stay at this hotel in the last 7 months, everything was great both times.

Good location and good price
It was a nice hotel and very clean. I stayed one night with a couple of friends on a Friday through Saturday. Check-in was very fast and the customer service was fast and friendly. The location was perfect for where we were going that night because it was really close to our plans that night and the price was really good also. Compared to other hotels I have stayed at around the same price range, this was the nicest one in that price range. Thr breakfast was good and the bar was also nice.

Don't choose this one
I used to have a good experience in Crown Plaza at Dubai. However, the days at Crown Plaza Chicago is an awful experience. The room is pretty good. But the service is terrible. After I leave the hotel, I found a transaction of more than $200 on my credit card (it's not a pending deposit!) I tried to contact the hotel to figure out what it is but get no reply. They can't tell me what the money is for and refuse to refund the money. What's the difference between this and a stealer?!
