We were unimpressed
Hometown Traveler Dec 1, 2009
There is a $15/day charge to use the pool - -YUCK! The pool and whirlpool are nice, but shouldn't be an added cost. This is ... a big chain hotel with little luxury to offer. Felt like the mini-bar was fitted with a camera. Something fell out and we had a knock on our door 15 minutes later asking if we needed the minibar restocked - - weird. The lobby has no draw to sit and relax (more like pass through and get out). There is coffee in the lobby that looks inviting, but then you notice the sign that indicates "For British Airways Only". They offered to upgrade our room for an additional $100/day. Hmmmmmmmm. Not really much of a bargain.The place really lacks atmosphere in all respects. [...]

My new favorite hotel in Chicago
D Kent Nov 3, 2009
I was looking for an affordable place for a last minute trip to the city. I had heard good things about Swisshotel, and could ... not agree more. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was clean and modern, and the view was amazing. I did check the pool and fitness center out and will definitely use them the next time. My only suggestion (not a complaint), would be to have a 'to go' cup for the coffeemaker in the room. Swisshotel strives to be green which I appreciate, but I was ready to get my day started. Everything else was fantastic, and it will be the first place I check for my next visit.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and it was amazing. The lobby isnt as modern but it has a classic look to it. When we ... checked in they gave us a free upgrade to the king deluxe suite and we had 2 great views of the city and the lake. The beds were very comfy and clean. The hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant. The bathroom had a standing shower and a soaking tub and both were clean and well kept. Nice hotel and nice rooms

Solid Hotel
NY Jetsetter Sep 12, 2009
The hotel was great. We loved the room and had an amazing view of the river. Good location and amenities. Only 2 ... drawbacks, first, they did not have any rooms with a king size bed available even though I called ahead to request this. Second, the cash machine fee was over $3 (can't remember if it was $3.50 or $4) which I found to be ridiculous considering I was a guest in their hotel. Other than those minor things, great experience. Would definitely go back. The fruit water in the lobby was a nice touch.

The hotel was super nice. Very modern and chic. However, the hotel staff was noticeably unfriendly. Only a few staff ... members were helpful while the rest remained cold and inhospitable. Was never greeted once by a hotel staff upon entering the hotel. Even the people at the front desk had bland personalities.

John Sep 7, 2009
Disappointed to learn there was a $15/ use charge for the pool and fitness center which was not mentioned on Orbitz. We ... picked the hotel because it had a pool. As great as the location is would not stay there again for that reason. Plus, we asked for a single queen bed and were stuck with a room with two double beds which felt very small.

Kax Sep 5, 2009
Our 25th floor room had a fantastic lake view, overlooking the Chicago River and Navy Pier. We were lucky enough to see the ... sun rise over this vista on a clear cloudless morning. We chose the hotel because we stayed there once before and it was a known good quantity, and because it was within easy walking distance to what we came to Chicago for: The Art Institute, Millenium Park, and a couple of great restaurants. My only complaint was that the room's proximity to the elevators made for an annoying rumble whenever they went up or down. I dealt with it by pretending elevated trains were going by and I was just getting a bit of Chicago's ambience. If you're a very light sleeper, make sure your room is far away from the elevators.
