Nice and great service.
I have stayed at this hotel several times, but was very disappointed that my package included free parking and two cocktails, which were not honored at the reception desk. Parking was $54/night. I feel some compensation is in order.

The W Chicago - Navy Pier
Fairly quiet hotel until the wee hours of the weekend. Walls are definitely not soundproof & I was awakened by voices which sounded like they were in the room with me on both Friday & Saturday night. Staff was friendly & helpful, especially Lois. Hotel is a brief walk to Navy Pier or to stores on Michigan avenue.

Fun Quick trip
This was a fun quick trip/getaway. Did a package where parking and two drinks were included. Room was comfortable. The bar is always fun. The location is great for shopping, and hitting the nightlife afterwards. Since Bliss spa is right in the hotel, this was a great deal.
