Cute and trendy hotwl but there was a loud party on-site which ruined experience. It felt clean but our mini fridge had takeout left from former guest, so maid service obviously missed that.

I was very disappointed they were not ice machines on every floor. I was on the third floor, but there were no ice machines. So I was very that grateful that the FRONT DESK brought me ICE whenever I needed it needed it. Why don’t you offer shower caps automatically in every room? Ugh!

Nice but some uncomfortable issues

The stay was nice, except didn’t start off the best. There was not a luggage cart left so we had to lug everything ourselves to the room. Two trips, as I stayed with our belongings on the area couch as my husband shlepped it all to the room. No offer for help from staff. Room was clean. We elected no maid service during our short stay. Oh, and the tub/shower surround was impossibly high and it was slippery at the bottom of the tub and got a nasty string of bruises on my thigh from it. If you stay here, try and get a room with the handicap bathroom. We aren’t handicapped but this tub surround was ridiculously high and with the bar handle in a dumb place. Bed was super comfortable and pillows nice. Chairs were meh. We got the executive king. No microwave which is fine but a good safe for belongings. Fan was super loud but it drowned out the traffic noise down below which was loud. We did sleep well though.

Excellent location, underwhelming experience.

The main material in the room for cabinetry and decoration is plywood. That’s been laced over. I’m sure they were going for an edgy aesthetic, but it just comes off as cheap. The pillows were so bad it caused me to get less sleep. I was also disappointed to see that room service never cleaned, despite by telling housekeeping that I was leaving the room for the day and it was ready to be serviced. I had to inform the front desk when we got back late that afternoon, and they quickly came up to clean. Beyond those things, it was a decent room. Location is perfect if you want to be in Fulton market. The coffee shop and bar are nice, and you definitely feel like you’re in the middle of everything.

Staying at The Emily was a great experience for my first trip to Chicago. The location is great, as it's close to so many attractions and restaurants, including a delicious on-site restaurant, Fora, which I had twice in my three days. The front desk staff was friendly and informative, while the cleaning staff left my room sparkling. The room offered plenty of natural light, a comfortable king bed and a strong air conditioner (which was a necessity during a heat wave). I will definitely be considering The Emily when I take my next trip to Chicago.
