Comfortable Clean and Convenient to Restaurants

It was a comfortable stay and convenient to restaurants and shops. It was difficult to park nearby the hotel so we did valet parking for convenience of $80 a night. Our car was kept safe. The only issue was the noise from the parties from the restaurant music or nearby bars and rooftop music. It did go off around midnight so we were ok with it.

Poor water pressure

First time staying. Seemed to have all you’d want in a hotel amenities wise but the water pressure was very poor. Just barely enough for a decent shower. Wouldn’t risk staying their again for that alone since the rest of it wasn’t enough to overcome it.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Emily Hotel. We had a great room at a great price. The check in was quick and easy, we valeted our car which was worth every penny for the convenience. Coffee every morning and a cocktail every evening at the hotel were very nice. The area around the hotel is a whirlwind of fantastic dining and nightlife options. If you're looking for upscale fun for the weekend, you'll love The Emily Hotel in Chicago!
