Staff were friendly can’t remember his name but great guy! Very pleasant would be back.

Thanks to beautiful, super-cool decor and 80s music always playing in the lobby, the vibe of this hotel is chic and fun. Although the rooms are very small, they are elegant, functional, clean, and very nicely decorated. The shower is roomy and the bathroom was impeccably clean, with good water pressure (a standard by which I judge all hotels!). The mattress, pillows, and bedding were comfortable, as well. They give you as much free bottled water as you want, which saved me from my usual trip to the store to buy a case of bottled water whenever I stay in a hotel. I had stayed in another nearby hotel during my last trip to Chicago, and I kept passing Hotel Felix and looking inside thinking, I wish I had stayed there. So this time, I did. (BONUS: It was also less expensive than the hotel next door!)

The location is nice, close to lots of things and the lobby is nice. However this place needs a major upgrade - once you exit the elevator you can tell it’s an old building. It’s really loud, you can hear everything. There was a metal piece just hanging from the ceiling. We noted 2 guests would be in the room but still was only provided one towel. The room was scorching hot, it was unbearable. We went to use the Gym and it was closed. Overall not a great experience and wouldn’t recommend

very helpful and friendly staff, rooms were clean and hotel convenient to our needs.

This hotel was absolutely fabulous. It’s located in the river north neighborhood downtown. Walking distance to Michigan Avenue and a bunch of shops and restaurants. I also loved that at the hotel is on a one-way street. It made unloading our vehicles and valet parking incredibly easy. This will be our go to hotel in Chicago!

Location is excellent. Very clean and we'll maintained. Staff was nice. Rooms are nice, clean and cozy.

Beautiful, clean, excellent service and location. Such a wonderful place!

Conveniently located and a good value. It is close enough to major tourist spots yet far enough away to allow for a better Chicago city experience.

Great location, friendly staff, very noisy rooms, first room wasn’t well cleaned, still had trash on floor, elevators constantly out of order, very scary in a high rise, brunch at hotel “French “ restaurant totally bogus.

They don't use fitted sheets. The ice machine was broken. They don't tell you when you check in what the "urban fee"Includes. Air conditioner is poor. Thin walls don't give you much privacy, especially if your room is next to the elevator and the supply closet.

Refreshingly modest price for such a boutique style hotel right downtown.

Nice location, nice lobby. Staff was nice. The place is a bit broken- elevator didn’t work often but it’s a 3 star so that wouldn’t bother us! The room had a faint odor. The concern was there was intermittent leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom. Initially we thought it might be condensation on the vent. But after a day or two started noticing it was correlating with the person above us flushing their toilet. So it was toilet water which explained the faint smell in the room! They do charge an additional $20/day as a resort fee to cover a daily water bottle and WiFi. I thought that was a bit excessive haha! I have water and WiFi.

Great location in River North and easy access to everything. Some of the rooms were run down, but apart from some of those issues its a wonderful hotel.

No coffee maker in the room! Otherwise overall good. Was there for 2 nights for work --- location central, wi-fi was good. Room was small though.
