Fabulous! Location was amazing, the quality was outstanding! We couldn’t have asked for a better hotel for our convention.
The hotel was nice, view was amazing, very convenient location, breakfast was good, and the staff was friendly. The only thing that was upsetting was the $20 urban fee that was added nightly for the amenities of the hotel. All hotels offer amenities and that is why you pay almost $200 a night for the room.
My husband and I stayed here for the first time and it was an excellent experience from the time we pulled up to the curb and the doorman welcomed us to the hotel.. We travel a lot and staying here was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I would recommend it without hesitation!
Beautiful hotel. Modern and well appointed. Food was excellent and staff was very knowledgeable!
It’s an OK hotel but not worth the price. I usually like to stay in luxury hotels and this is not one of them. I would recommend staying at their competitors like Dana or the Ivy over this one. I booked through Orbitz and received $40 in extra fees (hiden) at check in
Location was great for walking downtown or to catch a bus. Staff was helpful with directions and accommodating. The room was dusty as if it had not been checked on before our arrival but overall good hotel.
The aesthetics of the hotel are captivating. The Radisson Blu is a great place to stay. I enjoyed the details in the decoration, the shower, the gym, the floors, the floor to ceiling windows, the balcony the exceptional gym...with a indoor basketball half court, sauna and location.
Stay was great but they are always finding a way to charge extra for something. Why is their a need to charge an urban fee?
Great hotel! Love the amenities that they offer. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Awesome location. Right in the middle of all the action.
We didn't hear much noise in the hallways or adjacent rooms Lovely visit, only drawbacks were the AC couldn't quite get the room cold enough and the pools are much smaller than expetes
We enjoyed our recent stay at the hotel for a fun long weekend in Chicago. Our favorite part was the 3rd floor rooftop pool and garden; a wonderful spot to relax and take in different views of the Windy City. The room was sparkling clean with a sleek, modern feel. The expansive shower stall and upscale bath and body products were a nice touch.
Overpriced for what you receive. Hot tubs are so packed you can't use them. Sink broke, room service didn't listen, AC didn't work correctly and the pillows were flat.
Within walking distance of many attractions. Room was a little small, near a fire station, not very kid friendly.
I've lived at trump tower for years. Stayed here, loved it. Very easy in and out for a night away.
The hotel location is great, within walking distance to many areas. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room was somewhat small, but it worked with the layout. My room had a king size bed (very comfortable), my girlfriend and I, we opted for a microwave and a fridge and we still never felt cramp. The room also has 2 bedside tables, a desk, a small table, 2 chairs, minibar, and closet..STILL plenty of room. The hotel felt safe and was fairly quiet (15th floor) other than the doors, that if not held, slam shut with a vengeance. This hotel isn't a hoity toity, fancy, lavish style hotel, rather more of a modern style. I did not try the restaurant because of previous reviews I've read on it, coupled with the price...Just not worth the gamble. The food did smell great, though! I did not run into any problems throughout my stay. However, the 2nd night in, there was large...group that came in to stay and for the next 3 days and my hall was filled with the smell of marijuana which was beyond frustrating.
The rooms are comfortable and there is a lot of activities to enjoy in the area.
Probably the most beautiful and dazzling hotel I have been to in the US. Every detail was just right.
Neat overall decor. Enjoyed outside pool. Room was rather small.
First of all, I'm picky....and this place is fabulous. You will not be disappointed...
The Hotel is beautiful with respect to the rooms, the public spaces and the exterior. The staff are pleasant and prompt from the doormen to the people cleaning the rooms. The attached restaurant for breakfast/lunch has good food and excellent service. The terrace attached to most rooms allows you to walk out and enjoy the view.

nice hotel/urban fee???

The hotel was nice, view was amazing, very convenient location, breakfast was good, and the staff was friendly. The only thing that was upsetting was the $20 urban fee that was added nightly for the amenities of the hotel. All hotels offer amenities and that is why you pay almost $200 a night for the room.
