10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at this hotel many times and u have to commend the staff on their level of service. They are always ready to assist you. The rooms are spacious and modern and even though it's in the middle of downtown its really quiet in the rooms."

"Had a great time at the annual FanExpo. The skywalk was convenient but they closed it through the day which totally defeated the purpose. Great time otherwise."

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

8/10 Good
"Fantastic location, friendly and helpful staff, and very comfortable bedding (my friend who shared the room wtih me ordered the pillows for use at home!). Rooms are about the size one would expect for this neighborhood - smaller than in the suburbs! The bathroom amenities are high quality. I only subtracted a star because the elevators were very, very slow resulting in us and several other groups of guests using the stairs which were pretty poorly labeled for ease of use and for safety (if there had been an emergency. I gave this feedback to staff who were outwardly receptive - and who hopefully re-sign the stairwells so that other guests like us (and the other 8 people we found in them!) will know exactly where to go whether rushed or at a calm pace."
