Very old facility, did nit meet the standards of a 5 star hote

28.01.2026 Giuliana

The best thing of this hotel is th location. It is in the center of the one Chicago’s main avenue, with many stores, shopping, attractions nearby, etc.

11.01.2026 Rachel

Lupe was amazing when making the reservation, a true gem. We stayed in a suite for 2 nights, and it was perfect. Room was not overdone and roomy, a bathroom for us and a bathroom for our girls. Corner suite was so fun for them to see the city from many views. Small mishap, we called the hotel before we left (2 hour drive and a time zone change) and talked to Brenda who said our room was ready so we headed out. When we arrived to the hotel, we were told our room was not ready yet, but seriously Fredy did amazing and got us a great room comparable to the suite we initially booked. Eva and Susan checkin in with us during and after our stay, which was appreciated. Location of this hotel was amazing for shopping on Michigan Ave. We love going to Chicago and had not been to this one yet, and might give it a try again. Loved the views and 48 hours of family time. Also, I did not use the pool, but husband and daughter did, busy but nice, Definitely one to see in Chicago.

02.01.2026 Stephanie

We are on night two of our two night stay. The location of this hotel is truly prime—within easy walking distance to an abundance of food, entertainment, and nearby attractions, which is a major plus!

The check-in staff, especially Than, was wonderful. While we were due a complimentary room upgrade, unfortunately none were open at the time. As a kind gesture, he instead provided us with two complimentary drink tickets, which was an unexpected and appreciated surprise. When we went to redeem them at the bar in MJ Steakhouse, we learned after placing our cocktail orders that the tickets could not be used for the drinks we had chosen. This would have been helpful to know beforehand, but we still appreciated the initial gesture.

Breakfast was convenient, though nothing particularly memorable. We were grateful not to have to leave the hotel for our morning meal, but it is quite expensive at $36 per person plus a service charge/gratuity. I recently had bariatric surgery and carry a medical card intended to allow smaller portions. When I explained this to our breakfast waitress and requested the $19 kids’ meal, the request was declined. While I understand this is not legally required, accommodating it would have gone a long way in terms of customer service, as I was unable to eat more than a small portion of my nearly $40 breakfast.

Our room itself was nice and comfortable. One downside was finding a used bar of soap left in the shower, complete with a long black hair on it. On a positive note, staff were kind enough to provide us with a box fan upon request, which we appreciated.

The pool area was very nice, though it is not handicap-accessible in any way. This is important to keep in mind for anyone traveling with guests who may require accommodations. (We didn’t require this but I noted for the future in the event we travel with family)

The architecture and history of the property are incredible and truly add to the experience. We did notice that city noise was fairly loud in the executive tower, which didn’t bother us personally but may be an issue for lighter sleepers.

We were initially told there were no reservations available at MJ Steakhouse, but we were fortunate to get seats at the bar. The food was amazing and absolutely lived up to expectations. We were a bit disappointed to see a party after us receive a table for three without a reservation when we had been denied, but we chose not to let it impact our dining experience.

Overall, the hotel has many strong points—especially location, history, and food—along with a few areas where clearer communication and flexibility could enhance the guest experience.

FYI-Room service delivery fee is $8. Gratuity is automatically added but does not show up in the cart. It only shows up AFTER you pay, on the receipt. We ordered 3 milk and cookies and the final bill was $45 ($25 for the food item and rest on delivery, tax, automatic gratuity and extra tip)!
The hotel itself is nice. Rooms, bathrooms and facilities are clean. Staff is courteous. Pool is beautiful. Location can't be beat.

23.12.2025 Kate

We stayed here for one night with our 7 month old and we really enjoyed it! We had a great view on the 23rd floor and the employees are really kind and helpful. Breakfast buffet was crazy expensive but was honestly very good. My only complaint was our room was SO HOT, there was no way for us to turn the heat off so I was sweating lol. But very accommodating for us and the baby

17.12.2025 franklee20000204

The service was satisfactory, the environment was beautiful and unique, the hygiene was excellent, the staff were courteous, the rooms were clean, the facilities were complete, the food was safe, the taste was unique, and the amenities were comprehensive.

08.12.2025 Toni

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at the InterContinental Chicago this weekend. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—especially from Than at the front desk. He was incredibly personable and friendly, asked about the reason for our visit, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Once he learned we were celebrating our anniversary, he added thoughtful touches that made our stay feel truly special. His kindness set the tone for our whole weekend.
Our room was beautiful—spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. It felt like such a relaxing retreat after being out exploring the city all day. The location of the hotel was also perfect. We were able to walk to almost everything on our itinerary, from restaurants to shops to sightseeing along the lakefront. It made the trip so easy and enjoyable.
Overall, we were extremely impressed with the hotel and the service. Than deserves special recognition for helping make our anniversary trip unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Easy check-in, great location, and the room was better than expected. We also used the gym and enjoyed the sauna. Would stay here again and recommend to friends and family. Thanks!

Came here for some drinks the last time my husband and I visited Chicago. The bartender was great, and I love the vibe of the place, feels like your hanging out in a friends basement. All the people leaving negative reviews just don’t understand the concept...it’s a dive bar and it’s just supposed to be a fun experience. We didn’t order food while we were here, just drinks...they were very inexpensive but still good. Highly recommend checking this place out!!

18.01.2018 Bryan

This place is a classic Chicago visit, they have decent burgers and drinks. Located below Michigan Ave, take the stairs down and it will be around the corner. The steps are a bit small going into the restaurant so be careful. I'd definitely will be coming back to this location.

12.01.2018 Lauren

Checking off one touristy thing on our Chicago list was visiting Billy Goat Tavern. Ordering was simple, burgers were good and atmosphere was iconic. I don't think I'd need to go back here time and time again, but it was fun to check it out at least once!

28.12.2017 Brandon

“Doubles are the best!” This place was really good. They have thin patties but plenty of flavor. Worth going and experiencing the old time tavern feeling.

13.12.2017 Meghan

I know it's famous from the SNL sketch, but I didn't think it was anything special outside of that. The food was no better than a Burger King or something and the whole place is pretty informal, making it pretty hard for first-time visitors to figure out how it works. It wasn't super clean either. I don't know why it has such a popular reputation.

Had a great lunch today. Our server, Ryan was very hospitable and accommodating of us as we are both vegan. The food was delicious and hot and the portions were very generous.

04.01.2018 Jeff

Walked slightly off the beaten path of Michigan Avenue to this gem of a restaurant. It was surprisingly not crowded, and we received excellent service. The food was better than expected, and we avoided some long lines by choosing this over some deep dish.

30.12.2017 Eric

Do not go here. My wife and I went to the bar and were completely ignored. When we were acknowledged it took forever to order anything. Once we did order something I had to ask for silverware and was given paper napkins not proper utensils. Our server Eileen was more interested in talking to her friends then serving her guests properly. I’ve never given one star and if I could give zero I would. Awful service, awful staff and the worst PF Chang’s I have ever been to. Do Not Go Here. They treat people like trash. The napkins were what I was given when I asked for proper utensils.

24.12.2017 Danielle

My fiancé and I went here last night. We were seated in an area where 3 servers were available. Not one acknowledged us for 15 minutes. We saw a hostess make a round of the area and approach a server. We overheard table 3 needed to be seen. 5 more minutes had passed and I approached that same hostess. She said they were “working” on it. Out of respect and good service, an apology would have been nice. Instead, a server just showed up and acted as if nothing happened. We didn’t even have water!

30.11.2017 Mario

Only reason its 1 star is that there is no 0 star option. Ordered from there for delivery. After one hour of wait, I receive an e-mail that the delivery was successful, although I still hadn't received the food. Turns out they delivered it to an incorrect address, not even close to mine (found out from Amazon Restaurants not from them as they wouldn't even answer their phone when I tried to notify them). Of course didn't receive any apology or compensation from their side either. terrible!

Overpriced tourist trap that caters to unsuspecting yahoos who don't know any better.

04.09.2017 Patrick

I came with a group of 8. Derek served us without hesitation. I asked for an old fashioned, and it did not disappointment. Derek took care of us. He made the best old fashioned I have ever had. If I ever come back to Chicago, I will absolutely come back to this bar.

15.08.2017 Taras

This place is a joke
Cocktails are terrible
The table was dirty wet and sticky
We had 3 different type cocktails and all 3 were just disgusting
Food: fries for 18$, server brought spoon for dessert without napkin and put it on the dirty table.
Also ordered grilled octopus, it actually tasted pretty good but it was cold
So if you are looking for a place to make a couple nice pictures u can go here
If you are looking for a restaurant don't ever go here, you will just wasted your time and money

13.08.2017 phoenite

Awful service. No assistance or apology offered from manager. Spent over $500 on lunch for 7 people, never received part of the order. Were told 30 minutes after we ordered that they were out of mussels. So, like fools, we ordered the Benjamin burher($100) instead. This was not brought to the table for 40 minutes. Overall terrible experience. Would not recommend.

25.06.2017 Olesya

One star only for the view.
Absolutely everything else, to a T, was awful.
We came with a party of four. They didn't have two of the drinks on the menu available. The one drink we ordered, which they "had available" was not brought to us. Instead they took the liberty of bringing us a completely different drink.

They also didn't have food items available. We ended up ordering a lobster roll which was $36 for a bun that was 95% filled with veggies and 5% with a measley substance that was supposed to pass off for lobster.

Two of us ordered a Plate of Octopus, which turned into a scavenger hunt of finding an actual octopus piece on the plate, among the 95% of veggies. A more accurate description would have been - a plate of lettuce and Cabbage in a gravy of sauce , with a garnish of octopus. Zero flavor.

Last and absolutely worst - service! Incredibly slow. I. E. They brought out our appetizer at the END of our meal. With no apology or acknowledgment of their mistake. My meal was brought about ten minutes after everyone else's. Again, no attempt made to appease the customer. The terrace was unbelievably cold and they told us we couldn't sit in an area near the gas lamps because that area wasn't served.

All in all. Extremely overpriced, with awful service and cheap substitutes for what a meal at the price listed should be. Avoid.
