They made sure I initialed the section where you agree to not smoke in 3 different places. Went to my room and it literally reeked of smoke. I went back downstairs to be told they had no other queen rooms and I would have to upgrade for a king size which was extra $10 a night so I did even after being told it was difficult to do so. In general the place was very clean. But if you’re looking for a true boutique hotel this is not it! Bathrooms are old and need serious updating, pink tile! Carpets are also old. But I will say the bed was extremely comfortable and I had a good sleep.

The front desk staff were cool and not helpful when we asked about where parking was available. When I went to call the front desk because there was no shampoo, I found the phone unplugged with no cord to plug it in, so I had to go to the desk. The water in the shower was like warm. The whole property is tired.

Very clean, staff was super nice and the beds are big and comfy. The water pressure of the shower is literally perfect as well. I will definitely come back here in the future if I'm ever in Chicago.
25.10.2025 Chloe
The hotel is a bit older, but the room was very nice and clean! In the BEST location. It was very convenient to walk around -- many food places and stores (CVS, target).

About the only thing we liked about this hotel was the location for a race at Montrose Harbor park. Definitely dated but the room was clean. Horrible motion activated fluorescent light in the bathroom that came on along with a very loud fan whenever you walked in or by the bathroom. Not great for a middle of the night visit. No coffee maker in the room. Lukewarm coffee in the lobby. A lot of bangs and creaks. Really crappy pillows and a super thick comforter on the bed. Woke up drenched. Shower water pressure very low in one of our two rooms. Parking not bad in a Park Chicago garage a 3 minute walk away.

Our stay at Millow Hotel was very good overall. The lady at the front desk was extremely kind and helpful — she went out of her way to help us find a taxi at 3 a.m. when my Uber app wasn’t working and we needed to get to the airport. Honestly, we don’t know what we would have done without her!
The room was comfortable and the experience was nice. As an architect, I noticed a few small finishing details in the bathroom that could be improved, but other than that, everything was great.

We stay there when in Chicago for Cubs games. Great neighborhood, good access to running area, and easy walk to Wrigley Field.
14.10.2025 Gia
Facilities were dark, worn and dingy with builder grade furniture. No decor or amenities. Motel-like atmosphere for an average of $600/night.

Area was walkable and staff were nice.
10.10.2025 Ann
We found our new Hotel while in Chicago. Front desk attendant very helpful and friendly. Quiet, clean and very charming.

I really didnt know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The history in this place is amazing!! The staff was great and helpful with any questions. If you’re looking for a fancy modern room  it may not be for you but I thought it was just great! Also the location is perfect.
