We had a great stay at the 21c Museum Hotel. The location is amazing—just one block off the Magnificent Mile, with Trader Joe’s and Marshall’s right across the street, and only two blocks from the Starbucks Reserve. Super convenient to multiple bus lines and the red subway line, all within a short walk. Our room was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. We didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant or the gym. No complaints at all—would happily stay here again!

This is my go to hotel when I come to stay in Chicago. The location is great with Trader Joe’s across the street and lots of great restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. In addition, the hotel offers lots of amenities like free refillable water bottles, discounts at the restaurant, and of course, all the magnificent art.

Love this hotel, and Morgan at the Lure Fish bar is extra extraordinary! Outstanding customer service. My only complaint, we were without soap or shampoo for two days. They need to be mindful about refilling the containers in the bathroom. Other than that, perfect Stay.

This was our 6th stay in Chicago, the first at 21C. We have a 21C in our hometown where I had a school reunion, so we were really looking forward to our stay. We will not ever stay in this one again. It took almost 40 minutes waiting for an elevator the day we checked out. My husband went down nine floors of stairs with some of our luggage because we had to wait so many times for an open elevator. We had to call the hotel for our security deposit, and eventually, well after two full weeks, almost seventeen days, it was finally refunded. The barn door of the bathroom led to absolutely no privacy while in the bathroom, and if you tried to close it too far for some privacy, the door would get stuck. Our view was the top of a building next door. They boasted about the complimentary water bottles at check in - but you get two per room, so if you have three people, one of you has nothing. In addition, there were only two water filling stations, and one ice machine in the entire hotel which was downstairs. I’m not exactly sure what the extra $80 fee was for, because other than the blocky rooms of a few pieces of art, there was no other amenities. The only bonus is that Trader Joe’s is across the street, which was convenient. By far our WORST hotel experience in one of our favorite cities.
