First off, we spent 30 minutes in the lobby because the hotel employee was not picking up the phone to allow security to send us up. We had just left the festival and wanted to go upstairs, check in quickly, but instead almost fell asleep in the lobby. Next day, we decided to get the continental breakfast. VERY LIMITED options. Worst of all, the milk was SPOILED! The coffee was not even hot and it did not meet basic coffee standards. If this does not come included, just walk to Dunkin’ Donuts which is a 45 second walk away from the hotel. Not only that, the hotel charges you for any little thing. Just take your own snacks, the hotel was not cheap, but they made our experience not want to go back even with that view. Overall, it’s in a great area; just a 5-10 min walk from grant park. You have the metro nearby with easy access to the 290 expressway. There are many food options also a walk away. The view is great! Besides that, do not expect high amenities from the hotel. Additionally, if you’re staying the weekend, there is no gym available.

If I could give this hotel 3 1/2 stars I would. It is kind of difficult to find the hotel, as it is in a building full of other offices. The actual hotel is only the top 2 floors of the hotel. The room we stayed in had a stunning city view that really made me appreciate the stay. The bathroom seemed outdated, especially the tub. Would I stay here again? Possibly but it would not be my first choice. Close to union station!

From the time we arrived through checking out, both the building security staff and the hotel staff were amazing in every way! Always positive, polite, attentive, welcoming, and courteous. The building, hotel, and the room itself were immaculate. The amenities were wonderful. The view was breathtaking both day and night!!! This property and all of the staff are an absolute hidden gem!

Great location, close to Amtrak.

We had a nice night, it was a little difficult to figure how to get in the building, but once we did, it was easy. We walked to a place a block away for a delicious breakfast and then walked 2 blocks to the train station to head home.

Nothing negative about The Buckingham itself, but a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT was that the pool was for only ages 18 and up. We came to Chicago for spring break with our 8yo daughter and promised her a pool. Pool is listed in the amenities with ZERO MENTION of age restriction. It's only when you check into your room that there's a small sign that says the pool is 18 and up. That really, really sucked. PLEASE help other families know this up front.

The view was amazing, the room was very clean and the breakfast was just enough. It was very quiet, the customer service was outstanding. I was able to visit Chicago by walking because everything was near and I could walk to any destination. The parking was convenient and easy. I would definitely go back to this hotel.

Great stay! Great views, really! The train makes a lot of noise and we can hear from the room, but that’s not the hotel fault, but, in the future I’ll prefer some option without this disturbing recurring from every 15min 24/7 noise
