Awesome location and a great room.

Hotel 7 just had renovations done and let me tell you they have done a magnificent job. The view from the room was sensational -looking over the majestic river. The amenities were over the top, and the facilities were so pristine. They even had a TV in the bathroom! I know right?

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

I recommend you do not drive and park. All the parking places were really expensive!! The transit system in Chicago is great, so fly / or find another place further away. The Blue line took me directly from Ohare to a stop that was a short walk to the hotel!

Always Satisfied

This is a classy hotel with very comfortable rooms and an absolutely beautiful view. They have valet survice, if you'd like, but there is affordable self parking less than a block away. It is right down town, so you are close to the action, but if you need a taxi, one is stationed there for your convenience. I've been to Hotel 71 several times and have always had a good experience.

Spring Break Getaway

Overall this hotel provided a fairly decent experience. There was something missing however. Whether it was the lack of door man service or the construction going on right outside of our door I am unsure. We were out of the room most the time though so the construction was a minor annoyance. Just make sure not to get stuck in a room right next to the elevator. I have been to Chicago many times and this hotel seemed lackluster when compared to others.

Good but not great

The staff was always courteous and helpful, but the cleanliness of the rooms left something to be desired. The bathrooms in particular were not cleaned well. It is definitely not a higher end hotel, with no concierge and a single bellman at any one time. The restaurant/bar was desolate most of the time. However, the price and location make this a decent hotel; it wouldn't be my top pick, but if it was all that is available I wouldn't avoid it.
