I came to Chicago for a conference and we chose the Silversmith because it was the most economical of the conference hotels, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of our stay. I often like older boutique hotels but have come to expect small rooms, and couldn't believe how spacious this one was, especially the bathroom, which made it very pleasant even for two unrelated people as we were. The room faced a brick wall but that is typical Chicago--I once had a room overlooking the fire escape at the fabled Palmer House and paid much more for it! I don't tend to spend much time in the room anyway, and the room location meant it was quiet. In fact, despite proximity to the "L" the room was one of the quietest I've ever stayed in. Staff was terrific, and could not have been nicer or more helpful. Convenient to the Loop area. I would stay here again, definitely.
