From reading other reviews of the small rooms at Hotel Felix, I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the room (average for a city hotel) and very pleased with the quality. The bed and bedding, bathroom fixtures and towels were all very good. They have a decent hotel bar with comfy furniture to sit and enjoy your drink, while people watching on the city sidewalk through the huge windows. The desk employees were very average, but Charles, the bellman, was superior. He advised us regarding a restaurant and it hit the nail on the head...the perfect place right in the neighborhood and right within our budget.
The only real negative I experienced is the noise level. I could hear the person in the room next door power up his computer and talk on the phone (at 5 am...how nice!). And our room was right by the ice machine. I heard people coming home from the bars at 4 am too. But still, this is a city hotel and you have to expect city noises.
I will definitely stay here again. It's unusual to get this kind of quality for $82 in downtown Chicago...and we stayed in December when there aren't many rooms to be had!
