We were left with a very good impression of this Four Points Sheraton property after four nights in January. Offers a great location just off Michigan Avenue and within easy walking distance to all of the best bars, clubs and tourist attractions of the downtown area. Fitness center was small but nice, the hot tub and pool were very good and seemed to be popular with families all day, every day. Front desk staff were very helpful with local directions and tips.
While it offers some frills, others aren't available, like breakfast or a hotel restaurant. The hotel is connected by private doors to a very nice Japanese restaurant and local bakery/breakfast option. A Trader Joe's grocery and Starbucks are right next door.
But because of all the hotel competition in this city, I certainly wouldn't recommend paying whatever the full price is that they're advertising here. Anything over $100 would be too much for me, based on the pros/cons here and other options along Michigan Ave. Front desk staff missed my early wakeup call one morning, which is normally a death blow for me and hotels. But the manager quickly contacted me that morning, apologized and offered a Starwood points bonus to compensate. I appreciated the gift, and the manager's effort.
Overall, a very good choice, especially for families.
