We stayed 6 nights and was glad to have chosen this Marriott location. There are many choices, but we think this was probably the best one for us. Firstly, location - it is right on East Ontario and North Michigan which is a very convenient location. It is walking distance to Navy Pier, to buses and shopping on Michigan and many restaurants. The subway is a bit further south west or north west, but most sites can be reached by bus.
The place was clean, had a mini-fridge and was quiet, With 2 kids, our 2 queen beds was perfect. It was a bit larger so there was a small sofa, coffee table and separate chair. It felt roomy.
The workout room was large and had many machines. One downside was that the pool was not heated so it felt pretty cold but we still swam 3 times.
The staff were friendly. We used the business center and printed some tickets for free. We used their laundry and the detergent was complimentary which was nice. One other downside was the parking which is $41 per day which is something that people will need to budget for. But that is the normal daily rate of having a car in Chicago.
Overall, very happy. It's not a 4 or 5 star hotel, but very comfortable for the price.
Tip for coffee drinkers - Duncan Donuts is close by which is another choice to the Starbucks down in the lobby.
