theWit was a great deal for a hotel near everything I wanted for my 30th birthday. I think they are trying very hard to be a snooty/shi-shi hotel, but don't have the customer service or quality needed to become one.
I didn't host any of my birthday activities at the hotel, really just slept there. It is a Doubletree, so the beds are comfy and the rooms are fine. Being in a party mood, we were looking forward to playing music on the iPod player, but it didn't work. It took nearly a day to get a new one to our room. When I arrived in my room, the toilet didn't work and I had to wait an hour or so for them to send a plummer.
I recommend theWit for the location and value (if you can score a good deal online). This would not be my first choice of Chicago hotel in the future.
