Originally, I had booked another, less expensive, downtown Chicago hotel for our quick trip in and out, but all my pals had elected to stay at the Hotel Felix. It seemed a little too rich for my blood, but this was a wedding, these were my friends, and well...it's only money. So I changed my booking and went with the Hotel Felix. So how to write this review? The room was attractive and expensive looking, very high-end finishes; the bed was fabulous, so very comfortable; the shower was terrific with its rainfall showerhead; the room was...small. Tiny. Almost miniscule. I bumped my shin on the box frame of the bed *every single time* I came out of the bathroom. There was no chair save the desk chair, and I -- thrashing and sleepless for a time -- needed one. Of course, there was no space, so I suppose there is no point in lamenting the lack of a lounge chair. So how do I ultimately judge the value of the room...was it comfortable? Yes, the bed was amazing. Was the staff helpful? Yes, you know at a hotel like this you're going to get actually information from the staff. Was the hotel attractive? Yes, in a modern and tasteful way. So was the room worth the exorbitant price I paid???? In the end, that was a lot of money for the amount of useable square footage, so I have to judge no...I've had better value at a good Hampton Inn. I don't think we could have spent more than one night in that room. However, if you get a deal, and a bigger room, I have no doubt the stay will be lovely.
