We stayed here for 6 nights in July, 2012.
Location
The location is very good. The hotel is only a ten minute walk from Michigan Ave., Hancock Tower, and only a 5 minute walk from the underground line. There are lots of bars and places to eat around the hotel. The hotel is opposite a soup kitchen, and although the queues are sometimes long, we never saw any trouble. For those wanting to hire cars while they are in Chicago, there is valet parking available at the hotel.
Rooms
The room we had was fairly small but made a good use of space, and we weren't cramped. The rooms looked to be newly decorated and the bed was so very comfortable! The rooms are air conditioned and have everything you would expect from a 4* hotel, including complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. Some people have reviewed saying that the rooms were small, and while they are not as big as in some of the Stateside hotels I've stayed in, they were very clean and comfortable and we had no complaints.
Staff
We found the staff to be very polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay.
Overall
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Felix and, because of it's proximity to the Magnificent Mile, etc., I would recommend this hotel. After reading some of the other reviews, it would seem that the poorer ones are from people that booked with Priceline. We did not book with Priceline and had no problems at all during our stay.
