NEVER again at the Gwen!
VERY very disappointed in my stay at the Gwen, definitely will be my last! a business trip that was impossible to get business done on. Absolutely atrocious Wi-Fi and television connections, hardly could get on the internet and virtually zero TV service.. multiple calls to the front desk ruining my trip honestly. Better technology at a damn Holiday inn, but the kicker upon checking out.. yes CHECKING OUT, I got hit for a $1,200 deposit hold on my credit card and the only explanation was that "oh it would fall off" What sense does it make to bill me another $1,200 upon CHECKING OUT for a deposit hold?? Very shady... WAY too many choices in Chicago not going to the Gwen again!

Added bonus: Top Notch Concierge services !
Dear extended family were coming to The Gwen for a birthday celebration and I wanted to have a little welcome surprise waiting for them. I am so thankful that Concierge Russell Zwolinski answered my call! He sent me the most helpful link and walked me through the menu! He went above and beyond, and had the patience of a saint, dealing with a tech challenged lady. He is a gem! If the treats are as sweet as he is, it will be an even more outstanding weekend for the guests! Russell you are wonderful!! Thank you so very much!

Great Stay at The Gwen
We had a great stay at The Gwen Chicago. We were in town for the Big 10 basketball tournament. Excellent hotel. Very quiet – we heard no noise from the street (this is a city after all) or from rooms adjacent to ours (sides or above). This was a big deal for us as we stayed at The Pendry a few years ago (also a beautiful hotel), but we often awoke from sleep from the sound of police and ambulance sirens. This did not happen at The Gwen. Location is also excellent. You can walk inside to the large mall across the street. Close to tons of restaurants and one block off the magnificent mile. I would be remiss in not recognizing the services of the concierge (Russell). He was fantastic. So helpful and a really nice guy. Thanks Russell for your excellent service and advice during our stay.
