Hotel 55 Chicago Downtown

Robert was absolutely exceptional! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His professionalism, positivity, and willingness to accommodate every request truly stood out. Not only did he deliver everything we asked for, but he exceeded our expectations in every way. I’m so grateful we had the chance to work with him—he played a huge part in making my daughter’s birthday incredibly special. Highly recommend!

A top notch experience at a newly minted Marriott Property. As usual, I will list the pros and cons. PROS: 1. Very good location a block from Michigan Ave. and two blocks from the Red Line. Hotel is on Ontario which is quieter than some of the surrounding streets. 2. Excellent, friendly employees especially Robert at the front desk. 3. Very nice suite. I had Room 1719, top floor facing away from the street. I never heard a thing. Room was comfortable, good bed, shower pressure, small living area, coffee, water and a safe. Breakfast was included in the restaurant downstairs (maybe because of status) with a limited menu of three choices. 4. Fitness center was very nice minus the Peloton which will be discussed later. Many new weight machines and free weights, two stationary bikes, treadmills, stretching area. 5. Price, very reasonable compared to all the hotels in the immediate area. CONS 1. Obviously, I am a huge Peloton fan (one in my living room at home) and I only stay at properties at that have Peloton bikes. TripAdvisor and Marriott reviews mention the Peloton and I called the hotel before I booked and they assured me they had one. Even after I discovered there wasn't one, the front desk said they thought there was one there. As information, I determined that the Marriott one block away has six Peloton bikes and an even more impressive fitness room. How do I know? Figure it out.! I will definitely stay at Hotel 55 again (when they get their Peloton) Cheers! Marius

It seems like this hotel was recently added to the Marriott network and figured I'd check it out. From the beginning, the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I was upgraded to a corner suite being a titanium member with Marriott without even requesting it, and the room was great. I called about a couple decaf Nespresso pods pretty late night and the front desk had it delivered within a minute. Shower water pressure was top notch, and super quiet at night (aside from the street noise but typical with any hotel in the middle of the city). Location is also really good, sort of in between the mag mile area and river north. Will definitely be staying here again, so glad it's part of Marriott now!

I enjoyed my recent stay at Hotel 55. The prosecco and macaroons at check-in were a nice surprise! I was upgraded to room 822 which was a larger king room with a sitting area on one side and a guest nook on the other. The room featured a tub and stand-up shower in the bathroom, robes, good coffee, and full size bottles of water. I liked that the windows open slightly to let in some fresh air. This particular room was close to the elevator, so I did experience some noise from that, but otherwise it was on the quiet side of the hotel with the windows facing internal. The attached restaurant was convenient for a quick drink and bite before heading out for the evening. Plenty of restaurants, bars, etc nearby, as well as the Bally's casino. I would recommend Hotel 55 for anyone looking to stay in the River North area.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, big rooms, everything was perfect. Francisco at the reception was very helpful.
