My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The resort is in the heart of downtown Chicago, making it the perfect location to explore the city. Our room was modern, comfortable, and offered beautiful views from the 20th floor. One of our favorite perks was the complimentary food and drinks served daily on the 26th-floor lounge. Although the resort is currently undergoing renovations and has limited on-site amenities, its central location more than makes up for it. We were within walking distance of Millennium Park, the Flyover Chicago experience, Navy Pier, and many excellent restaurants and attractions. Our only downside was the $79 daily parking fee. Looking back, we would have skipped the rental car and simply taken an Uber from the airport. If you enjoy live jazz, don't miss Winter's Jazz Club. We had an incredible evening listening to Better Together. We've traveled extensively around the world and appreciate great jazz, and this group was among the best we've heard. Chicago also exceeded our expectations. On our first day, we took the subway to a Cubs vs. White Sox game and experienced firsthand the city's passion for baseball. While Chicago often gets attention for crime, our visit gave us a very different impression. We felt comfortable exploring the city, and everywhere we ate, the food was outstanding. We can't wait to return!

Slow check in service which was painful after 14 hours travelling. The place is in a good location but it’s very dated and basic and bad views of the city. Limited amenities in the room and the rooms are not serviced so you have to ask if you need anything. Staff are friendly and nice. It was ok for our short stay but over priced for what you get.

The timeshare certificates or vouchers they offer are not worth the time . Its for the cheapest room and can't be used on the weekends. Its also has to be used at one time . Your also required to pay two sets of fees. Beware. Dont waste your time. They dont help with parking. I had to pay 50 bucks. Not even a discount

This hotel, unfortunately is a scam. They will not service your room for stays under 10 days which is outrageous. This information is not disclosed when booking nor to travel agents know it. This is no longer a forest. Our hotel amenities include coffee at a coffee shop and a standard hotel gym. This is not a resort. I would not recommend staying here.

We had 2 free nights from Wyndham Rewards and picked this hotel. The Sports Illustrated Resort is under new management and currently making improvements. The room we checked into was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable and had a neat rain type shower. It had 2 sinks and a vanity for my daughter to get ready in the morning. The highlight of our stay was the free drinks and games at the rooftop bar from 3pm-7pm. We enjoyed playing shuffleboard, pool, and air hockey all while relaxing and looking at the city on the rooftop. My only wish was that the rooftop bar was open later! It would be cool to see the city at night from up there. Overall, it was a nice comfortable stay in a good location.
