We really like The Emily Hotel Chicago. We've stayed a few times this year because the location is very near many great restaurants and bars. The hotel itself has really good dining and lounge options. The staff treats us very well and the rooms and beds are clean and comfortable. A great hotel in a really fun part of town!

The hotel was clean, cozy, and conveniently located near the CTA and several great restaurants. The beds were very comfortable, and overall it was a great stay. My only small complaint is that I wish there had been a shower door, as it felt a bit cold without one. Other than that, everything was excellent!

Beautiful hotel in great walkable area. There were major renovations going on while we were there so our actual floor was a bit messy/busy, although the common areas remained lovely. Would stay again for the good location. All staff very nice.
