Hotels Near Monarch Community Garden in Chicago

A single room has a relatively small space and a general environment. It is suitable for one person to travel and live for a short period of time, and is suitable for people with low living conditions, such as students. There is a lot of traffic at the door, so you need to pay attention to traffic safety when going out. There are supermarkets, shopping malls, subway stations, etc. nearby, and the living facilities are convenient, but the sanitary conditions are average.

I was here at the beginning of the summer and was very impressed with everything about the place. I have a feeling it is already very popular and might be hard to get into here during busy weekends. That being said, it will be the first Marriott location I will try to stay when returning to CHI.

First time in Chicago so didn't know where to stay, luckily I found this hotel and it was very nice, hotel rooms are nicely decorated and clean, took a while to figure out where coffee machine was but found it in the end, only blemish was one set of elevator was not functional but there was no notice posted. It's not that difficult to post notice on the tenth floor was it? But all in all, a pleasant stay and a great location with nice restaurants around hotel, definitely will come again.

My cousin and I were really happy with this hostel. We were lucky to get an 8 person dorm to ourselves, with en suite bathroom. The complimentary buffet breakfast was decent and the coffee good. Most staff were very friendly and helpful. The one drawback was a big one for us: out of 3 laundry rooms, none of the machines were working! There are dry cleaners in the area but no laundromat so we had no choice but to wear the same clothes for the next 3 days. There's no excuse for allowing all the machines to break down before calling for repairs. The hostel is huge, 7 stories, and offers all kinds of activities, a cafe next door, a fabulous library across the street, and even programs for the community. I saw an infant massage class going on in a meeting room.

The elevator halls on each floor are very spacious, with 14 elevators. Although you need to change elevators on the 20th floor, it is still very convenient. It has a good view of Lake Michigan and the park. The service in the restaurant is friendly and the breakfast price is reasonable at US$25.

Stayed 3 nights at this hotel as a Hilton Honors Gold guest with $30 Food and Beverage credit per night. Encountered outrageous issues enumerated below: 1) Checked in just after mid-night when valet has already closed. I eChecked from Hilton app and received digital key ahead of time but stopped by the front desk to make sure she has my car key for the Valet in the morning. She made a few keys which I sent my husband with so that he can get into the room to unpack as I stayed behind to fill out the paperwork for the car. He opened the room door to guests already asleep and both parties were shocked. The guests staying in my room called down to the front desk, and the only employee at the time started explaining why this may have happened. In that process, my FULL name was shared with people who are sleeping in the room I was assigned to and I learned the name of the other guest and that of her husband. The receptionist was completely frazzled, so I decided to report this to front desk the next morning. I was offered free Valet Parking during my stay. 2) There was NO restaurant onsite and no way for me to spend my Food and Beverage credit except at the self-service snack bar at the corner. I looked at the selection and inquired what my options are if I didn't want anything from the bar. I was told that I can purchase Hilton points with the F&B credit at check out, which I attempted to do. The receptionist told me that their record showed I purchased a bunch of snacks upon check in...I never even walked towards that area as I was dealing with the wrong room fiasco. I was promised to be made whole before they apply the $90 credit towards Hilton points. 3) After four emailed receipts after check out with a balance that finally showed 0, I waited a few days before I called Hilton Customer Service to check as I still haven't seen the point purchase. I was on hold with the first agent for 20 min as she supposedly called the hotel to check. She then told me she's transferring me to another agent to open a case. This was not a warm-hand-off, so I had to tell the story all over again, as the agent appeared to be soothing a crying baby at the same time. I was then again put on hold, for another 20 min, only to be transferred to the hotel reception to tell me that they now show I made snack purchase on the first night of my check in AND AGAIN upon check out, so there's no credit that they can apply towards point purchase. NOW..I don't know how to prove that I wouldn't touch the crap they have in that sad little corner they call snack bar, I'd like to know how HILTON can prove that I made those purchase. At this juncture, I'm putting this behind me. Stay away from this hotel...actually, given my experience with Hilton Customer Service, I'd say stay away from Hilton altogether.

This is a lovely building with much attention to detail in it's design. Our room was very nice with quality furnishings with one exception. We both felt that the mattress was extremely uncomfortable considering the higher price we paid for the room. Self parking is about 1/4 mile from the hotel entrance which seemed odd to me. There was no provision for a shuttle service. We ate one meal at the hotel - a banquet for the event we attended. The food was good but not outstanding. Overpriced for what we got. No free continental breakfast.

Nice hotel. Full service hotel with a restaurant & bar. The staff was very nice. The rooms were great and had some items which sets them apart including great lighting (usually the lighting in a hotel makes it difficult to see if you’re trying to work), a large tv, and a bathroom with a fan.

Except that it is a little off the beaten track, there are also restaurants nearby, but it takes a few minutes to walk, everything else is OK. The hotel has its own restaurant, so you have no choice but to eat at the hotel late at night. The taste is not bad. It is more than 40 dollars from the airport. I remember that there is a taxi called city cab from the airport, which is too expensive. Because he can't go anywhere else after accepting the order, he can only go back, so there is a fare that needs to be paid and shared with the driver. As a result, I paid more than 60 dollars, and more than 70 dollars including consumption, which is super expensive. The hotel breakfast is self-service. When you check in, you will be given a colored coupon, and then you come to order. It seems that each different color coupon has different types of options. Mine is purple, I suggest you look at my choice. At the same time, because I booked with Ctrip, the itinerary changed, and I couldn't cancel one night. I wasted 1,000 yuan, which is very unsatisfactory.

Overall, it was not bad. The original was a twin room, but the front desk told me that the twin was not there. You could add a small bed. The room size was limited and eventually it was not added, because the father took the sofa every night. This hotel is partial business, if private travel is not recommended. Surrounding packages can be convenient for eating and shopping.
