“Good value as long as you don't pay full price”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

We stayed at this hotel due to a Name Your Own Price win with Priceline. We snagged a room for a little more than 50% off of the advertised rate on the hotel website, which was a nice surprise. I'll try to sum it up below: The good: 1. Location is phenomenal. Close to mostly everything. 2. Hotel lobby is... More

“We always feel welcome”

We haven't been to Chicago for years, and was a bit apprehensive about being in a city we weren't familiar with. This was back in 2011. As soon as we walked into the Lobby, we felt welcome. That feeling never left during our entire stay. We now have stayed at the W the past 3 summers, and will continue to... More

“Very hipster and trendy.. could pay attention more to comfort”

Ok... Pros- very comfortable sleeping, great service, good location.. very close to Navy Pier. Free acura shuttle to take you anywhere within 5 miles. Nice view from the lakefront side. Cons- no privacy in your room. There are shutters and a sliding slatted door between the bathroom and the bedroom so you can hear everything that goes on. Plus a... More

“Great hotel, good location”

Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

I had a very nice room with view over Lake Michigan. It had a good size and a great bed. The bathroom was fantastic and service good. Its also close to the northern section of Michigan Avenue for great shopping!

We couldn't be happier that you were felt so comfortable and welcomed during your recent time with us! The coziness of the beds coupled with gorgeous views of Lake Michigan is the perfect recipe for a relaxing time. We hope the comfort of your room gave you the energy you needed to hit the town shopping! Till next time! Jessica... More

“Adequate hotel, stay if you can get a good deal.”

Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

We ended up staying at the W lakeshore when bidding for a hotel deal on Priceline. It was good enough for us as we didn't expect too much, and were more concerned on getting a good deal (4* hotels during the weekend we wanted were $300+ a night). Would not pay $$$ for this hotel. Adequate hotel. Does not feel... More

“One Night Stay- more than okay!”

We had a fabulous stay from start to finish. We checked in early (like, 11am early) and were upgraded to a lakeview with a king bed since there were no double rooms available at the moment. I offered to use SPG points, but Jackie was amazing and said it was on her- the little things, you know? They make all... More

What a glowing review! We are so proud to hear that Jackie and Ramon created such wonderful moments for you and your family. Those connections and personal touches are just as moving, if not more, than the views. We are so happy they welcomed you and that your stay was so special. We will be sure to share your rave...

“Tired dirty rooms with slow room service”

I am a SPG gold member and have stayed in several W hotels and this was by far the worst one I have ever stayed in. The room was super 8 quality with bad lipstick. The bathroom was dirty, the ceiling paint was peeling and the blinds look like somthing straight from the dollar store I ordered breakfast and after... More

“Amazing Views”

My husband and I enjoyed a great getaway weekend to the W Chicago Lakeshore last weekend. Admittedly, we would not have paid full retail price for the property but got luck on a Priceline bid. I'm so happy it worked in our favor! The hotel has an amazing view of Lake Michigan and is in decent walking distance to area... More

“Renovation Ready”

Reviewed 12 June 2013

I was disappointed by the service at this property and the shabby condition of the rooms. The restaurant was great though. It was my first stay at a W, I was expecting an upscale property but would not stay here again. Where should I stay on my next trip out?

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We are so disappointed to hear that your first W experience did not meet your expectations. We are pleased to share with you that we will be going through a complete renovation and redesign soon - and we hope you will consider checking out our new look on... More

“The W on Lakeshore is a great place to stay.”

Reviewed 11 June 2013

My Girlfriend and I had a great time in Chicago at the W. Clean, modern room with a great lake view and a mini bar. Also a great restaurant on site. Very close to navy pier and all it has to offer, also not very far from the museum, aquarium and planetarium. Will stay again definitely.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on your recent stay with us! We are so proud to hear that the location, dining and service made such a strong impression on you. We hope we have the opportunity to see you again soon! See you soon! Jessica Y. Marketing Manager More
