Location was perfect for the bars on the north side and was near many great food options. Was also surrounded by public transport options that went straight into the centre of downtown. A nice, quieter vibe if you're looking for something low key but also with everything you need around you.

I wish the view wasn't a brick wall and that it was easier to control the temperature in the room as it was either super cold or super hot with no in between. I also wish the fridge had a bit more room for our own purchases as it was so full to the brim with mini bar items it was hard to fit your own in.

The Willows hotel is located in the historical part of Chicago and is close to shops and restaurants. The location is really good and neighbourhood felt safe. The room served our family well as we had two large beds in one room. The hotel is old but it's been kept quite nicely. Staff was absolutely the best and was able to tell about the history of the building and the area itself.

As said, the hotel is old and although it's been kept quite nicely, it's a bit worn out. They do not serve breakfast but there were plenty of options close by.

Charming neighborhood feel with easy access to downtown or lake shore by bus provided what we needed. We parked nearby for less ($25) than it would cost closer to downtown ($45-$79) and had a good night’s sleep. Ours was the more budget queen bed room which we read reviews before as small, dark with brick wall view out the window and ac unit as downsides, but for us the clean, comfy bed, minibar and coffee in the lobby along with super nice and helpful staff made this the perfect stay for us.

For a longer stay, I would choose a different room with a brighter window

The character of the hotel was fantastic. The staff are very personable and helpful. Just being my teen daughter and me, there was no safety concern. Very spacious room with snacks / drinks in room for purchase (cheaper than gas station!). Lots of shops / restaurants close, super easy for Uber pick-up, and a neighborhood-feeling to the location, yet big city feel with the awesome character of The Willows.

Room views are limiting since top floor is 4th, apartments next door are same if not higher, and you're in the city (lots of buildings). However, the eclectic and historic frame of the hotel is worth it.

The Willows Hotel is a relaxing hotel with great ambiance. The location was great, within walking distance of stores like Walmart, Target, T.J Max and more. Safe neighborhood that’s alive and friendly, my partner and I arrived around 11p.m and we saw many people outside walking their dogs. Staff was friendly and helpful. No problems checking in or checking out. The room was spacious and even though the view wasn’t particularly amazing, it felt homey and allowed enough light to come in. The room was also very clean and included a snack area(not free but decently priced). The walls are on the thinner side but you really only hear anything in the hallway, not while in your actual room. Overall, really recommend this hotel! Good cheap stay for any reason!

N/A

The hotel is in a very cute area with tons of walkable shops, bodegas, stores and restaurants easy to find and easy to access. We also really loved the staff Tony was excellent and made our trip a great one!

There wasn’t anything major that we disliked just that it didn’t have a hair dryer but that was absolutely minimal and didn’t detract from our stay at all.

Great location, good bed, nice bathroom with tub, great staff.

Wish there were coffee in the room...and a view that didn't require hiding behind drawn window shades.

Room comes with all the amenities necessary, super-nice staff, coffee 24hrs in the lobby, free and reliable wifi

Room was a bit smaller than expected. No seating provided inside the room besides the bed.

The location was perfect, the size of the hotel made everything easy, and itc was quiet the entire trip.

Rooms vary widely in size. This trip, I had the smallest possible room, which was fine for a short term solo traveler, but would not have worked under a different scenario.

Extremely nice staff, beautiful old building, excellent mini bar stocked with many items not too expensive at all, lovely neighborhood location lake adjacent, comfy beds, very clean. Would definitely stay again.

Room was somewhat outdated but everything was in good order.
