Amalfi Hotel Chicago

I feel like this boutique hotel is trying to be fancier than it really is. The rooms were nothing special, pretty small, no view. The rooms are nowhere near sound-proof. I heard every door in my wing open and close all night long making it a rough night sleep. They do offer a free happy hour and continental breakfast. Next time I'm in Chicago for business, I'll try the Renaissance across the street or the Westin in the Loop.

While meeting in Chicago on business, we decided to stay at the Amalfi due to a good Internet rate and having heard good things about it. Really, we left pretty satisfied.

This is not what I would classify as a luxury place, although it is decidedly above most chain hotels. The room, while not huge, was spacious enough for a business trip, and it was shiny-clean. The bed was very comfy, and there was plenty of hot water.

The staff was very helpful in recommending places to go and grabbing cabs. Check in and out was quick and very painless.

I do recommend this one for business trips, although you may want something a bit more upscale for romatic get-aways. They'll treat you right, in any case.

PROS: Good staff, slightly up-scale property
CONS: No extra pampering as far as room surprises after outings
