Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

"Nice location. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Staff was really nice. Espresso machine in the room so that was nice. Older hotel so as long as you are ok with small Space and older looking rooms, you’re in a good spot. I think there are some nice touches for being an older property. Elevator is slow though so be patient or take 7 flights of stairs like I did . :)"

4.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (1689)
"The lingering problem about the hotel is not being able to control the temperature in the room. We tried to cool down the room, but was not successful. This problem would definitely make me hesitate to stay at this hotel again considering we visit Chicago a few times a year. We mentioned this to the staff at the front desk and was told that due to the changing of the seasons, the AC/heat can not adjust to our needs at this time. "
