I stayed in the Essex Inn in June 2005 and I thought it was a great hotel. Really good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a suite which was great. Very Spacious and comftable. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which serves some very nice food all day at reasonable prices too. The great thing also is the swimming pool and roof terrace. It was a novelty to sunbath on top of the hotel in the middle of a city! There is also a fitness centre which looked good although not my idea of fun!!
It says its a one star hotel but I would say its more like a 3 or 4 star. Its in a good location for many attraction in Chicago.It has its own underground parking(at an additional cost). I highly recommend this hotel and would very happily stay there again.
