We loved our stay at Sports Illustrated Resorts in Chicago. All of the staff were friendly and willing to assist with anything. We were able to get an early check in and could keep our bags at the hotel on our last day, which was all really helpful. The rooftop bar was a hit! Pretty awesome you can get free food and drinks included with your reservation, that sometimes you don’t even see at more mainstream hotels. Would recommend!

8/10 Very good

The hotel was nice and the room was mostly comfortable. However, there were some oddities that were missing including no towel bars and no refrigerator. Additionally, a planned "Tailgating Event" on Saturday prior to a White Sox game was to start at 10:00 a.m and go to 2:00 or until the food ran out. Before 11:00 am there were only a dozen strips of bacon and some bread.

Well appointed room with plenty of space. Staff was extra nice; not something usually found these days. Helpful in offering suggestions for what was in the area. The rooftop party space was fantastic. Was there over a weekend; it was a party. Definitely would stay again. Excellent location.

I would highly recommend this hotel. The only issue we had was that there was not daily cleaning. I actually never saw hotel cleaning staff in the halls, but the room and hotel were very clean so I am not sure where they were. The hotel is near so many attractions and restaurants. On the second floor is a room with a pool table, air hockey, and other games which was a nice break.
