The experience was extremely misleading and unacceptable. This is not a hotel--it operates more like a shared living space. After a 12-hour drive, we arrived to find no front desk or check-in process. I had to contact the host, who then required a $300 deposit via Zelle or Venmo, outside the Hotels.com platform. This felt very unprofessional, but I felt pressured to pay due to the nonrefundable booking. The room was not clean: Sock left behind the bed Bedding appeared unchanged Dirt and debris under the bed Hours later, I was asked to return to let a cleaner in. Instead, we were moved to another room. The listing is misleading: Shared common areas (living/kitchen) Very basic rooms (no TV or standard amenities) "Luxury" only means a private bathroom Security was concerning: Doors left unlocked Keys left in doors Flimsy interior doors I felt unsafe enough to block the door while sleeping. Do not leave valuables in your room. Overall, this property is poorly managed and misrepresented. I strongly recommend avoiding it.

Booked early as I knew this was a High Demand weekend (NFL draft). Got note from NTS (had no clue who this was) on 3/16/16 that I did not have a booking/ sorry Flatbook overbooked the unit that is not theirs to manage and they cannot honor my reservation. WTF?? Flatbook initially tried to point finger elsewhere. Sorry, but I signed with you....any issues you have with others -- between you and them, not me. Flatbook offered a unit 25 minutes away on public transit, with no gym or hot tub as their "comparable" accommodation. No other consideration/compensation. Just got "sorry/we made a mistake/don't have anything else". They would be 'happy' to refund my money (yeah, and if I say sure, then they can say "I" requested a refund!). Thus, I'm left trying to find like accommodations at much higher prices.....and Flatbook is just shrugging shoulders... SUSPECT THAT THE REAL REASON is that Flatbook did not realize early enough this is a very busy weekend--when they did, dumped me to take a higher paying rental....OR is it that the unit they sold me is not/was not ever theirs to rent?? Also charming was the comment made to me "well, you are not the only one this happened to". I'm supposed to feel better about that?? Judging by comments made on social media, I am not the only one that this has happened to in Chicago. And as I discovered and questioned, the pictures they post are not necessarily from unit you are renting. Happened to notice that the same exact pictures were used on four different postings that they had on HomeAway in Chicago. Think long and hard before dealing with this outfit, especially if you try to book during high demand period. What a scam and shameful practice.

Careful, everyone! I just got an email that Flatbook is now known as Sonder.

The management office was up north (I forget where) which made it inconvenient to do things like sign the lease. Now they are owned by a new company that already seems disengaged despite this being a recent change. I recently accidentally shipped a package to the building and I called management to arrange a pickup. The man on the phone said he couldn't buzz me in because the owner is still setting that up or something. He said MAYBE someone could get it then bring it to their Lincoln park office (again, inconvenient). He also claimed that he could tell a maintenance worker but again no guarantee. Then he said I should just go to the building in go in behind some that's coming out. I expressed that I was uncomfortable doing that bc I didn't want to spook the residents. I asked for the building managers email. Emailed and got no response. So I went to the building, walked in behind someone coming out. A maintenance worker happened to come by and reluctantly let me into the second locked entrance. My order came in three separate packages. One was ripped open and stolen. The worker took down my info and said they'd have someone check the cameras. I sent another email explaining what had happened and asked if they could just please respond so I know someone is aware of the issue. No response. So if you decide to live here beware they are encouraging random ppl to go into the building to access packages w/o granting entry on their part.

While searching hilton.com for a hotel to stay at on the day of my birthday, Hampton Inn Majestic…read moreChicago Theatre District was the first to pop-up within Chicago. I want to say that I have had my eye on this hotel for a while now after looking for Hilton hotel locations with a peloton bike, which this one has. Other than that, I loved that the location of this hotel sits in the heart of Chicago, surrounding a plethora of activities which made it the perfect choice for hotel stay to celebrate. Okay, it was an experience going up to the lobby area to check in at this hotel, a blonde moment as I am known for if you follow my reviews. The lobby is located on the 4th floor, so be sure to choose "L" for the lobby because there is no 4th floor button listed in the elevator. Me and two other hotel guests had an adventure going up to the lobby area after trying to figure out where the 4th floor button was. My experience with the receptionist working behind the desk was nothing less than professional. Since my room was already booked through Hilton Honors, the only thing check-in consisted of was a verification of my information, a briefing on what is offered, and the receptionist giving me my room key. For your information, check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out ends at 12:00 PM! If you have the Hilton honors application, there is the opportunity to check in with the application, choosing your room, and receiving a digital key, which will allow you to go to your room contactless without seeing a receptionist upon your arrival. I have not used this method, but if you are interested in no contact whatsoever then you can use it with the Hilton Honors application. After locating and entering my room, I thought to myself this is fancy once I took notice of the design and interior color which appeared so elegant! There was a variation of vibrant colors in the room from its curtains to the headboard of the king-size bed, the carpet, and a gold chair that looked like something out of your grandmother's house. Out of all, I just could not take my eyes off the curtains which reminded me of cherry blossoms because of the colors. Inside the bathroom there were liquid products by Gilchrist & Soames Zero% attached to the wall. Throughout my travels, I have noticed that hotels have completely dealt away with the mini shampoo, bath soap, and conditioner products that made great travel hygiene additions. Along with those notable things inside of the room, it met my cleanliness standards. I had no issues whatsoever getting comfortable in the king-sized bed during my stay as my head was engulfed in between the comfortable pillows. While utilizing the shower, I really enjoyed the water pressure; its soothing pressure made me feel very cleansed during each usage. It was wonderful toggling with the spray patterns, with the addictive feel of the pressure hitting my face and body. Other things the room came with that I noticed were a comforter, an iron, ironing board, blow dryer, safe, comforter, a coffee maker (Hamilton Beach), a mini refrigerator, microwave, and USB and AC plugins attached to either the headboard of the bed, lamps, or the television cabinet, which added a nice touch to the room. And the Wi-Fi internet was easy to connect to and not once did I have any connectivity issues with it during my stay. Hampton Inn Majestic, as expected, had an exceptionally beautiful inner interior! As a fitness enthusiast, it was great having a fitness center onsite because it allowed me to keep up with my fitness routines during my stay. I must say that I was pleased to see several dumbbell weights, medicine balls, kettlebells, a decent selection of workout machines, and two peloton fitness bikes which charmed me out of my panties once I spotted them. And oh, honey did I enjoy it on my birthday with the lovely Hannah Frankson as my peloton instructor, who put my legs through torture during her low impact workout. Having the complimentary breakfast was a relief because I did not have to worry about finding a restaurant for breakfast in the morning. And I was highly satisfied with the quality of what was presented. It is served daily from 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM. For you all visiting the city of Chicago, there are plentiful sights, activities, and restaurants within a radius of Hampton Inn Majestic. As a resident, a few that I adore are Willis Tower, Millennium Park, and the Art Institute of Chicago! Next door is the CIBC Theatre, which I noticed upon my initial arrival at the hotel. And if you are looking to explore the city or outer part of the city, the Chicago Union Station, and CTA Train Station are very accessible to-and-from. I would surely book Hampton Inn Majestic Chicago Theatre District again due to my experience with it because the hotel met my comfort needs, and I loved that its location is within an accessible distance of things of interest in downtown Chicago. ~ Live every moment ~ Thomas G

Hampton Inn majestic will let you relive the Chicago fire!!!…read more Was not a fan of their elevators since they kept jumping from levels 6 and 7 and would randomly stop without being called. The last Hampton inn I got stuck in the elavator and had an off experience with getting help, so I chose to use the stairs. Upon using the stairs we were met with SEVERAL linen boxes blocking our only exit. They were all in different directions and could not be easily rolled out, especially when we were blocked behind them. Instead we had to parkour over it to escape. There was a valet driver sitting at the front and ignored us after I asked for help and continued to say she's just valet she can't do anything. These bins were there for well over an acceptable time, blocking the only stairs and fire safety exit but also for people that didn't enjoy their sketchy elevators. And again, pallets were there days later also blocking the ONLY emergency exit and stairwell exit. Completely unacceptable in a normal city let alone one with history of building fires. Exits should not be blocked and it's clear the building uses this space for "storage" often. Before the fire situation even happened, their breakfast situation was insane. Our first morning was on a Monday. Their service is until 10 am and around 9am we headed down for some fuel. By that time, the dining room was packed, the tiny buffet room was empty of food but packed with people who were waiting for tables, chairs and all of the food to be restocked. One woman was trying to run the whole operation while two men just stood behind the concierge desk and watched the shit show of breakfast service happen in front of them. Someone should have helped her get breakfast together. Even if it wasn't their job, in hospitality, their job as hotel manger or anyone who works in the hotel is to make sure the guest have a pleasant stay, not to look pretty sitting in front of the Hampton inn welcome to Chicago sign. Overall unorganized and not something nice to look at when you first walk into a hotel lobby, chaos. You would think the grievances would stop there. However we were then denied the benefits that we get as gold Hilton members. Previously at hiltons and Hilton branches we have been offered two bottles of water per room per day. Most of the time they would be offered upon check in (which they did not) and given daily throughout our stay. This time the concierge allowed my mom just to go grab them out of the fridge. The next day we did the same and the concierge Robyn gave me immediate backlash even after I said we were previously allowed to take them. She repeatedly said I was wrong and gave no hospitality to hear my side of the story. I didn't want to cause a scene and returned my water. She then slammed them onto our table as I was eating breakfast with my family. Definitely could have been better ways for her to deal with the problem and I did not appreciate the hostility coming from the concierge at 9 am. We were already all crammed at a small table because there are no seating arrangements easily accessible for families or even enough seats in the dining room. One star because housekeeping did great and my room was clean and refreshed when necessary (and because zero is not an option) Otherwise I would hope I never have to stay here again.
