    From the king bed looking towards the bath.
    Tara S.

    Love this hotel! Highly recommend the king suite with a sofa sectional and two TVs. This luxurious room had all the finishing touches you expect from a boutique property: gorgeous and tastefully selected wallpaper, carpeting, and lovely room-darkening draperies. The bed was extraordinarily comfortable, yielding but super supportive. There was a roomy bathtub great for a soak after exploring Jewelers' Row, and also a separate shower for those who don't like stepping in and out of a tub. The lobby is a show-stopper in mottled-black and striped-white marble. There's a coffeemaker in the room but we just popped downstairs in the morning for the Lavazza that they serve in the lobby. (Don't miss the restaurant which serves fresh hot food and will accommodate your sensitivities such as gluten allergy.) We were very grateful for the desk agent and management who swiftly resolved a glitch with our online booking. A beautiful property offering a cut-above kind of stay.

    We stayed overnight at the Silversmith Hotel last weekend while attending the Chicago Symphony. I was quite surprised at how lovely this hotel was. The rooms were spacious and very clean with comfortable beds, the rooms decorated nicely, the staff was friendly, and the location was great. I will definitely be choosing this hotel again when we come into the city to go to the theater or for a weekend away.

    FIVE STAR REVIEW DUE TO SERVICE, DECOR, & SAFETY. Read entire review to see biggest concern discovered the morning of checkout. Pros: Beautiful hotel decor, the greatest staff, and super safe in downtown/The Loop Chicago. Enrique and Berun at the front door are phenomenal. I understand they are working for their tips, but their kindness and eagerness to help are genuine at the same time. They both go above and beyond to assist guests entering and exiting the building, with luggage, tips about the city and more. Nikko at the front desk was warm and inviting as well. The bartenders were okay once you get them talking. Renee was warm enough and held a conversation, at times maybe felt like she was doing it because she had to. The other gentleman I encountered: I didn't catch his name. He told me he's Cuban and he's been there since 2017, if I remember correctly. I approached the bar on Monday around 5:30 and I sat directly in front of him. He had his back side resting up against the inner circle of the bar facing me but he was watching the television behind my head. He didn't acknowledge me and I sat there a good amount of time before I asked if they had a happy hour menu due to seeing the board stating happy hour is from 4:30pm-7:00pm. He pointed to a closed menu on the bar to the right of me so I reached over and grabbed it as it wasn't close. I sat there a while and looked at the menu. He never once asked if I was ready or needed suggestions. So I finally told him what I wanted. I struck up a conversation with him to see how that would go! He held a lengthy conversation once it started going. I think the free drink vouchers to the hotel guests are not the greatest idea and here's why: I feel like they looked at me and automatically assumed I had some (you receive one per night of stay but you can use them together). It made me feel cheap and I definitely got the sense that the bartenders treated me different, and again before they even knew how I would be paying for my beverages. I bought too many drinks to count outside my two tickets I received. I used those on my first night but I ordered more $16.00 cocktails after that. I tipped based off of what my bill would have been had I paid for the two complimentary beverages. So my first night I tipped well over 20%. Second night with the gentleman, zero! I was so put off and offended that he disregarded me/flat out ignored my presence that I just couldn't. Cons: the rooms do not have microwaves, never found an ice machine but also didn't ask for one, the walls in the public bathroom and in the actual hotel room were dirty (just random splatters and different colors), and the back of the doors in the public restroom were visually disgusting around the trim and the door handle. The biggest con: the room heavily smells like mildew/musty/moldy. Upon inspection the morning we checked out, the wallpaper was peeing back at the baseboard and even though I was hesitant to peek, I did anyway. To my horror, it appears as though there is some heavy black-colored mold in the wall. *if you need to use a microwave I was informed they will bring one out of their kitchen and put it on a booth table in the restaurant and sometimes they will it up to your room (just weird and deters you from asking) Parking: We used Spot Hero online to secure parking for the duration of our stay and parked our car at the Grant Park North parking garage and it was great. The walk is super short and the garage is easy to maneuver. I saved the pass to my Apple Wallet and 2 1/2 days with the service fee was $69 and some change, a lot more affordable than the other options.

    Look under the blue soap. MOLD!

    I booked our stay here two months in advance and prepaid the entire stay. We arrived on a Tuesday at 1 o'clock, and they gladly checked us in early. We were told our room was upgraded. To what I don't know? Maybe we were upgraded to the back of the building so we don't have to hear the train. There were two of us and we're staying seven nights and we only had eight coat hangers . So I called down to the front desk and asked if we could have more coat hangers and I was told yes. So I waited and waited and waited for the hangers to arrive before I took a nap. They never arrived. I took a short nap and we headed out into the city. When we returned, there were no hangers. We noticed we only had one coffee cup, and no coffee stirrers. The next morning I went down to get our complementary coffee. The coffee pot was empty. The man attending the coffee service was on his cell phone. I asked him if more coffee was coming and if they provided hot water. He grabbed the coffee pot and a coffee cup, and he went to the back. He came back with a cup of hot water and fresh coffee. I would say he wasn't engaging or friendly. I asked the front desk again if I could have more coat hangers, I was told yes. We went out for the day and when we returned at night, we still had no coat hangers. Also, it seemed like maid service just emptied the trash cans and made the bed. The pillows on the couch weren't rearranged. There were wet towels on the counter in the bathroom. I went down to the front desk. I asked what housekeeping was supposed to do and apparently they didn't do what they were supposed to do that day. I asked if we could have coat hangers. I explained that I've already asked for them twice the young man at the front desk said yes, he would send them up right away and within 10 minutes or so we received hangers. Thank you. The next day we decided to go to the bar for a drink. There were two bartenders. A man and a woman and the bar was full. We took the last two seats at the bar and we chatted with the couple next to us. After about 10 minutes of being ignored I asked the male bartender if we could order a drink. I asked him if he could tell me about the wine choices and he gave us menus. His energy was just shy of being hostile. After a few minutes he never came back so we left. Overall, we found some of the staff friendly and some appeared to not like their job. The bathroom was not cleaned very well. The pillows were lumpy. You can see in the photos the mold in the shower. The location of Silversmith is great, the cost of the room was good. I thought we paid in full up front and when we check out we were told there would be an addition charge of twenty something (I can't remember the exact amount) a day. That was dissapointing.

    Is there a spa in the hotel?

    No spa. There is a small fitness area though.

    Did anyone stay in a room that fronted Wabash? Was it too noisy from the L? Any other room recommendations? Thanks!

    Yes, I stayed in a room that fronted the street in May. It was really noisy from the train, they are also doing construction on the street, so it's noisy during the day as well. At night though the train whistle is very loud.

There were passed drinks and hor-durves, as well as friendly, helpful bartenders for those wanting beer, water or soda. One of us spilled something on a light-colored jacket, and they came to our rescue with seltzer and wipes. There was also a buffet with Spanish themed food (empanadas, paella) and small bite dessert bar. I asked about what had red meat/pork and thankfully I was dutifully informed. The caterers gave me and my party some leftovers! Not sure what prompted that but we appreciated it(we tipped even on free drinks). The missing star has to do with the wine. It was AWFUL! I tried to break it up with beer, but I got so sick the next day, I had to cancel my evening plans. I probably over indulged, but I have had more wine in one sitting with way fewer side effects. I may just stick with beer next time.
