Courtyard by Marriott Chicago at Medical District/UIC

I checked in with a large group and a bus. We gave the hotel a heads up we’d be coming early, but of course they couldn’t guarantee early check in. I called 20 mins before arrival to ensure parking. I checked in at the desk with no expectations, and lo and behold, lovely Brenda at the front desk had a handful of keys ready for us to check in. It was a Christmas miracle, and Brenda deserves a raise. Not only accommodating and helpful, but very sweet and kind. We like Brenda. Five stars for her

Amazing….Home visiting for the holidays. Got in really late but they were still able to accommodate me. The staff here are very nice and make sure you have everything you need. Valet parking for $40.00 a night or you can park across the street and walk over. Nice gym, the hotel itself is very nice and clean. They also offer a very nice breakfast selection. Great view of downtown Chicago. I’ll probably always stay here when I comeback to visit.

Just a 5 minute walk from Rush Med Ctr. and the people there were all so lovely. We had a fortunate outcome from our testing and procedure but it was an anxious time. Our room was lovely, a little pricier than our usual but worth every penny. I had some wonderful meals at the bistro and Santos was very nice. Luis, the valet chief, was very kind to me also. But, most of all, Brenda at the front desk made me feel like family with her extra care and concern. Her positivity must have had something to do with everything going well for us!

Positive: "" Negative: I assumed since they had an parking lot that parking would be ok but when I checked in I was told that parking would be $40 a night or I could park across the street for $20 a night which was crazy to considering I was staying the weekend.

We had a great stay at this hotel. We spoke with two separate ladies at the front desk and they were both wonderful! The hotel is within 1/2 mile of the United Center and there is a shuttle that will run you to & from there. A few notes: This is next to the hospital, so you probably will hear sirens. I have experienced this downtown Chicago as well, so it didn’t bother us. We knew in advance that was very likely. Valet parking is $40. That is a good price for parking that close to downtown Chicago.
