Gwen stayed at The Gwen

Loved this hotel!!! I picked this hotel because I needed a place to stay in Chicago and because of its name. My name is Gwen and I loved staying here. I loved the rooms, location (it is walkable to everything even the water taxi on Michigan), and the easy access to parking. I can’t wait to stay here again.

The Gwen was a really lovely hotel with great vibes in the lobby and bar area, too. The concierge helped us with balloons and champagne in our room as we were celebrating a birthday, and the employee who checked us in gave us two drink vouchers when our room wasn’t ready right away. Overall, it was a great stay and location and I’d stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
I wouldn’t stay here if you are looking for a 5-star hotel experience. Amenities were lacking on the property and in the rooms, service was mediocre-poor and the rooms are fine but slightly run down. Feels more like a basic, massive chain 4-star hotel than a “luxurious” experience. Wouldn’t stay here again, unfortunately - completely overpriced and I’m surprised that this is considered to be in the 5-star hotel category.
