Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

Hotel Felix River North/Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was very nice. I wish lotion was provided in the bathroom. I wish they would include the extra fee (I think it’s called an amenities fee) in the price listed on Expedia . It’s listed only when you actually make the reservation. I didn’t notice it until I had to pay it when I checked in. While the gym is new and nice, I would have gone elsewhere if I’d known that the real price was more than I expected. Also the gym needs to have disinfectant available so one can clean equipment before using it."
