Essex, Chicago hotel rooms at the Marriott Hotels & Resorts

"Overall nice hotel great service"

"Front desk is understaffed. The property is not bad but a little run down"

"Everything about this hotel just fell slightly short of my expectations. The shower drain in our room ran extremely slow, causing water to pool in the tub, also the walls in the shower needed to be wiped down better. The temperature of the hotel pool was very cold. The water was also very cloudy, not sure if the chemicals were off. "

"Only stayed one night with my wife and kid and the experience was great, view from our room was incredible. We will definitely book again for a longer stay next time."

"The room was perfect "

"We had a nice view of Lake Michigan and Navy Pier. However, our check in was at 4 PM and we did not get into our room until 6 PM. We arrived shortly before 5 PM to check in. We waited in line for 20 minutes just to check in. When we finally got to the desk, we were informed that our room was not ready. There were 10 people ahead of us who also did not have a room and they could not tell us a time as to when our room would be ready. We waited in the lobby for probably 30 minutes, which was not terrible considering they couldn’t give us a timeframe. The concierge was rude about the situation and not accommodating. The least they could have done was comped us for the time we waited. Very busy hotel. Lobby always full of people. Our room was fine, average. "

"Spider in the room, shower handle broken, wallpaper was stained, no toilet paper…disaster afterwards "

"I travelled for my birthday and I had an awesome time. The staff were very friendly and kind. All staff were extremely helpful and attentive. They remembered my birthday and each greeting felt special and personal. I looked forward to breakfast each morning to enjoy their tasty spread. My room was very comfortable and clean with amazing views . The hotel is located in a great area where you walk to great places with the bus stop around the corner. I was looking forward to the roof top restaurant however it was closed. That’s my only disappointment but I would definitely visit again God spare life"

"Great location, historic building, everything you need for a business or pleasure trip."
