If you are looking for the latest in luxury, this is not for you. We stayed here two nights when we went to Wrigley for The Dead & Co. shows (which were amazing!). The rooms could use a makeover, but it was quiet and clean, the bed was comfy, it's reasonably priced for the area, and we could do a mini-pub crawl to and from the ballpark. The manager at the front desk is super super nice. It's a slightly off-beat boutique gem and we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel was great and the staff were very friendly. The only thing was that I booked a one room with 2 beds and they gave me a room with one bed. They were not willing to switch because “I did not reserve a bed with 2 beds.” But everything worked out anyways. I will most likely stay here again but I would call them a few days ahead of just to confirm.

Juan was very helpful. The only issue was the ability to change the ac settings.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was a solid three star hotel. The staff was pleasant, friendly and helpful. There is no bell person, no restaurants, and no amenities but for a minibar scantily stocked in the room and a coffee and hot water container in the lobby. It was clean but found three of the pillows without pillowcases. This was easily and quickly rectified. The hotel was conveniently located in a lovely, safe neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants around. It was exactly as advertised which was a nice surprise.

Staff was professional & helpful in every way. We were new to this neighborhood and offered various suggestions. I love beautiful historic properties, and The Willows is a gem. Will be staying there again.
