The Hoxton, Chicago

It was clean and I loved the ambiance and atmosphere. The view from my room was beautiful! I watched the sunrise because I couldn’t go to sleep.

I was awakened out of my sleep by a man who came to my door at 2am, banging on my door and trying to get in even after I told him he’s at the wrong door, he was there for 30 minutes then left and came back until I called the front desk to come get him. She asked if he was with me and I said no and no one knows what room he was in. So that was extremely scary and off putting. I wouldn’t visit or recommend that place to anyone else and I had high hopes for the place. But that experience left not only a bad taste in my mouth, but as a woman, has me on high alert when I go anywhere now. I think I have PTSD from that because I thought he was going to come in and that was just frightening after having a crazy night already.

Location was good

Noisy and evenings were very crowded. Could barely get a drink anywhere

The Hoxton is a great hotel. The amenities are very cool - although be sure to check out the timings as we didn't get to end up using the pool due to it shutting at 4pm which we weren't aware of. The Ladybird speakeasy was absolutely great and they have some cool recommendations by reception from previous guests of fun restaurants bars and things to do which was a nice touch.

There was a bit of an issue with our room, it seemed like after we checked in there was sugar/sand in the bed which was a bit off-putting. We found a couple of staff members a little tricky to interact with but the majority of the staff were exceptionally friendly helpful and understanding.

Location services, bathroom could have been more cleaner

The food was not good but the drinks were great and service
