알로프트 시카고 샬럼버그

I would like to say that the hotel itself and all of its fun colors and decorations are 10/10. The staff was decent. Nothing special. The only improvement I can see is their breakfast service. They don’t have free breakfast. You have to order it with someone at the front desk and then wait in the lobby for 15 minutes for someone to bring it to you. It would be nice if they could bring it to your room at least and if they could have other options. The food was tasty though! I also loved the board games, pool table and bar inside the hotel. One last note, they advertised an outdoor fire pit and an indoor one. I asked front desk about it and they agreed but it never turned on during my stay. Ironically they turned them on when I was checking out.

Great location, room was excellent, bed was comfy, felt very safe, gym is fantastic for a hotel and there’s a fireplace!!! Only two quibbles. First, the room was very quiet. The AC is on a motion sensor, so if you don’t move periodically, it turns off. As someone who needs a fair amount of white noise to sleep, I usually run the HVAC fan all night. However, because of the sensor, the fan would turn off and it would get very quiet in the room. This was pretty hard on me and I startled awake a number of times every night as people opened and shut doors nearby. Easy solution, bring a white noise machine! Lesson learned. The other was the hot water, although it got warm enough to shower, the water never really got hot and it took a very long time for me to warm up in the morning. That’s it, though, other than those two things, this place is great! The staff was warm and friendly, the facility is gorgeous, there’s even a pool!
