Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent
"We did purchase a breakfast for all 5 of us. Paid over $100 for the breakfast to be included. We all had breakfast then I got a bill for over $160. I went to front desk. They said it would not be charged. I got home. It was charged. Came straight from my credit card. Had to call and get it taken care of. Super frustrating and worrisome. They did credit me for the breakfast and even included the tip we left the waitress for the inconvenience. Wonderful place to stay. Great location. Very convenient we parked in a public structure right across the street for $20 less/day than valet. Still pricey. But convenient to be able to get to your car whenever you want. I would for sure stay here again. Just wouldn’t do the breakfast. Not worth the hassle to pre pay for it. And not worth the price to pay up front either. It was delicious food. Just pricey for a breakfast."
