The Emily Hotel was in a convenient area of Chicago close to the family wedding we were attending in mid-September. Rooms were clean modern and had loads of desk space but no dressers or nightstands. Staff was helpful in telling us about the nearby parking garage beneath the Google building across the street. We parked our car there for $57/ day vs Valet for $85 (with unlimited in and) at The Emily. We would stay there again.

I was so disappointed in my stay at the Emily. For almost $500/night I was expecting nice, spacious rooms. The room was so small, the sink was in the hallway, the bed was so uncomfortable, dingy design. I’ve stayed at better Aloft or Moxy rooms. The food at Fora, the hotel restaurant, is uninspired and unseasoned. The brunch chiliques were bland. Skip this hotel in west loop and stay at the hoxton instead
