Great location and hotel, just a bit noisy

Arlo Chicago was great for me doing a solo trip to Chicago. Very well situated in the downtown area with easy access to trains. A lot of interesting things to do and see within walking distance. Only issue was that I was on the second floor facing the Michigan Ave side and it was pretty noisy with all of the traffic and night life outside. Obviously not something the hotel can control but worth mentioning.

Great City Break

Great location, clean and friendly service. Rooms are reasonable size for a city hotel, but are fairly small (totally fine for my purposes, just FYI for families, etc). This was my first time in an Arlo hotel and will definitely add it to the rotation.

The mattress has plastic cover with it under its bed sheet instead of fabric/cotton mattress cover/protector/pad. Not sure if it was original mattress moving package… Not comfortable at all. Didn’t sleep well! Called Front Desk, but no one followed up…

Was a great and cute little hotel in a historic building. Loved the back alley entrance for uber and taxis drops offs. Room had a great view and staff was great. Bed was very comfortable and good pillows. Only 2 complaints: First, the honking outside on the street was excessive. Not 2 minutes would go by without a horn or siren and it was very clear in the room we had on the 17th floor. Second, the mini bar prices were pretty high, so we ended up just buying from the walgreens that is a 5 minute walk away.
